Editors People in our age group know that there are some things that our bodies simply can't do anymore. It has nothing to do with determination or willingness to change.
Age takes a toll.
But that doesn't mean every over-50 player and every teaching professional has to give in to each problem associated with aging. Mike Perpich, Director of Instruction at RiverPines Golf in Atlanta, is one of those people. A lot of golf instructors just try to pacify students in the over-50 age group. The ball doesn't know how old you are. Perpich, who works with TOUR players Frank Nobilo and Grant Waite , says that the responsibility for getting good instruction also lies with the person taking the lesson.
