Senior Golf: It Takes Balls to Retire | iUniverse

Redefine retirement with golf-inspired guidance

Retirement can open a wide horizon, yet many newcomers to leisure time wonder how to fill the days with purpose. Senior Golf: It Takes Balls to Retire offers a thoughtful approach that pairs golf with daily structure, social activity, and personal growth. Authored by Robert Faber with insights from former University of Michigan golf coach Tom Simon, the book presents a clear path for older players to engage the sport on their terms. The tone is warm, practical, and lighthearted, inviting readers to imagine retirement as a new chapter rather than a final curtain.

You’ll find demographic notes about who plays golf in later life, along with anecdotes that reflect shared experiences on the course—from sunlit fairways to breezy afternoons on the practice range.
