Golf’s Retirement Planning Lessons

For many people, the idea of retirement planning and golf seem to go hand in hand. Once we stop working, spending more time on the golf course is a common goal.

Team Approach

The majority of PGA Tour players have a team supporting them to help them succeed. Sometimes these team members have very specific roles. Some common positions include the caddy, swing coach, short game coach, putting coach, strength and conditioning coach, even a sports psychologist. All these team members work together to help the touring pro maximize their potential.
