these senior golf pros continue to play the circuit, they do
hold different rankings for monetary awards. Charles in ranked

they go including the PGA circuit. These top five senior golf
pros take golfing to a new level and help to encourage other
seniors to continue golfing even if they are not with the
pros.
Senior golfing is a great way to stay in shape and the pros
have definitely shown us this as they continue to play some the
hardest golf courses around the country. Some of the courses
they play are harder than others and the skill level changes
from course to course. Still they continue to play and delight
crowds that travel great distances to see them match wits with
other senior golf pros.
