Johnny Miller wanted his distances within 1/2 yard with his irons.

This how accurate Scottie Scheffler is:

not disagreeing Brian, there are always different level of golfers, however, my post was more in line with the suggestion about which clubs should "retirees" have in their bag and other retiree suggestions. Is a range finder going to help if you don't have a consistent swing or incorrect club selection? money would be better spent practicing for consistency and knowing the average distance of each club, than buying a range finder and thinking that knowing the exact distance will help your golf. the detail versus accuracy point

The post was also about muscle strengthening and stretching though indirectly. After playing other sports with "retirees", muscle conditioning and stretching may marginally improve abilities, but c&s is always more about injury prevention and enjoyment longevity. I do recommend stretching for retirees especially for colder weather injury prevention. . especially if you have sprinter muscle types, fast twitch. . or have had past injuries, such as herniated discs, and muscular scar tissue. . .
