Boca Raton Golf Magazine | The Golf Almanac Edition 20 Boca Raton, FL Edition 20 of The Golf Almanac: Rory McIlroy's Grand Slam, PGA pro tips and local advertising partners in pro shops at six Boca Raton clubs.

Auracal Senior Home Care ran their first ad with us in 2021. Five years later they're still here, now in the pages of our brand new Boca Raton edition.

The work they do is the kind most families don't think about until the day they need it. A parent who wants to stay in her own home but shouldn't be on her own all day. A golfer coming home from a hip replacement who needs a hand for a few weeks. Auracal's registered nurses, certified nursing assistants and home health aides handle those moments for families across Palm Beach and Broward counties.

They're based in Boynton Beach and work wherever the need is, at home, in the hospital or at a facility. If home care is a conversation your family has been circling, their page in the new edition is a good place to start. auracalshc.com

A Swedish study of 300,000 golfers found they outlived non-golfers by about five years. The study can't say golf is the cause, but look at what a round bundles together: four miles of walking, several hundred decisions and four hours with the same three friends. Each has its own research behind it. Our new article (linked in comments) looks at what the science says about golf and the brain. Do you walk or ride?

Alderfer Glass Co. has advertised with The Golf Almanac since 2020, and they're right back in this year's edition. Family owned since 1961, they handle everything from custom shower enclosures and mirrors to auto glass and commercial storefronts across southeastern Pennsylvania.

Six years of partnership. We don't take that for granted. Thanks for being with us, Alderfer.

We say it all the time: print is back. Turns out the research agrees.

In a national survey of 2,400 consumers, 82% said print ads are the advertising they trust most when deciding what to buy. More than TV. Far more than anything they scroll past online. (MarketingSherpa)

We've all turned an easy chip into a double bogey. In our latest Practice Tee article, our good friend John Carpineta, PGA, explains why that's usually a decision problem, not a skill problem. Four setup keys, the right club and a smarter play around the green. Read When the Chips Are Down below.

When the Chips Are Down Smart chipping starts with smart choices. Read the shot, pick the right club and let it run.
