VIDEO SERIES: STEVE PATE ON SENIOR GOLF
We talked with Steve about a range of subjects for senior golfers, from how to get the most out of your practice to how to warm up for a round, how to maintain club speed as we age, how to prevent injuries, and how to dial in our wedge distances on a simulator. All of it was shot on a Player Preferred Series Studio Mat, which Steve recommends for getting the most accurate launch monitor metrics and staying injury-free.

BEHIND THE FIBERBUILT RELATIONSHIP
Suffered from a wrist injury prior to the 2023 season and was unable to practice because of the pain of impact on most hitting surfaces. Cody discovered that he could safely and comfortably hit on a Fiberbuilt Player Preferred Series Studio Mat in a friend’s golf simulator, which helped him get back to playing shape. This ultimately led to two consecutive 2nd place finishes at the beginning of the season.
