Peter Jacobsen Joins Golf Life Navigators Golf Life Navigators has a system to help golfers, who will be retiring in the near future, find the right golf community in Florida, Arizona or California. As a PGA Professional, Jason Becker witnessed several retirees become disenchanted with their first choice of golf club for their Florida retirement. With over 1,400 golf clubs to choose from, in Florida alone, how could a couple in New York, Cleveland or Chicago find the right one for them? While completing his Masters requir- ement, he developed the system to screen prospective retirees and condense the recommendations down to a workable number of two or three clubs for the client to visit to choose their best retirement option. South Florida Golf Hall of Fame member, Lynn Josephson, who had been in the Golf business for many years in southern Florida, found Becker’s model to have merit and partnered with him to turn his idea into Golf Life Navigators. Golf Life Navigators has continued to refine its programs. The newest version ProGuide3 uses an algorithm to consider every couple’s personal preferences, such as; location, budget, and amenities. By simply completing the ProGuide3 assessment, the proprietary system immediately provides retirees with the best matches for them. Think eHarmony meets Zillow, but for Golf Retirees! The ProGuide3 caught the attention of a variety of interested golfers, including, former PGA Tour Champion and NBC Golf Announcer, Peter Jacobsen, who has partnered with Golf Life Navigators as their spokesperson.
