Senior Swingers

It can be difficult to appreciate some of the physical restrictions in a golf swing that come with age. Firstly, try and turn the hips fully, this immediately improves your shoulder turn and improves your angles to hit the ball. You give yourself more time with a better rhythm rather than a short and snappy swing.

Secondly, let the left knee move behind the ball and the left heel to lift a little. (This is vice verse for left handers).

Thirdly, lighter shafts should be considered to achieve a higher club head speed for maximum distance.

Some seniors will benefit from thicker grips too if they suffer with arthritis in the fingers.

Get fitted by your Pro or coach, someone who knows your swing.
