A ‘secret sauce’ to play excellent while you grow old? The great winner believes this is it

Padraig Harrington says he knows what he would do if he stopped playing Golf.

And what will he wear.

And what would he eat. Even the aroma.

“I would be sitting looking at the shopping channel,” said Harrington, “String Vest, in my jumps, chocolate ice cream stains on the vest. I would buy things and never opened them. Boxes would arrive, but never open. ”

None of these, of course, is to say you cannot Look at the shopping channel, only in a vest and your jumps while eating chocolate ice cream, especially after a long and successful career, which 30-year-old pros and great winner three times It has arrived, and especially when you grow old, and Harrington has received 53 laps around the sun. Easy is easy. Or not as difficult as what it takes to preserve what you used to be.

But Harrington thinks he can help with the latter. In a recent appearance in Golf Podcast – which you can Listen completely here – He was asked about the “secret sauce” in maintaining your body and continuing the improvement, and he is a qualified speaker. He has kept his distance. He has continued to play PGA Tour events.

His general opinion? Continue to fight. Be active. Lifting weights.

Then Harrington became specific.

You need to swing tightly-how not to keep the hard stop.

“Someone who is my age – 50 – they’re in business, but they have retired and that they will play more golf,” Harrington said in Podcast. “Well, you won’t enjoy your golf, you know, at the age of 75 if you’re hitting the ball 120 yards in the air. And you will lose between 50 and 75. You will lose speed and no matter that what do you do.

“So what you have to do in 50 is its push now so you have a reasonable amount when you have time to enjoy it when you are 65, retired. So I would recommend Everyone, within the physical boundaries, they need to improve the psychological side of hitting the ball more difficult. Tips for Paddy Golf; There are many things like that. But after all, maybe once a week, you need to lose the brake and discard the ball. So if you can wear the ball on, say, at a speed of 110 km in the club – now I mean to deal with it. Get a monitor…. Will give you the feedback. You can wash it at 110, you will surely be able to swing well at 100. “

Really? One, a zero?

Indeed, Harrington said. Just swing. Don’t look where the ball goes.

“But you say you dream at 110 – you dream 110 and make contact with the ball and hit it straight,” he said. “I am asking you to swing in 110 without any brakes. I’m talking like you are trying to fall a tree with an ax. I’m talking more wild, wicked, whatever you want. Take at high speed and then 100 mph will feel slow for you. Your problem is, you are thinking that I have to make a golf movement at 110. I don’t care how you reach 110. I don’t care how you achieve it.

“If you can reach 110, I swear, your golf swing will feel slow and quiet at 100. So your goal is always to ruin the ceiling in every way possible. I am not telling everyone to go out and remove it in the Golf Course. YEAR time, you may have lost the extra ceiling, but you are probably still where you are currently. And you would be – I can tell you what if you can swing in 100 miles per hour when you are 65 You were a king. “
