Do you think you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Error when I was learning Golf, many of my students were over 60 and they were still getting better. I saw 25 handicaps turned 12s. The difference was not just talent. Was being known what to work in and HOW to do it. If you are over 60 and feel like a lack of distance, consistency or durability is holding you back, these tips can help you reduce your results without adjusting your pace.
Use hybrids that forgive your losses
Stop fighting with your long handcuffs. A hybrid, even in a 7-hybrid, gives you the rise and forgiveness your shake needs. Look for models with wide soles that slip across the ground. A slightly fat strike will not punish you like with an iron.
You may not be as accurate in your approach as you will do with short cuffs, but that’s okay. Keep short cuffs to score and use hybrids for better distance and fewer mistakes.
Grip the light to activate your hands
Many older people catch the club very tightly trying to “control” the ball. The problem is that this can slow down your speed.
Try to release your control. A lighter syllable releases your hands and arms and can help you gain some speed.
Another thing to see here is the size of your check. Switching to a medium syllable or dwarf can help relieve syllable pressure and can also help if you have any arthritis in your hands. As long as you can square the club through influence, the control is not too big.
Pull the leg a little bit
Narrow your attitude and discard your footprint back some inches. You can experiment with how far to remove your leg, but the goal is to open your hips a little and allow more twist. If your flexibility is not as it used to be, it can help encourage a better turn.
Many players over 60 feel like this movement helps them generate power correctly (without endangering damage).
Start with pressure on the lead leg, then move
Try starting your configuration with about 60 percent of your weight on the lead leg. As you swing back, move the pressure to the foot of the trail. If you notice that it is similar to throwing a ball, the weight is moved back to the back and forward.
This helps to generate a moment in shaking golf from front to back and then back in front. It builds a natural transition to landing without mechanics of overturning. It can also help you feel less rigid or rigid in the movements you make.
Think about your knees touching when you finish
If you are hanging with your weight on your foot track when you finish your golf swing, try thinking about going to a continuation where your knees are touched. It is a simple thought, but it really works if you are colliding, cutting or cutting the ball.
Work in balance without a club
Good balance in golf swing helps to increase energy and improve sequences and contact. Sometimes you can practice balance without the club in your hands holding a drug ball and swinging as if it were a golf club.
You will notice that this repetition helps you build strength and makes it easier to maintain your balance in a full blow. Try just five minutes a day with a drug ball, taking 10 to 20 shakes and see what you do.
Move up a tee (no guilt!)
Courses do not last longer; Your swing speed is not the same. And that’s completely good. Moving up a Tee box does not mean you are “worse”; It means you are smart enough to enjoy the game as it was thought to be played.
You will hit more greens, you will have more sights/birds and stop grinding par-4 long. The whole goal of golf is to be able to play it all your life and have fun doing it.
Final thoughts
Some players players reach 60 and are just getting the game while others have played for decades. Either way, making smart adjustments means that not only do you continue to reduce your result, but you can still enjoy the game when you are 90 years old.
