Golf Swing for Seniors

photo credit: diskychick   As we grow older, our muscles  lose their elasticity.  Over-stretched muscles can create injuries and result in a loss of swing power.  Other than exercise there are other things that can be done during the swing itself:

A.  Wrist-break -  On the backswing, once your club is about one foot from the ball, start breaking your wrists.  B.  Ball Position – Play the ball off your left heel on drives and catch it on the upswing for greater height and distance.  C.  Don’t Sway – Make a full turn on the way back but don’t sway.  D.  Solid Left Side – Maintain a solid left side by maintaining sufficient weight on your left leg during the swing.  E.  Release - turn your wrists over through impact for maximum distance and accuracy.
