How do Senior Tour players defy aging and maintain peak flexibility and performance playing weekly tournament golf. Many of these golfers are well past fifty years old and some even into their sixties. In this video you get answers right from the horse’s mouth.
TIPS ON THE GOLF GRIP AND ITS VARIATIONS.
Having the palms of the right and left hands opposing each other is a consistent fundamental with all good golf grips .
The position of the club handle as to where it is situated in relation to the fingers and palm of the left and right hands, or whether or not the little finger of the right hand is interlocked or overlapping the index finger of the left hand, can vary to suit the size of the players hands and fingers. Another option is all ten fingers gripping the club. This method is often chosen by seniors or ladies with smaller hands.
Where the club/grip is positioned in relation to the fingers and palms of each hand can affect control and distance. Recommended variations are nicely explained in the ‘A GAME GOLF’ video below.
Some degree of finger strength is needed for beginning and older golfers, or after a layoff. This strengthens up the tendons in the forearms especially . Having a golf ball or squash ball handy to squeeze on a regular basis can help with this.
Don’t under-estimate the importance of a sound golf grip. It’s the only connection between the club (the tool) and the Body (the machine). Any slippage or variation will greatly affect contact and ball flight.

HOW THE HIPS WORK.
Most senior golfers tend to want use their shoulders first on the down swing. Probably, this is because it feels like a great power source. This is much too early in the down swing for it to be effective however.
Start down by initiating a rotating hip action. This creates a path for the arms and the club so they can fall down into the “hit zone” (hands below the right hip). Check out Ben Hogan’s comments below on hip action.
Ben Hogan and Sam Snead are classic examples, time has proven their swing actions produced amazing golf well into their senior years. Take a look at Sam Snead’s perfect hip action and tempo from back in 1977 in the video below. All senior golfers might consider some work on maintaining their hip flexibility as they age, or be prepared to rapidly lose distance and accuracy through stiffness.
In the video below we thank Jim Hardy for explaining ways of generating more club head speed. This speed results in added distance. Learning good body rotation is paramount. Take a look at these exercises and start loosening up today.
Once the sequence of movement is explained senior golfers are ready to begin some drills.
In the video below we thank Robin Symes for explaining the down swing sequence and demonstrating a practice drill.
Hip and body rotation are required.
