So the older you get - or the less flexible you are - maybe you can't quite rotate your body as much either on the way back or on the way through. Are there some mechanical things you could do to increase the rotation relative to where you are? Absolutely. But are you as a 75 year old guy who works out once a week going to rotate like a 25 year old kid who works out every day and has a chiropractor and a trainer with them all the time on the PGA tour? Probably not.
If you just want to play the best you can with what you have, here’s what I would do. Number one is I wouldn't focus as much on trying to get the rotation in the forward swing. I would focus on getting the rotation during the back swing.
There are some things I can do to pre-set more rotation in the backswing. The first is stance. I would want to use the closed stance line where your right foot is a little bit farther back because I want to focus on at least getting a full turn on the way back. Second is foot flare. If I want more turn going back, I want to have the foot turned - or flared - out because that will help me turn the most. Third I want to have the ball position more back than normal.
Part number two of this now is going to be how the club and swing direction work. With the two stations I demonstrate in this video, I'm going to preset everything we do based on trying to get the club working in a draw pattern. If we're going to give up some of the body rotation in the follow through, we're going to preset a swing direction that works more from the inside. It’s going to exit more to the right, going to be a little bit higher than normal and maybe even have a little bit more arm rotation than normal. All of that is to maximize what you guys have.
You must maximize turn going back and you must maximize extension on the way through. We want to make your swing direction more inside out. The slower your club head speed, the more your swing direction should be inside out to maximize getting the ball up in the air high enough so you can hit it far enough to effectively play the course and have fun.

What a great video, simple and easy to follow and exactly what I have been feeling as I am closing in on 70. Not only do I understand it but the way it is set out it is easy to feel it, wonderful !!
Thanks, David! Hope it helps!
As an 82 year old golfer who has watched a myriad of RUclips videos on golf advice, this is the most helpful and practical blog I have seen. Thank you for this.
Appreciate it, William!
Its been 2 years, how are you? Can you still play?
Hail to the old people, I'm 64 Eric. This is a great example of what I gotta do to turn. I watched so many of your videos And this one is a big help, thank you bro
Appreciate ya Jerry---hope this one serves you well!
Wow! Your videos show that you truly understand senior golfers problems. I’m 73 and have had both knees replaced. One is really screwed up so these videos are amazingly helpful. Thanks for you great ideas.
Thanks, David! Appreciate the kind words...hope it helps!
Best video I've seen on this important topic. I've tried experimenting with this over the last few weeks but was keeping back foot squared. Also, was not playing ball back enough and ended up hitting behind the ball. Now it makes sense. Can't wait to try this out next time at the range. Thanks very much for an excellent video!
Thanks, Alan! My pleasure....will be doing more for senior golfers within the next few months!!
Thank you. This video is very helpful. My father needs to see this asap. He loves the game but is a bit concerned about his deminishing ability. Your instruction is excellent.
Appreciate it, John!
Eric,
This video is great. I am only 62, but have lower back problems so this works well. I am hitting the ball more consistently and longer especially with my Driver. The only problem seems to be with more lofted irons where i hit it thin sometimes. Thanks, keep these senior videos coming and I think I will play better and better
Appreciate it! Glad it helped!!
Great Video, not only for Seniors, but also for every weekend hacker with a tendency to slice it.
Thanks! Yes it is...
Golf is difficult enough but becomes even more challenging as we get older and lack flexibility. Your video is outstanding for us seniors to help maintain club head speed and maximize rotation! Thank you!!!
MY pleasure-Thanks, Rick!
I just love your dedication you give to us viewers and that you never ever degrade us armature golfers in what we are, your tuition is spot on and is much appreciated! Thank you so much for being who you are - a supper star!
Thanks, Alan! Glad you enjoyed the videos and I appreciate the kind remarks!
It would be nice if he referred to the many women golfers who also play a s seniors with limitations.
Hi r
Eric I watched your senior golf video last night. In the past i would try bringing he club inside and I would shank. I tried your setup today on the course and it was great. I hit some great shots thanks so much keep the seniorvideos coming.
Thanks, Alfred!
Exactly what I needed thank you so much , flaring both feet was my answer ,because of low back problems right foot could only go a inch back ,thanks again
Love it! Our pleasure, Jeffrey!
Great advice. Took a lesson once from a pro who wanted me to swing like a tour pro. He told me all of the pros get a lot of turn back and through. I agreed that they did, but then informed him I wasn't a golf pro. This is what all of us aging golfers aspiring to get better or maintain a decent handicap need to hear. Otherwise we're just going to hurt ourselves and drop out of the game altogether.
Gotta make the most of what ya got!
Been off 25 yrs and decided time to get back kicking ass. You my friend are EXCELLENT in your teaching Thank you for being here to guide me
MY pleasure my friend!
You are spot on in what you are saying about senior golfers as I have been having ups and downs with my swing till I realised I was picking the club up and not doing a full shoulder turn, I always have my right foot back at address which helps me to create a full back swing as you have shown and when I do I surprise myself in how far my drive go's! For a young man like yourself, you have great knowledge of us older guy's, so I take my hat off to you Sir! I played on Saturday there and made a full of myself, yet today I played like a low handicapper only because I used my shoulders on the back swing! I am playing tomorrow, lets hope I do not forget yesterdays swing lol! Many thanks for your input!
Thanks, Alan! Appreciate the kind words...I hope you continue to see some good results and are enjoying the game :)
Chris thanks for linking this to me. Since this has gotten 800,000+ views, I think it makes my point that a ton of golfers have figured out that they are physicially or athletically incapapable of producing a "modern" swing. Thanks again. Tony
great video, I also found with my bad back & hips shorting your stance also helps with the turn. Pretty much keep the same distance for all my shots. I know you think for the driver that's crazy, but believe me, I can get a better turn and most important, get through the ball and out to 1 o'clock for good straight drives. Works for me, I only hit my best drive 190 yds. Will never be able to take the club all the way back so straight beats distance in my case. Then I moved up one more tee, just so I can fully enjoy the game.
Thanks! That works!!
Eric, I want to thank you for this video. It has helped my golf game immensely. I’m a 71 year old golfer who has lost some range of motion due to lack of flexibility and an injury to my left(lead) foot. After practicing then applying you tips my last three scores have been 79,72,74. I’m hitting the ball farther and much more consistently. One adaptation I’ve made to avoid pain in my left foot during my follow through extension is to flare it out slightly. Maybe this will help some others with a similar problem. Thanks again for your help.
Love to hear that, Judy! Thanks for the message and the kind words! I hope you continue to enjoy your golf!
Thanks for your advise. it's matched the instruction from my golf teacher, and I been benefited from it. good job!
Appreciate it! Glad to hear that!
Love this video. You've packed a lot of valuable info in this video, all of which apply to me. Since I am one of those OLDER guys who is desperate to gain consistency and lost distance, this has lots of promise. I've just discovered your channel and can't wait to see more. Thanks
Thanks, Wayne! Hope the videos help!
Great information. I am 60 years old and lately, I've found that I had lost some distance and accuracy. I went out yesterday after viewing this video and tried the stance, flaring the right foot and putting the ball slightly back in my stance, and it worked very well. Greater distance, more accuracy at target. All-in-all shot a very good round (79). Thanks for the tips keep them coming.
Awesome! Thanks for the message Wellesley! Happy to hear it helped!
Watched this video last week and put it into action during our club completion last Saturday.
Definite increase in distance across all clubs, particularly the driver. Best result this year, fifth place with 69!
Thank you Eric you have given me some hope! Ray Rigby Mere Golf UK.
Love to hear that, Ray! Great playing!!
Hi Eric,
Thank you for the video your explanation is precise and simple to understand .
I have been using this stance and swing for the last couple of months, for a person like myself, (58 yrs old), who has had both hips and left knee replaced this "swing for seniors" is invaluable. It has taken stress out of my lower back and hips and due to this golf is again enjoyable to play. I had a session on TrackMan the other day at the range, in general all aspects of my game had improved the only thing coach didn't like was the early extension so I have forwarded him the video.
Once again many thanks for your video.
Cheers from Downunder.
Appreciate it my friend!
I'm glad to hear that!
Of course, as you mention, the early extension is the "risk" with this pattern but I think the pros are more than the cons for most people!
Just to tell you how much I appreciate your senior stance. Tried it and today, and it worked perfectly. Normal score is 78 to 80. 74 today with about 20 to 30 yards better. Not to bad for a guy 69. Thanks so much man.
Love to hear that! My pleasure my friend!
Per my earlier comment I promised that after I put this in play I would give you feedback. Although it’s still a work in process, I used these suggestions to get a bigger turn. OMG! My dispersion and distance improved a lot. I got my iron distances back and hit one drive on a par 5 that shocked my playing partners. Thanx again Eric.
Love to hear that, David!
Nicely presented. Have been using this setup for some years, as I am over 70; one thing that I would add, is to flair the front foot out a tad & it helps on the follow through..
Thanks, Bill! Agreed!
Good video, as a guy in his 70’s, your video almost to the tee what I have been working on to get some distance back. However, you did give me some good feedback. Well done.
Appreciate it!
finally a video targeted for seniors, what a blessing now this old dog will be able to stay up with the young pups can't wait for summer now
Hope it helps, Tim!!
I am 77 years young and have just seen your great video.However just today at the range I developed this same method of swing.With the stance closed a little I am able to make a full turn, also dipping a little down towards the ball with my left shoulder and I am achieving a slight push to the right causing a slight draw or as most of my shots were, hitting really straight shots. Great video and great advice. Also I maintain both arms close to the body on the back swing and through. Having had a lengthy break from golf I am really pleased with my emerging progress.and may it continue.I shall be going to your site on a regular basis and following your marvellous instructions.Thanks Eric.
Thanks for the message, Bob! I'm glad to hear you're heading in the right direction and I appreciate the kind words!
Eric, great video aimed at my age group. Now that you've confirmed my early extension is fine as is my impact wrist flip, I will work on those setup tips. I also feel many of your watchers are seniors and would like to see more senior videos. Thank you.
Thanks, John! You're right...we will work on doing more!
Rrt
Eric. The response to your senior video is overwhelmingly positive. We are out there!
:) You're right!
Excellent video thank you. I also turn my left foot in slightly to help with the turn
That works!
Excellent explanation of the truth of the situation that still allows those less physically fit to continue years of enjoyment. You continue to impress with new content that is helpful for the recreational golfer and students of the game. Thank You!
Thanks, Bourne!
Watched your video yesterday and tried it at the course today. I followed your advice, consciously moved my right foot back slightly and turned it out just a bit. The results were great. I found my drives consistently going 15-20 yards further and the crazy thing it made me aware of my follow through which somehow straightened out my slice. Every drive was down the center of the fairway. One small correction helped other aspects of the swing fall into place with gratifying results. Thanks for the info.
Excellent! Love to hear that, Stephen! Appreciate the kind words my friend!
About time someone explained it easier for us oldies, even though I am only 44 I have found this helpful especially with a tilted pelvis. Thankyou Eric
My pleasure my friend!
I have a double spinal fusion L4-S1 and was a scratch golfer when I was in my mid 30s but after seven back surgeries I could barely move. I’m 50 now and I have been hitting some balls and this video helped me with rotation. I was hitting an 8 iron 165. Thanks, and I will check your other videos.
Happy to hear that my friend!
Very very similar to Channel lock; but enough differences as well such more trail foot ball placement in CL and especially no body extension as you just demonstrated. Excellent presentation though and love your sincerity in helping us senior golfers.
Thanks, Thomas! Appreciate it!
Thanks Eric! Definitely going to give this a shot. I have a physical disability and can't raise arms above my head very much. So rotation is everything for distance in my swing. My backswing typically only gets the shaft to vertical/just past vertical. I've been trying to work the ball left to right more rather than the typical cut or fade (I'm left handed). Thanks for the video!
Hope it helps my friend!
Great video and I certainly will try with my irons. My question is regards the driver and rescues. Do you still place the ball a little back in your stance?
Well....
Back relative to your normal driver ball position
but not back in your stance
Just back relative to your normal....so still forward in stance but not as forward
very helpful..I am 72 and this a great tips for me. Thanks Eric
My pleasure!
Great video. Eric talks a lot of sense and so easy to understand. Many thanks , Eric. I will definitely check out your other videos. Cheers !!!
Thanks, James! Hope they help!
Excellent video. I made adjustments during my practice session today and it helps tremendously. Hooking ball a bit since I didn’t adjust ball position so will give that a go next time out. Also focused on tempo. Thanks again.
My pleasure! Glad to hear that!
Kudos for addressing the unique issues of senior golfers, although I think the category starts much younger than age 75. I also think seniors are the majority of your viewers. Another outstanding video; you are in a league of your own!
Thanks. Lol of course, I was just making an exaggerated example....I'm 30 and can't move like I used to.
I'm 62..being very active all my life mainly manual labor has helped me stay somewhat flexible. That being said I can never match what flexibility you have @ 30 something. I thought time wouldn't affect me ...I was wrong. The key is to stay active as best you can. Exercise at 62 comes harder than we imagine. Great video as usual Eric..
@@redhed9776 sounds like me but i got a few years on ya. good golfin to ya.
Best video I have seen in a while for 50+ age golfers like me.
Thanks, Kelly!
Great stuff! Thanks. Found you from 19th Hole/Swing U. Makes a lot of sense. Butch from Houston.
Thanks, Butch! Happy to have you here!!
I have been doing this lately and its helping my distance very much! Im only 47 and its really working for me. I was just trying to set up to hit big draws and noticed right away I was getting better carry yardage.
Love it!
Great video,very detailed and helpful,thank you.
Thanks, Russell!
Excellent,very clear & helpful video from a very good coach. Thank you.
Appreciate it, Alan! Thanks for watching my friend!
I'm a 65 y/o senior trying to find a few more yards. I started doing some of this on my own before seeing your video but need to move my right foot back a bit more and flare it as you show. I was once a big drawer of the golf ball but instructors tried to get me out of it by going more traditional. And I got away from a strong left hand grip but probably need to strengthen it a bit again. As one instructor once told me......golf is a game of consistent adjustments.
Definitely a game of constant adjustments! Gotta love it! Thanks for being here with us...hope you continue to enjoy your golf!
Great info I'm 57 years old and if have just returned to the game after several years off and my body has told me to set up this way to feel fluid if not I hit the ball left it was great to see your video to give me some reassurance
Yessir! My pleasure!
This is really helpful, thanks Eric
My pleasure, Gordon!
Sounds like a good for an older golfer like me. Thank.you.Eric. Will try Eric. Ray
Thanks for your tips, I like it a lot and will try to apply
My pleasure!
Thanks for this video. Feel a lot better about my "early extension" and flaring my feet after watching this. I'm 68 and I guess my body instinctively knew what I needed to do to generate club head speed in spite of what swing gurus might say.
:)
Great video. I am 72 years old and don't see enough golf videos for us seniors. Thanks.
Thanks! We will be doing more moving forward!
So glad I subscribed. Truly excellent golf instruction
Appreciate you being here!!
What a great video, thank you for taking the time to do this!
Our pleasure, David! Thanks for being with us
I’m 61 with a 7 handicap and lower back arthritis. On cold days in the Northeast I lose my full turn on the back 9. I will try this. Thanks. You are 1 of the best instructors.
Thanks, Scott! Hope it helps!
Wow, as a senior golfer, I'll be 60 in a couple of weeks, this is an eye opener. These are the things I've been doing intuitively, and that my instructor has been trying to "fix". Time to get back doing what came naturally.
Hope it helps, John!
Yep. I also have been confused by instruction when listening to your body's movement is easier.
looks and sounds like good advice for us older guys. thnx
Thanks, Steve!
Thanks Eric I sure needed your confirmation of the closing of the stance plus swing direction .
John.
My pleasure, John!
Great video Eric! I found this really works great for me having had 8 back surgeries and being fused as well. I lost a lot of flexibility and this really works for me! Thanks for the awesome tips!!
Love to hear it's helped Brian!! Our pleasure!
I am an oldie of 77 years.I haven,t played for some time now but visit the range once or twice a week to practice new things that I have seen on Utube videos.I have found that by withdrawing my trail foot and keeping my upper arms close to my body during the swing that I can make a full swing with good results.I also raise my left foot a little during the back swing and replace it to start my downswing.Also I have discovered how to "swing" the club through without trying to "hit at" the ball.I am still having some problems with my Driver but this is I am sure a mental thing and I hope to soon overcome this. Thanks for all your advice for Senior golfers it is much appreciated.Bob.
Love it, Bob! That sounds like a lot of things we would typically recommend so we are right in line!
Hey, a great vid for seniors. You fully understand how to make it easier for seniors to enjoy playing golf. For me, your advice about changing the standard stance to one which suits seniors. also, your tip on adjusting expectations to what seniors can do, are appreciated. I have experimented with different stances and I feel it works. ( it still takes me 15 strokes or more for a par 5, but this time, I'm pain free, and enjoying it.) Domo arigato....
Appreciate the kind words, Michael!
I’m 75 and reasonably flexible. I have always thought the follow through more important than the backswing. This video has changed my mind. Taking the trail foot back a bit has really opened up my swing and given me back some lost distance. I thought I would be pushing shots right but not so. I’m getting a much more solid strike and swinging like the old days! I feared pushing everything right but this has not happened. For me, a game changing video, thanks
Excellent! Glad to hear that, Gavin!
Thanks for the quick response and video Eric!!
Much appreciated!!!!
Will start working on this immediately!!!!
Hope it serves you well Jake!
I'm not a senior but with a lower back problem that's causing lack of flexibility I am very stoked to use this swing....Thank you very much
Hope it helps, Trevor and hope you back feels better!
Great Video helped my stance feel positive and gave me confidence to hit through the ball with 2 weak knees .
Thanks, Adrian!
Excellent instructions for saving your back and hips! I totally agree with these instructions from a physical therapist's point of view. I was instructed to use open stance after lumbar fusion, and tore my left gluteus medius and minimus muscles. Post hip repair, I adopted the closed stance to protect my back and forward hip. Now I am working on inside out swing, and can't wait to adopt early extension to gain loft and reduce my excess draw. By limiting excessive back extension and over rotation, I am also helping to reduce scoliosis. I like the entire package of instruction: It works great on driver and fairway; hopefully I can adopt the pattern to work with my irons.
Thanks, Lisa! Appreciate the kind words and confirmation on those pieces! I have seen these minor adjustments help a lot of people!
I hope it helps you enjoy your golf as well!
Really great well explained and helpful video. Please keep posting this type of content, so easy to understand and try. TY sir :)
Appreciate it my friend! Our pleasure!
I was forced to cancel my $395/yr. membership due to income limitations but watching this video has me second guessing that decision. I am a 76 year old Marine Corps veteran with back issues and this video which I saved long ago is extremely helpful. Thank you very much for your quality instruction and especially for the consideration to senior limitations. As always your instruction is concise and very clear.
Appreciate your support, Jack!👊
Hi Eric, sorry, this may be a long winded post. I first saw this video when it came out, two years ago. I'm 65 now and I noticed a big problem with my swing is that instead of turning my hips on the backswing, i tended to bump them to the right (a sway away from the target). I focused on kicking in my left knee, straightening my right leg and making a better turn. It worked, but it was hard to do consistently and I had to think about it a lot. And then I remembered this video and dropped my right foot back, flared it out and wow, it was so much easier to make that hip turn, now. So now I'm whacking myself in the head saying, "Why the heck didn't I listen to Eric earlier??". Thanks Eric :)
Lol--better late than never right bill?! Hope it continues to serve you well!
Great video, breaking it down to 2 or 3 components that make an immediate difference.
Appreciate it!
It would be great to see some slow motion of the drills you perform,Keep em coming. Love the way you teach!
Thanks, Joseph! Agreed-we will see if we can do some slow motion moving forward....we haven't really and we should.
You can go into settings (the cog wheel) and adjust the video speed manually...
Thanks, Mark Have been using it but would like talk over by Eric with some stop action. I Know I'm a greedy Bast&#d @@markfx12
Good to see an instructor teaching physical reality rather than the tour pro ideal. I'm a fan for sure.
Appreciate it!
Wow Eric I have been trying to swing with rotation this video makes a lot of sense that is my natural sent up and swing thanks
Brilliant way for seniors to swing. Well explained especially ball position for irons. Keep up the good work Eric thank you .
Thanks, David!
Thank you Eric about time somebody thought of us the older guys we do get neglected I used to be of 5 handicap now in my 70's its creeping up because I am getting shorter . great tip
Thanks, Alan! Will have more senior videos coming up!
.@@CogornoGolf Ps I am in the UK so you no
Great content, I also find myself "chopping" a bit more in this swing pattern, lifting the club a tad in the backswing, and it seems to add spin and therefore lots of carry. Make sense ?
Kind of....would probably have to see your swing to see what's actually happening compared to what you feel
Great Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you thought about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (just google it)? It is a good one off guide for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cooworker at very last got excellent results with it.
Hi Eric, thx for the video. I am 67 years old. I have been working through golfers elbow and left shoulder impingement. I will start to try your lessons for senior golfers. With this video I will be in fear of shanking the ball. I will try it out. Thx again :) Todd G.
Hope it helps my friend!
You are the only YOUNG golfer that realizes and explains how us older seniors need to play. It all falls apart at age 60.
:)
@@CogornoGolf I shot 79 today using your techniques. Can't wait to practice and play some more!
Love it!
You are incredible! I'm going to have my current golf instructor watch this as I keep telling him there are limitations when being 72 -- Hell I'm happy to have reached this age and now able to play golf with what my body is able to give me --- Great instruction, will be looking for more videos -- Thanks again!
Thanks, Dave! Thanks for being here!
Great video as always. Great observation about the early extension. Most instructors would never have said that. I've already got the extension built in, so I'm halfway there!
Thanks!!
Great video!!! As a PT with 20 years experience I have to say that Eric does a great job incorporating body mechanics and the typical age associated changes into a well-informed and pragmatic approach to swing adjustments for an older golfer.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words!
Let me know if you ever have any other suggestions for videos that may help people! Would be interested in your perspective to make things easier on people with the way they can/can't move.
This is great information. As a 70 year old, this is very helpful! Do you have a short game instruction video on chips and pitches within 40 yards for seniors?
Thanks, Michael!
Yes! Search my name and "chipping" and "wedges"
Great video Eric, This is the best video for me. 73 year old 10 HCP hit the ball straight or slight fade drive goes 210.. Really need to draw the ball to pick up distance. Clubs are fitted at 1/2 inch long 2 degrees upright works for my steep downswing.
Thanks! Hope it helps, Jim!
I'm nearing 70 and have some arthritis but your lesson has helped me keep going. 👍
Love it!
I live in the UK about 25 miles west of London. I play on a couple of local courses as much as I can and plan to keep going for some years yet.
Eric I'm 62years old and for the first time in years. I felt that full motion behind the ball with so little effort I hit the ball 50yards further than I have in years.because of better extension from your tips thank you
Love to hear that Rick!
Great stuff! I'm a senior golfer with a right hip replacement and knee arthritis. I'm going to work on this. Thanks!
Thanks! Hope it helps Ed!
Very helpful video Eric ! since i have some back pain problems, i hope this will help. in addition, as a wrong lefty, my tendancy is to use my right thumb as an accelerator instead of rolling my right hand. How to correct this? thank you for a suggestion
Hey!
Thanks for the kind words!
I would really have to see you swing to say for sure what you should or shouldn't do based on what you currently do.
Check out Cogornogolf.com if you cant get it sorted
There are hundreds of thousands, and maybe more, of golf videos on youtube, but I must say that without a doubt, your explanations and demonstrations are superior to anyone else out there. There may be other instructors who are as good (I haven't come across them yet), but no one out there is better than you.
I appreciate the my friend :)
I struggle with flexibility I’ve just stumbled across this video and I’ll be taking this to the range with me tomorrow great explanation of getting more turn on the backswing as this is where I have issues. Keep up the great work
Hope it serves you well Dan! Thank you!
@@CogornoGolf tried it out today I was striking the ball more consistently, I’ve tried all different kinds of things through all your videos and not many have worked but this …… wow even flaring my back foot helped significantly can’t thank you enough
Eric,
Absolutely fantastic including the previous video on turning. My problem is that I can do a reasonable turn and swing with the club, but when there is a ball to be hit, I freeze and focus on killing the ball and the turn is gone. Am I alone in this?
Nope thats normal.....solutions for that coming in next weeks practice video!
Great suggestions. Thank you
MY pleasure!
Terrific video Eric and excited to try these changes going forward. Thank you!!

Loved your video. I don't seem to have enough time during the swing to do the rotation bit. I'm absolutely going to try what you suggest. Arnie Markowitz-Canada

Thanks Timothy!
I am 75 and definitely have lost flexibility and distance. These points will help to deal with what I can do. Been working on improving the short game and putting since that is where I can pick up strokes based on after game analysis. Worth while video.
Thank you, John! Hope it serves you well!
Makes total sense to this 78 year old golfer. Thanks
Thanks, dave!
