Open to anyone willing to read Hey, I am 70 years old, struggling with distance.

Open to anyone willing to read Hey, I am 70 years old, struggling with distance and of course consistency. Sadly I am not as flexible as I once was. Swing speed has gone from fair to dismal at best. I have been a member of yours for quite a while, seems like most of the content is for younger golfers who have great flexibility and quite good swing speeds. Despite the stuff I learn I bring it to the range and nothing changes , just the same old crappy swing with little power. Just wondering peer group if I am simply destined to play terrible golf for for the next 20 years or so :laugh: :shock:

Hello Greg. The system is designed for all players. In fact, flexibility is usually the last issue players struggle with in this system. There are many way to work with the anatomy to maximize potential. The older players get I usually see either lack of leg work, rotation, or lag. I would prioritize lag as you power source. If we can see your swing we will diagnose and easily design a program to start getting the MPH back in the swing.

Hi Greg, I feel your pain, though I surely hope that there is hope for us. I am not quite your age, but have started to see my own decline in strength and flexibility. With this said, I played with a gentleman this past weekend that at 73 was still getting 260 off the tee consistently. (pot bellied CPA) He had a nice smooth swing, was patient with it, and let his lower body do the work. He is a scratch golfer that can still shoot under his age. I don't know if us old dogs can learn the new tricks, but it is possible. Maybe see if you can find some one on one coaching. Good luck, and play well.
