Who Says You Can’t Play Better as You Get Older?
As we get older, it shouldn’t slow us down to
play this great sport, golf.
At BioForce, we feel you can even improve your
game as you get older. My dad played his best golf
in his 70’s. Even got his handicap in the single
digits, got his first and second hole-in-one. I can
remember him calling me saying he got his first hole
in one. He was so excited. Describing how the ball
disappeared. We had a great relationship, kidding a
lot. I even ribbed him saying the 130 yard
hole-in-one was a chip shot. He got me back a week
later. I answered the phone and he promptly told me
he got another one. This time it was 170 or 180 yard
par 3. Couldn’t argue that one…heck, I couldn’t
argue either, but we had fun talking about it.
You can enjoy golf as you age. You can hit the
ball further, straighter, and play well day in and
day out. Only if you do it methodically.
We feel the right way is with proper preparation
in every aspect your game. This means;
1. Continuing to improve the mechanics of your
golf swing through practice.
2. Continuing to receive instruction through a
qualified instructor.
3. Purchasing equipment that matches the
characteristics of your golf swing.
And probably the most important aspect of this
recipe as you age...
4. Training your body to support your golf
swing.
We are all continually fine tuning our swing.
Most amateurs start to lose it in the golf
fitness and training department.
As we get older, the body does not operate in the
same way as it used too.
The aging process reduces our FLEXIBILITY,
weakens our MUSCLES, and lowers our ability to crush
it down the fairway.
For you to have so-called good golf swing
mechanics, you must have a certain amount of
FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTH, and POWER from the muscles in
your body.
If your body lacks the minimum amounts in all of
these categories, your body will create
compensations in your golf swing. We’ve all seen
those guys on the range with the choppy, hacking
golf swing.
How do you combat the your body failing in your
golf game?
You’ve got to implement GOLF FITNESS TRAINING
into your golf program.
PGA and Champion Tour players understand this
concept. Why not the amateur?
Might I suggest taking a look at the exercises in
our manual Your Body & Your Swing.
If you are getting started in golf fitness and
are a little more mature than some of use, take a
look at our Ageless Golfer DVD. A great place to
start building more strength, flexibility, and
power.
So remember; the body does slow down as you get
older, you can become an Ageless Golfer. Implement
golf fitness training into your golf game and get
the most out of your swing. Be sure to drop us a
line if you get a hole-in-one. We’ll be sure to
recognize you to the rest of the BioForce Golf
family. I won’t even give you a bad time if it’s a
short one…..unless I get one!
Make It Happen!
