Specially designed for golfers over fifty, from the nation's premier golf school. From the powerhouse author team that created Play Better Golf and Play Better Golf for Women comes a comprehensive new book for the rapidly growing population of senior golfers across America. Mike Adams, known throughout the country as the "Swing Doctor," T. J. Tomasi, and Kathryn Maloney share simple, ingenious techniques for developing a swing that the senior golfer's changing body will allow. The dynamic "Senior Swing" compensates for lost strength and flexibility and allows players to "put time back into the hourglass." Throughout the book, beautiful full-color stop-action photo sequences teach proper technique and reveal the swing mechanics of the great stars of the senior tour, such as Nicklaus, Floyd, Irwin, Trevino, Stockton, and Player. Special sections discuss selecting proper equipment, dealing with joint pain and decreased vision, keeping fit as a senior golfer, and, most importantly, putting all those years of golfing experience to the best use, especially against younger opponents. Play Better Golf for Seniors shows the path to success on the course to readers of any age.

Golf may be a sport you can enjoy from youth through AARP membership, but a 50-year-old man can't play the game the same way he did at 25. With a loss of flexibility comes a loss of power, and unless you adjust your swing, you'll lose accuracy, too. In response to the limitations that age brings, the authors of Play Better Golf have created the "S swing," a way of striking the ball accurately and powerfully with a shorter backswing. This short swing not only makes for lower and more consistent scores, it helps avoid back, shoulder, and elbow injuries caused by forcing your body to do things it is no longer able to do.
Many of the tips in the book have nothing to do with the swing. For example, golfers with arthritis in their hands are advised to wear padded weightlifting gloves instead of the standard golf glove. There's even a tip for players who wear bifocals (don't wear them on the golf course, since you'll have to change your swing to be able to see the ball; opt for distance-vision-only lenses).
Of course, much of the information--particularly the tips for chipping and putting--can be used by all golfers. But if you're the competitive sort, you might not want others (like your regular playing partners) to get their hands on this valuable guide. --Lou Schuler

Golf is an exemplary past time activity for anyone. It provides the exercise which the body needs to help improve flexibility and strength. As we age though, our body loses flexibility and diminishes in stamina no matter how much we try to delay it. Golf can still be a very good sport for the more advanced in age. It's great because golf can allow more senior golfers to make some adjustments in their game techniques in order to provide power and accuracy to keep up with younger golfers. The very first culprit that more senior golfers will face in golfing is fatigue. Low energy and tiredness sets in after a long drawn out game. Some adjustments you can make to help you last until the end: * Opt to drive around in the golf court instead of walking * Drink plenty of fluids * Use a longer club to give you more power but with lesser exertion. Practice frequently using a longer club so you can maintain and improve your control. Another problem that senior golfers face is loss of flexibility. You can improve shoulder flexibility by increasing the speed of your swing by means of shortening it into the shot and balancing it with the swiftness of your strike. By doing this, your shot will still have a good deal of power just like if it were a full swing. Senior golfers do not need to give up playing golf. With a few adjustments to their techniques they can easily improve their game and still compete with younger opponents.
