3 Big Reasons Why Senior Golfers Never See Improvement
In this VLS Golf swing lesson, you’re about to learn the shocking truth about your senior golf swing and why it never improves. Plus you will get simple golf tips from Todd Kolb to fix each mistake that is holding your own swing back.
I already know all of this,because I watched countless hours of training video and I have been golfing for 53 years and yes I never improve. It is all about consistency getting the club precisely in the back side of the ball. I will hit maybe 10 or 15 perfect contact shots then all of a sudden I hit a chunk or a scull shot out of the blue. No amount of training can stop this except practice practice practice.
I started playing late in life and discovered that golf is not an easy game to learn, that’s why the pros start playing when they are young. There is so much to learn and remember, and you need to play a lot if you want to get better.
I would take Todd’s swing any day of the week. My problem is fighting the urge to lead the downswing with the shoulders. Wicked pull hook. If I could get the arms to drop in the slot without my right shoulder lunging at the ball I think my long game would be fixed.
As a 72 yo golfer, I can attest that myself and my senior friends aren't trying to improve! We get out here to enjoy the fresh air and exercise, not to improve our game. Sheesh!
A few years back I tore all the muscles loose from my left rotator cuff. I wasn't allowed to pick up a golf club for over a year. After that much time I forgot a lot about how to swing a golf club. I took lessons and every time the instructor never told where to put the ball, how to swing each club, how to hold the club, nothing. Every instructor told me the same thing and I've seen 4 different instructors. Hit the pw, hit the 9 iron, all the way up to driver and not once how. They just got paid. So now I put every ball in the center of my stance and swing the club. Don't know what distance I hit a club but I still play and haven't been able to find an instructor who cares
I read your book and have been slowly moving my swing more vertical. And rotating the way you teach. In my 70's now so I don't hit it far. One big area of improvement that I have been working on this past year is chipping. My chipping has really improved and proximity to the hole means more made putts. I think we have to take areas of improvement that our bodies make a bit easier as small victories. This fall or winter, I want to get fit as I believe I need a 5 or 9 wood and a couple more hybirds and fewer irons. Time will tell.
Thank you so much for the presentation of your excellent video it is much appreciated In South Africa i have learnt a lot from you And another point that helps me a lot is to practice keeping the head behind the ball until or just after impact one needs to practice this and after impact the head follows into the follow through Your video's and the head behind the ball at least makes my contact a lot better Thank you very much for your hard work and insight into the golf swing Best wishes arnie

i’m proof that following TK and putting in the work can transform your game.

I thought Donald Trump wrote the book the bad lie

We're getting " past it " 😂
Looks the same as any other golf swing.

This makes so much sense because RESTRICTING THE BODY TURN IS NOT NATURAL!
