HOW TO CHOOSE A SENIOR GOLF SCHOOL

Many golfers want to know how they can get the best learning experience for their money. They often like to plan a vacation around the golf school. Here are some questions you may want to ask as you consider a golf school:

Will the instruction be catered to my personal goals and learning style?

The last thing you want is to be stuck in some cookie cutter program that is just somebody's teaching system. You want to make sure that there will be individualized attention that helps you reach your own goals.

Better golf schools will have some type of an intake session where the instructor will consider your personal goals, evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, then structure a plan of action to help you achieve your desired outcome. Your instructor can then work out a practice plan to create improved, long-term results.

Video analysis can be highly effective in this process. It can be helpful for you to see before and after images of your golf swing so you can see specifically what you need to work on. Better instructors will use this to evaluate your swing.

You may also want to find an instructor whose teaching philosophy matches with your learning style. You may want to find out who his favorite golf authors are. You may also want to ask if the instruction will deal more with swing mechanics or the mental aspects of the game.

What is the experience of the golf instructors? Do they teach full-time?

Would you let your family doctor do brain surgery on you? Most likely you'd prefer a surgeon who is a specialist in brains. It stands to reason that if you're doing something full time, all the time, your skill and ability level is much higher.

Veteran golf instructors are likely to recognize your problem areas faster. They are able to quickly and effectively communicate a solution for you. They will focus on the things that are going to make a difference right away. They will give you a practice plan that will allow you to have significant breakthroughs in your game.

How many students will each instructor work with?

A low student-to-instructor ratio (2-to-1 or less) is best. This will ensure that you get enough individual attention as you are learning. Having an instructor work closely with you will help you stay on track as you practice new drills and exercises and not slip back into old bad habits.

Ideally, it's best to work with the same instructor for the entire duration of the golf school. This allows the golf professional to get to know you and customize a learning program for your individual needs.

Will I get to play golf as a part of the program? Does the instructor give training on-course?

Taking what you learn on the range and applying it to the course is an integral part of any great learning program. Having an instructor work with you as you play on the course is a very important part of the learning process. You may have some mental barriers that are keeping you from reaching your potential these may not show up until you are faced with the pressures of playing. Your instructor can also show you how to strategically play the best percentage shots for your level of ability.

What are the facilities and location like? What is the weather typically like?

You will want to have a first class facility that has a good practice range with real grass, putting greens and short game area. It is good to have a facility that can accommodate indoor practice in case of inclement weather. Choose a golf school that is likely to be warm and have plenty of sunshine when you go.

Many of the better training facilities will integrate video instruction as a part of their program. The best video swing analysis programs presently available is V1.

Seniors can enjoy golf in there 70's 80's and even there 90's

By Mitchell Crum • August 10, 2018

Only few sports in the world allow people to enjoy throughout their entire life, and golf is one of them. But when a golfer is getting older, she should develop some new goals, for example, shooting her age. Although golf doesn’t produce too much wear and tear on your body when compared with other sports, it is very important to maintain in a relatively good physical condition. If you can apply a daily walk or a good stretching program, you should be able to keep in health and continue to play golf until your 70s, 80s or even 90s.

1. Stretch your body before games.

Apply some stretching could effectively prevent injury that might set you back from months to years. If you live in a cool climate during winter times, it really is a good idea to do some stretching to maintain yourself in shape. A good fitness or stretching program also contribute to increased distance for your golf shots.

2. Maintain a smooth tempo and good balance.

If you maintain a smooth tempo, you will have a good balance during your swing. Better balance in swing results in better golf shots. Both good tempo and good balance contribute to a solid finish, where a golfer is flat on the left foot as well as on the right toe. Your body should turn towards your target with the belt buckle pointing to the target on the follow-through.

3. Work on proper swing fundamentals continuously.

It is very natural to lose distance and flexibility for senior golfers, however, if he can maintain or even improve his swing fundamentals, he might have the chance to not see a dramatic loss in distance. So, please continue your ball striking practices.

4. Get suitable equipment for senior players.

You should make sure that your equipment is suitable for senior golf players. Compared with steel shafts, graphite shafts are much lighter and it allows for faster swing speed, which leads to longer distance. Additionally, opt for oversize grips, which can produce a softer feel or your hands. The softer feel is beneficial for those who suffer from arthritis in hands.

5. Play a short game.

Play a short game, but a good one. The short but good game becomes important when you starts to lose your distance with full swings.
