THE BEST Senior DRIVER Swing for Elite Level Play and Competition

By Wayne | The Senior Swing , Videos: Swing Analysis , Videos: Wayne D's Swing

I’m 62 years old (2019) and have limited trunk mobility due to multiple back, elbow, foot and other surgeries from injuries during my long teaching and playing career. Most of the online instruction catering to senior golfers focuses on increasing the backswing arc by closing the stance and maximizing the backswing turn, while I go in the totally opposite direction by suggesting that the best swing technique for senior golfers still interested in competing who are coping with limited flexibility and continuing back pain is the open stance.

My short game and putting are coming around nicely, and my irons are getting better, as you will see in the swings here.
