Senior Golf: Between Practice, Mechanics, and Score Impact
The category Training & Technique is the magazine's biggest — and for good reason. Anyone over 60 who still wants to improve their score needs to train deliberately: swing adjustments for decreasing mobility, practice drills with real score impact, short-game drills that yield more than range sessions. Every contribution is based on measurable effects — Strokes Gained, launch monitor, or concrete before-and-after data from practice.
The posts are in chronological order—the most recent at the top. With over 100 posts, this is the longest list in the magazine—those looking for something specific should use the search at the top or jump directly to the relevant topic. The pagination at the bottom of the page shows all posts step by step.
