Nicely done... always simple but instructive. While I am not a senior golfer (only 72), I will work on implementing these three points and a stronger grip as soon as I get to the practice range. I feel that I do most of them now but I will be more aware when practicing. Thanks for the time and effort you put in making these videos.
@@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples Getting cooler her in Northern NY but I am playing as long as I can. Hope ti be back in Naples area in early January - but - we will have to see.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
Hi Mark. Well I strengthened my grip considerably based on your advice and what a difference. Still working on getting more hinge in my wrist but so far your senior tips are helping my game a lot. Thanks Mark.
Hey Mark, just subscribed and like the tips you're giving. I'm a 64 y/o retiree, THR both hips and avid golfer. Will watch your other videos and comment/ask questions. Always looking for ways to improve. Thanks.
Hi Hugh! I’m also right handed but play left handed. I like to talk about both hands and give my students the choice on which way they want to do it. I’ve noticed the dominant hand isn’t always the one the student chooses! Thanks for your comment!
Another great video Mark. Thanks for throwing in that reminder for a more closed club face going back and especially on the way down...as you know, one of my big bug-a-boos. Thanks for doing these videos and keep 'em comin' !! JOHN G
Absolutely wonderful instruction mark! I've always been aware of the first two items, but allowing the arms and wrists to soften (not collapse) at the top of the backswing is something I've always fought against because it doesn't "look good". I've experimented with it at the range and when I'm golfing alone, with some success, but when I play in my weekly golf league, I'm too self-conscious to do it. This year I think I'm going to give it a try.
Nice video Mark. Can take the phone to the range and employ these reminders. Can really identify with the last tip of the three: lengthening of the swing to get more clubhead speed. And it is a matter of personal control in keeping the clubhead in a place where i “know” what I can do with it rather than elongating it and taking the risk of hitting shots every which way.!!
It would be great to see your swings in slow motion so we could focus on different aspect. Such as the take away, turn, elbow position. Great video as always. Also, what effect does position your club in the palm of your hand versus the fingers, have on the golf swing.
Hey Joe! Thank you for your comment. I'll add some slo-mo's to future videos. In the fingers promotes more closing of the face. Also better for less tension.
Mark: Great video for us seniors!! I will work on all three things. Also, do you have a video on working with a flexible shaft training club such as the Gforce?
Hi Thomas! You can have as much or as little grip pressure as you want. The key is to have “greasy elbows” so there is no tension in the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints. This video will help: th-cam.com/video/l33BIkSunZk/w-d-xo.html. Thanks!
Hey Ron! Check out these two videos: th-cam.com/video/ccskB4LiWuI/w-d-xo.html; th-cam.com/video/_PxsrlP4twk/w-d-xo.html. They should both help with understanding a heel hit and how to correct. Thanks!

Thanks Bill! Always appreciate your comments. Keep working hard and let me know if you have any questions. Talk soon!

I look forward to seeing you! Stay safe!

@Colt Alexis instablaster ;)
Thank you for the simple and easy to follow instructions. I am a senior and really can't wait to get back out there to try this.
My pleasure, Valree! Glad you enjoyed the video. It’ll help!

My pleasure Gerry! I’m glad to hear the tips are helping! Keep working hard!
Another great and timely video Mark.
Thanks Bob! Appreciate your kind words!
Mark, one of your best videos ever for seniors. Very good.
Thanks Tom! Glad you enjoyed it.

Awesome! Anything I can do to help let me know
This is great stuff. I took it out to the range and the extra distance was noticeable! Cant wait to get on the course.
Thanks Bill! Glad it helped.
i play left handed my dominant hand is my right had so much advice on the role of my left hand, tucked in etc.

Awesome Bob! Trust what you trained and make it happen. Let me know how it goes!
Great video and content

Thanks Steve! Yes, it’s definitely within everyone’s personal range of comfort.

Thanks Don! I' don't as of yet but there is one coming soon.
Mark, how much grip pressure do you apply to the strong grip? Do you retain it through the relaxing of the extension?
Hi Thomas! You can have as much or as little grip pressure as you want. The key is to have “greasy elbows” so there is no tension in the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints. This video will help: th-cam.com/video/l33BIkSunZk/w-d-xo.html. Thanks!
Great Video Mark, since my lesson with you been doing much better. Is there an drill for hinging your wrist. I know I struggle with that. Thanks.
Hi John! Thank you for your comment. These videos should help: th-cam.com/video/ZmPKfNfGG3I/w-d-xo.html; th-cam.com/video/iprBjztVd9I/w-d-xo.html
Could you also do a video on how to avoid a shank? Thank you
Hey Ron! Check out these two videos: th-cam.com/video/ccskB4LiWuI/w-d-xo.html; th-cam.com/video/_PxsrlP4twk/w-d-xo.html.
They should both help with understanding a heel hit and how to correct. Thanks!
@@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples Great lesson as I took it to the driving range and it was amazing how sold I hit my shots. Thank you
@@ronjacobson5112 Thanks Ron! Glad it helped!
Jesus Christ, is there cliff notes for this video? 15 min video that should take about 6 min to provide instructions with some comments.
Thank you for your input! I'll try to do better going forward.
I’m sorry, I can’t handle you being left handed. It’s not you, it’s me.
I totally understand Lynn!
Download the video and view on VLC media player ....Which allows adjustments to speed and geometry....viz left to right handed
