This is a great example of how to play golf with a slow swing speed , excellent 😊😊
Keep it smooth!! Thanks for watching! -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
So many people can be encouraged by this. I am one of them. Bulging discs and arthritis and I’m still out there every week having fun. Thanks, Jimmy.
You make it look so easy and yet keep the fun in it … You’re fast becoming my inspirational TH-cam watch … thanks fella … 😊
glad its helping you. thanks for watching
I'm 65 and I appreciate you making this video. Thanks Jimmy!
Learn something from you every time I watch one of your videos. I am playing so much better because of it.
Jimmy you are giving back to your community and that is a great thing. Appreciate you man.
You're the best instructor, coach I've everer watched. Thanks for making golf fun again this old duffer.
How to play golf as a senior…Learn the single plain swing of Moe Norman taught by Tim Graves. “Period”
Well I just turned 76 and I'll in a few months I'm having Back Surgery. You give me hope. Yeah Baby.... So looking forward to get back to the course again.
A nice thing older guys can also utilize is "cheat" clubs to augment your excellent advice. For example, on that second shot on the first hole, many guys will use a 4-6 hybrid. Some might use a whole bag's worth, like those from the Eleven brand. Or there's the Cleveland, etc Halo Launcher type hybrid irons. Or a 13+ degree driver. Or a 7 wood. Or a (Cleveland) HyWood.
Jimmy, one other thing to perhaps address for the older guys is the huge slice so many seem resigned to playing. You see guys lining up toward the left field foul territory stands so that they can hopefully end up in center field. I've wondered if the huge outside-in swing is a physical limitations thing or just a long term swing thing that they simply accept. I have a friend like this. I say nothing because I don't want to really screw him up and he seem fine with it. It's like when Gene Wilder tells Marty Feldman ( in Young Frankenstein) that he might be able to do something about that hump and Marty replies "What hump"?
This could be your all-time best video!
Another good video. Thanks Jimmy.
Thanks for watching -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Thank you Jimmy, my swing speed has dropped and this video proves I don’t have to smash the ball. Love it. 😊
Love to hear it. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Hi Jimmy, Another brilliant video you are giving me so much confidence as I am in my mid 70s and I've only been playing for 18 months,👍👍
I'm 64...getting back into golf...it's been hard. You give me hope and you're tips make it fun. Thanks, Johnny T.
Keep playing Johnny!
Thanks Jimmy, this is the best golf video for senior I have ever seen. I am 82 years old. I started playing golf at age 62. I had two back surgeries and a knee surgery. This is the first time I have ever seen a golfer use the driver for 170 yards par 3. I am another person. When I played with young players. They probably laughed at me when I pulled out my driver for this distance par 3, I cared about my score not what I used. The result turned out good they probably stopped laughing at me. For years I couldn't hit any clubs that are longer than 7 iron. Since I studied, watched videos and practiced almost everyday now I can. I found your golf video early this year I really enjoy and learn a lot from your simple instruction. Not only that you are funny too, you made me laugh many time. Thanks again.
Hey I love to hear this. Glad youre enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching.
Great advice Jimmy. Now I have a request. My wife watches me watching your videos and every time I go to play she reminds me . "Remember what Jimmy said, keep the v, head down, butt to belly etc." In other words she doesn't play but has confidence that I am playing better because of your videos. Having said that if you could do me a solid and mention in your next video that what probably would help is a new set of clubs it would go a long way for me to get those new pings. Thanks Jimmy.
Jim, ill see how to fit in a shoutout. Thanks for watching. - Jimmy Tropicana tropicanagolfshop.com/collections/tropicana-merch
You are going back to the original golf before the professionals entered the scene. Play your game and have fun. I am 79 and having fun. A kid in high school said to me: I wish I could play like you when I am old. So, I got proper respect and had fun. Healthy to be out in the sun and associate with the younger guys.
there you go. swing smooth and have fun!
You are hitting it better than me with a full swing😢. Regards from Germany
Thats ok. Smooth it out!
Search videos by Brian Sparks, now deceased. Specialized in seniors.
We need to normalize playing from shorter tees. I played my course from the forward winter mats last week, shot 85. Played at the weekend from the normal tees, played "better" but shot 91
Hey Jimmy, Great video probably one of the best I've seen for seniors like myself 👍 keep in mind if I bogey every hole I still shoot 90 which if I'm correct 95% of all golfers can't break 100🤣 so awesome job.
Youre correct sir. Keep playing! Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
69 1/2, my mind says I can still swing like I'm twenty, and I can.
Kill it, killit, 150 yards out, 100 feet up, and, 100 yards out in the woods.
Ten handicap, played my first round last Wednesday without my driver?
Went from 43 to 48, down to 40?
What's up with that. Did NOT kill it, landed in the fairway.
I think we are onto something.
Thank you for sharing.
Jimmy, you just described my game. I gave up the driver, for a 3W. I don't hit fat, but much of the time I can get on the short grass. In place of the driver, I added a wedge. I now have a 52, 56, 60, and 68 degree collection . I am constantly pitching near the green. This video proves, smooth and easy does work.
Easy does it. Thanks for watching
Thank you Jimmy. Since watching your videos, I think I am playing smarter. I think about what you say. Just get the ball in the short grass. Get that first putt close. I am very happy if I get a 90. Had an 87 yesterday. No question, your lessons work. 👏
Thanks Jimmy. I’m learning a worry free shot from you.
I'm not a senior. I'm a 29 year old retired professional wrestler who doesn't have the best mobility from years of wear and tear on the back. Slow is smooth!
Thanks Jimmy. bogey is 90 which is pretty good for an older amateur to shoot for. ill try widening the stance.I've been hitting a 4iron off the tees from the forward tees and it has really increased the fun.
Most seniors or injured person doesnt have core and lower strength and flexability so enter the more arm (upper) swing. But i enjoy your style and approach
Jimmy can you cover the rule of 12 and how it works!!!
How far away do you stand from the ball ? And your grip? I been shooting 49 with you set up just still have few miss hits
How would you play from deep rough, the ball is sitting down low, around the green?
keeping it simple.....great job
I love your course. You show me how to relax and do right thing. Better course ever.
Genius!
I would you not play like this even if you are young or fully fit?
I'm a senior and the best way to play golf is Titos and Tonic.
Hahahahahahahaha. Not gonna disagree. Thanks for watching! -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Jimmy you are cool and the MAN!
Jimmy you are cool and the MAN!
80 % of most amature golfs can't hit Bogie golf.... Bogies a still good. Not great, but good.
And the ones that can't should embrace trying to play bogey golf instead of trying to play to par
Jimmy, another great video.
Thanks Bill!!
Great videos Jimmy. I struggle with gripping my clubs in a consistent manner. Could you do a video on this.
I will soon! Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Awesome
thanks for watching
Fun golf can’t happen as we get older until we dump our egos
Dang,this is a great video
There is NO POWER at all.How would the driver reach 200 yds?
You think theres no power. Thats where you’re mistaken. Power comes from less tension.
I wished I found your videos years ago
Me too. I spent a lot of years trying to figure out all this stuff. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Great video. Humbling
13:29 "Drive with your 7 iron"---Mr. 58 Jim Furyk
Jimmy, I love the videos! 35 handicap at age 59 here and I shot a 98 yesterday. Vast improvement for sure. Pulled out a driver twice because I had enough room to hit that I could not make a mistake. Don't have a 69 degree, but used my NEVER used 60 degree around the greens instead of my 7 iron and it works! Played slow and easy and I believe I am going to break 90 before the end of the summer! 3, 2, 1, Fire!
Whatever works Mark! Thanks for watching -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Thanks so much for this video! Im 71 full of arthritis and have had my lower back completely fused and I just had a left Knee Replacement. I am going to try this. Thank you so much for letting us know that we can still play, not like we used to but still have fun !!!
smooth it out
Good stuff, Jimmy. I would however like to point out that as we age, it's far more likely that the bottom half is where the issues arrive, not the top half. That's knees and hips, and why we get more 'handsy' in the swing.
Excellent video, Jimmy. Thank you for uploading. 🙂
Thanks for this, Jimmy. Just turned 76 last month, and I needed to hear this. A couple of years ago, I got tired of telling my playing partners what club I would've hit 25 years ago and trotting out my litany of excuses on the first tee, and I moved to the forward tees. No one wants to hear about the player you used to be, and no one cares what club you now hit from 140 yds. My back won''t let me beat balls on the range anymore, so I spend a lot of time on and around the practice green. I still shoot in the low 80s without too much effort.
Hello Jimmy, Just found your channel and enjoy the videos and hitting ball much better! You are an excellent Teacher and easy to connect with....thank you! I was standing up too much! Can you give us some pointers on how you personally grip the club? My Golf Buds hate my grip as my right hand is so dominant strong. Always had a weak left hand, left foot since a kid. Been gripping club with super strong grip since I was 13....64 now. I need the right hand to help the weak left! Been a boring 15 handicap all my life. I can't do the interlocking fingers as that has always felt way beyond too weird. I just do the pinky overlap. I think maybe of trying ten finger baseball grip. Thank you for your Teachings! Mitch in Cal
Did another round and after a triple bogey first hole; shot a 44. Everything started to go well as o showed all what I was trying to mimic your golf swing. Thanks
Keep it smooth paul. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Yes I been going smooth and everyone amazed how will i been playing just using my Irons. Thanks. Hopefully the end of scoring above 100@TropicanaEntertainment
I only play par 3, but on a tough little course. When I chunk my second chip, I think "Putt for par".Unless the ball is 5 yards from the fringe. I'm putting and stay out of more trouble that another bad chip can bring..
At 56 with an ailing (arthritis and a pinched nerve at L5-S1) back but still flexible it's difficult for me to slow my swing down. I've tried. I'm still in the mid to high 90's with the irons and in the 108-112 range with the driver.
I’m so glad someone finally made a video on this. Myself as well as most of the guys I play with are older and have issues. If I try to swing harder I often hit fat or miss hit. Your videos Jimmy are so helpful!
Jimmy
You’re a major……Guru🙏
appreciate you mike. Thanks for watching. - Jimmy Tropicana tropicanagolfshop.com/collections/tropicana-merch
Love your channel Jimmy you don't put people into positionsthey can't get into
Hi Jimmy, another great informative video, question: do you still play the ball back in
your stance with a wide base? Ron Pagliaro
I suffered from Frozen Shoulder a few years ago and couldn't play at all for 4 months. Once It eased off a little, this is the way I had to play for another couple of months. I moved up a set of tees, was hitting driver about 170-180, 7 irons about 125-130, but Hey, I was keeping the ball in play , lost balls and penalty shots were non-existent and I kept it moving towards the hole. I still managed to shoot in the 80's and was just thankful to be able to get out there again. It was fun.
Thx Jimmy, yes I'm 65, left rotator injury, arthritis in back and hands. Nice enjoy your youth, I'm still strong tho, need to tweak my swing.
Great video again!!
Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Of course this is a great demonstration of how to play senior golf. But what impresses me the most is your humanity. You really seem to care! Many thanks.
Thank you for the best advice in Golf!!!
It really gave me a better sense of perspective in the game.
There is HOPE for the love of the game of Golf
Thank you….
Jimmy, I haven't looked thru all your 799 videos all the way. Do have a tip on gripping the Club?
Great video Jimmy, I’m only 53, but my youth and failed attempt at being a professional bull rider really took its toll on my body. I try to keep up with the long hitters and pay for it for a couple days after every round, I’m going to try this thanks
Aloha I only hear your voice without watching video still I get positive attitude toward golf game. Amazing ha? TCB
We never see golfers in pants on the east coast. Is that a club rule?
Its a man rule. Shorts are for swimming, sleeping and working out.
A big thank you from a 78 yr. old who can only hit a driver 120yds. I watch all your tips and they work for me but this one could be the game changer and stop me thinking I can keep up with my son who is a scratch golfer. It's all in the mind thank you.
Jimmy this one of your best videos. I am in my early 70’s. I am going practice golf swing that you demonstrated in the video. Continue doing the great job that you do!!
I am a senior the key enjoy golf play more. Good video. Work on short game. For driver and woods just keep it in the fairway
Awesome, Jimmy. I love how you manage your game. It's incredibly cathartic to watch you navigate it. Your lessons are amazing because you simplify the complex.
2 months ago i shot 110 and was so down on golf. followed your method and shot a 92 today. I practice and played on a 9 hole course to get to where I am now. Thanks so much and i follow what you say and have not lost any distance
Love your content as always, and I hope you get your voice back soon!
Love your stuff- keep it going!!
Thx Jimmy I keep watching this video over again.
Love the 90's aesthetic
Classic is how I keep it.
Thank you for this jimmy
always interesting
Great video Jimmy.
This guy is great!
thank you,,,
great video . I'm a 70 year old and this is how I need to play instead of trying to keep up with the younger guys. Thanks again for all your videos.
Thank You Jimmy.. Yeah I guess I'm one Of The Luckier ones who is still fairly active and walk a bit usually every day. .the Thing Is I have not Played Golf for Many many Years and as I am now retired have found my love of golf again Thanks To you and this latest Video Is just up my street I'm sure that following your simple drill/sequence I will enjoy playing the game Once again...Problem I have Is that I want to get back where I was all those years ago and obviously realise that I am a Lot Older now and not as flexible or as Physically strong as i once was...although I want to play better So badly I am probably Trying Too hard to perhaps make up for Lost time.. having watched this video a couple of time I now realise that I can still really enjoy the game by playing within my Limits... as the saying goes the" Penny has dropped " really appreciate the Time Care and effort You take to Help Us Golf Nuts to make the best of what we have.👋👍
I use Jim Veneto's method, works great!! Im 63 years old. Hit a 120 yard 9 iron.
Another great video! Where has this practical, encouraging approach been all these years?! Fun & much appreciated. Keep up this great work.🏌️♂️
