Best STRETCHING EXERCISES For SENIOR GOLFERS

Aussie Golf Pros draw on their experiences to bring you the best golf specific stretching exercises for senior golfers over 50. To be the best golfer you can be, it’s important to prepare the body, so you can meet the physical challenges of hitting a golf ball. This is true for golfers of all ages but particularly relevant for senior golfers. As you pass 50 years of age, if you neglect to invest some time in your flexibility and mobility, then your golf swing will likely suffer as a result.
Typical swing characteristics, which might become evident in your golf swing include early extension, flipping, over the top transition and poor balance, to name just a few. Injuries will also become more common as your flexibility deteriorates. The good news is, even as you approach your senior years, you can still maintain and even improve your mobility.
Stretching should be carried out after warming up and not before. Warmer muscles are much more responsive to stretching and cold muscles can be easily injured. Begin with a jog or even a brisk walk, to increase the heart rate and blood flow throughout the body. It’s a good idea to stretch after every round of golf too, rather than just sit down and relax.
We would like to thank Dr Greg Rose and Dave Phillips of TPI for their expertise and training.

Best all around golf stretching program; especially shoulder.

[@AussieGolfPros]

Appreciate your feedback Greg! Thank you. 🙏

[@MichaelPMcLaughlinSr]

I didn't realize how inflexible I was until I went through these stretching routines. Very Helpful!

[@AussieGolfPros]

Get stuck in Michael. You’ll improve, little by little!

[@alangoudie2299]

Thank you Glen for some excellent exercises. I hope I will make the effort to actually do them regularly.
I am 80 years old & would benefit from doing them daily.
I will now watch your warm up routine .
I appreciate your informative videos which should really help the club golfer.

[@AussieGolfPros]

Thanks Alan. We look forward to hearing how you go with the stretching. 🙏

Hi Glen, I'm 66 and sometimes feel sorenes after (or during a round.) Thanks for the vid. Very useful. ⛳️

[@AussieGolfPros]

Thank you Robert. We hope these stretches after your golf can help. 🙏

[@johnschwartz1536]

This is an excellent video Glen for senior golfers where you recommend excercise to do after a round of golf! I have a routine of exercises that I do with the exercise ball and floor prior to playing golf, but none such as these for after the round I will definitely archive this valuable piece of information for future use! Well Done Glen!

[@AussieGolfPros]

Appreciate your comments John.
You’re absolutely right. This is an often neglected aspect of physical preparation.

[@marianboudreau1337]

I was not able to find the PDF for this routine and I would love to have it. Can you help with a direct link? Thank you.

[@AussieGolfPros]

Hi Marian
Thank you for your inquiry.
The Training Guide is there within the ‘Library’.
We changed the thumbnail for this video, which is why you probably can’t find it. Our apologies.
We’re in the process of reorganising the training guides, so they’re easier to find.
In the meantime, look for the heading: ‘Move It Old Man’ 😜
Hope this helps.
Cheers

[@marianboudreau1337]

@@AussieGolfPros Thanks so much. I will definitely check that out.

[@AussieGolfPros]

🙏

[@0hleg]

Would the stretches be different for anyone younger?

[@AussieGolfPros]

Thank you for your question @0hleg.
Essentially, these stretches are beneficial for every golfer. Ideally, obtain a screening with a TPI Certified Golf Professional and have him/her design a bespoke mobility program, based on your personal results.
Cheers
Glen

If I could get in those positions, I wouldn't need the stretches.

[@AussieGolfPros]

Thank you for reaching out David.
Start with the stretches slowly and within your capabilities. You will gradually improve your range of motion each session. Consistency is key.
