Great vid. I’m fed up watching TH-cam instructors who teach what tour players do. For those of us who haven’t time to do much practice and who have less mobility than we used to have we have no chance of replicating what they teach. I like the way you cater for golfers at all levels.
Danny, I Can’t tell you how happy this video has made me. I’m 78 with a hip replacement and a shed load of injuries and consequently a serious loss of club head speed. My irons are 63 mph and my driver 75 mph. I tried this type of release and my club speed increased by over 10 mph, but was told by a golf pro to stop doing it as it was too handsy, and it would be better if I just stuck to my short punt down the middle. It may look better and be more accurate, but it sure isn’t fun hitting five irons when everybody else is hitting pitching wedges. You’ve really inspired my and I’m off to the front lawn to try it out and annoy the neighbours at the same time. 😀 Looking forward to your next senior video.
This is by far the most helpful golf video I have ever watched. Following Danny's simple method has restored my golf to winning ways - my playing partners are amazed. Swing "through" the ball is so so important and these exercises have got me back to the simple formula for success. Totally brilliant and yet the method is so easy to follow.
This video is the best you have ever done. I saw the very elderly gent with his short swing and thought I will try that. It worked. It’s not so much not being able to turn into a backswing as being able to get back down again and remain on track. Many thanks. I am getting 140 yards out of a wedge and hitting it straight. I used to be all over the place. BH.
Thanks Danny. You have a unique way of teaching. You are the best instructor on the internet. I wish I had in person access to your teaching. However, you make golf so real from thousands of miles away.
Thank you so much! I'm a retired cop only in my 50's but a little beat up from 15 years of SWAT, your tips and drills have really have helped play with a lot less pain!!! I can't hit a 7 iron 175 any more, but I'll take 145 pain free and straight any day!!!
Danny, Im recently turned 55 and my mobility is starting to fade a bit. I will hit the range and give these a try. Another great video from TH-cam's best teacher.
You are by far the best instructor on the web. Love your enthusiasm and technique. I'm getting back into golf after 3 years of being off. Back issues last 2 yrs.
@@DanielMaude all your videos are great. I try to swing carefree and that's when I hit them far and straight. As you mention on many of your videos swing freely.
Danny. Imo, you're the best. Down to earth, real. I tell MY golf students off they're going to follow someone to follow YOU. Thanks for the information! :)
Danny does it again! Danny, you are awesome. So upbeat, so sympathetic to us older golfers, so helpful. Just watched this video and started right away to hit the ball effortlessly and with power. Moving that right foot back a step helped me a ton with using the hip to engage the ball. The ball was flying off the club face. Thank you!!
I wish I got this lesson years ago. Ive spent years trying to time the open roll over to close head golf swing. My handicap is 10 but it requires lots of practice and this tennis racket swing is so much easier and I am hitting the ball longer and very solid for 2 weeks now and I feel like a much more athletic golfer even at age 78. granted I used to hit it further when I was younger. I was blaming too many things on my age, and doing a lot of shoving. I love this and I can't thank you enough. I also liked the video of keeping your lower body more relaxed and not stiff and tense. I've had 3 back surgeries and 2 knee replacements and I'm shooting in the low to middle and high 80s if the putting is off, thanks to you!!
Danny I was having a hard time yesterday with my right shoulder pushing out on the downswing. I also overrated my forearms which caused multiple problems. Thanks God your email came today. I rehearsed the racquet motion and I instantly sating hitting it straight again. Your a genius! Keep up the great tips!
More sound advice from the best instructional channel out there - thank you Danny. It wasn’t until I took up golf last year that I realised I had some mobility issues - namely shoulder restrictions following falls on my mountain bike years ago. Your “seniors” videos have been a great inspiration and aid to me finding work arounds to limitations and just getting a bit older. Please keep up the good work - it’s really appreciated!
Really appreciate you allocating your time for us "oldies". I am an Easiest Swing devotee and know you have included some of these methods into your videos. Like Brian and his coaches you make things easier for us like this video.Also am an avid fan of OMP and cannot believe he can replicate his swing shot after shot. But then he has been playing for 70 years. Keep them coming Danny you are helping so many of us.Keep Well and Keep Safe.
Cheers again Dan, I'm sure I speak for everyone - really appreciate all the instruction you put out especially in these difficult times - has kept our Chins up, mate ! 👍👍
Thank you Danny, I'm a U.S. Marine Veteran (60 y/o) with two titanium replacement hips/arthritic back & knees (yes I know I'm a mess Lol) but I love getting out on the course with my sons or friends. Your video is amazing for us seniors...can't wait to hit the range and run through your drills and then take the knowledge out on the course. I'm through "trying" to swing like Dustin Johnson and now look forward to becoming a slightly younger version of "Old Man" Pat. I'll take 150 yards straight any day vs. always playing out of the woods or rough. Much appreciated Danny.
Great video Danny. Thanks for the helpful tips for guys my age (70+). We make up a good percentage of every club's membership and love the game. One size does not fit all and one golf swing is not for all golfers. Enjoy your videos every week.
Morning Danny. Loved this video i feel at 57 years old I'm rapidly coming to the stage where this will soon be very useful for me if not already. OMP gives us all hope for golf in our later years. It also helps him that he has an unbelievable short game. It gladdens me that you and Liam are mates two of the nicest guys on youtube. Thanks as always Danny, have a great weekend. Off for a round tomorrow, weather is going to be cracking, wahoo
Hi Danny . After being isolated for the last eight weeks during which I have been following your videos and practicing your drills using only the foam balls as our garden is small. I played my first round yesterday and it all worked so well thank you so much . Not able to take a full divot yet but brushing the grass and making the contact to ball first. Will keep watching as always want to improve . Senior golfer 71.
I have take thousands of dollars worth of pro golf lessons with pretty good improvement but only to a good duffer level. Danny’s video on rotation completely corrected my swing so that I can now make a good run at par golf. Thanks Danny you are the best instructor there is.
Thanks Danny, like most folk I haven't been getting any golf in for the last 7 weeks but I have been watching your videos - especially the seniors golf swing instructions and on my first day back this Wednesday I managed to hit the longest straightest drives for years! I had developed an "armsy" swing with my right shoulder leading the downswing that produced weak fading shots off the tee, my new "one piece" swing is hitting the ball 20 - 30 yards further with NO FADE! Off 23 at present but confident this will come down quickly in the next few months, love your simple approach and it really worked for me - looking forward to a one to one instruction with you next time I'm in the Canterbury area.
Thank you for your videos showing the proper swing techniques to hit the ball better, further and straighter than ever before. I subscribed to your channel a couple of months ago and have lowered my handicap down from 24 to 18 with your guidance. I've played the game for 25 years and I'm hitting the ball better at 70 years old than I ever had. Keeo these videos coming please!
I have really been helped by you so much. I’m hitting the ball solid again with fairly good consistency. I’m 73. Have had two rotary cup surgery so when your lesson on dropping your right foot back and flaring to the right and the backswing by hinging ( tennis racket) and swing from the inside and finish high ( between your head and your shoulder) I have been hitting the ball with a draw and have gain distance with every club. That method allows you to really get a big turn with no stress and yes dropping the right foot does start the downswing properly which allows you to so easily throw the club down and create speed. I love your teaching in chipping, pitching , bunker play and driving the ball. But this one seems so different?? What I’m seeing here is “dance to golf “which puts so much motion in the swing it’s a timing night mare. Other teachers have been teaching this to seniors and but it just has so many moving parts compared to the first method. Signed confessed.
Love how you brought clips of Old Man Pete as he is an inspiration. The pointers play well into what I deal with on every swing - not enough rotation on the downswing, staying weight back. The reason why I do is simple - I don't have left (lead) foot stability to make the swing transition without having pain in my left foot due to the injuries sustained in '16. The pointers here will help me overcome that issue. Thanks for providing great info that the average golfer can use to improve their game while keeping it fun and challenging.
As always you produce excellent instruction and tips to help everyone of any age. There is so much to be gained each week from watching & listening to you. You are so helpful.
Hi Danny, I am a senior woman golfer (age 74) with two rods and 6 screws in my back. Thanks to your videos for seniors, I still enjoy a 19 handicap! Not as good as a "young un" but fairly respectable.THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Played my first game after almost 8 weeks yesterday, was a stiff as a plank before it. As the game went on, golf itself loosened me up no end. God I have missed playing; resting is not good good for anyone. You have to keep on moving. Plenty of time to rest when you're dead (and at the age of 69 I can't have too much time left...) Thanks Danny, once again a great video. Nice of you to think of us old duffers...
Thanks for the video, I'm a 67 year old golfer with reasonable mobility, but that tennis racket drill really helped. I'm a 19 handicapper, but went out today and played to 12, missed a few short putts as well.!! I think that I can do even better wit a bit more practise. Incidentally followed OMP and Liam for ages, so much fun to watch.
Jeez Danny, just class, as usual. It’s 8:20 here in France on a beautiful sunny morning and I am about to leave for my first round in 10 weeks since lockdown. I’m always worried about my back, damaged in an accident many years ago, but this video has already added a spring to my step and I havent even left the house. Good man Danny Maude.
Hi Danny, really like this video , I agree with the other comments guys have put on, in that method does not have to be based on Tour Pro swings which probably accounts for 0.001% of all golfers. At 63 I have a sore back due to slipped discs 10 years ago. In 2005 I was off 6.3 Hcp now drifted out to 18.9 The back is fine for the first 1-12 holes but then stiffens up gradually so by 17-18 I am struggling sometimes to hit the ball at all, let alone T Shots and Fairways, and after 20+ Rounds there is a pattern where my scores gradually worsen later in the round. Tried softer shafts and slowing my tempo but that loses me a lot of distance and control. Have tried this method and it works 100%. Now in my favourites and I watch all of your videos!
Danny I'm 78 years old and have been using a single plane swing last few years and found it takes pressure of back. Suggest a video on single plane swing.
Danny for some years now I have played an eight or seven Iron with the wrists as a low punch shot into the green if needed. I'm sixty five now and still have a good bit of flexibility. O M P is a great example of this and as you say playing off 10 or is it 11 he has got it down to a fine art. Thanks for the lesson Danny all great stuff.
Great coaching for the senior golfer like myself. Also not forcing shots keeps it straighter most of the time. Keep the great videos coming Danny & stay safe 👍
Great one Danny. I’m turning 59 in July and although I don’t feel a senior and I’m still quite flexible I see how I can benefit from this lesson. I’m following Liam and the golfmates and have to admit that I’m stunned when I see how good OMP is playing. He’s giving guys that could be his son or even grandson a run for their money. Love how you teach “around” limitations because imo that’s what a good pro should do. I mean you can try an teach me how to swing it like Rory but after that I would probably spend my time at the fysio in stead of on the course!
Thx Danny. Great video and it has made a huge difference for me. I spent the lockdown in my garden practising to your vids with airflow balls. Since I got back on the course my shots have been longer, straighter and I have shot my best ever scores . With a 21 hcp I was struggling to keep up with before, I scored 13 and 16 over on my last 2 outings. The key for me was your description here of weight transfer - once I got that my swing felt almost automatic for the first time. Now I just need to keep it up.
And the improvement continues. More PBs and cut now to an 18 hcp. I need to keep working at it but this video helps me to relax and get the timing ( not too fast) and feel in my swing right. When I do I am so much more consistent. Thx again Danny
Great stuff Danny, I’m 62 and an above knee amputee. I’ve had to work out a system that works for me. Stretching and flexibility are so important. I use elastic straps and a swing training aid before every round. These techniques are in valuable, what us older golfers can lack in raw power we can make up in accuracy and finesse. I play off 14.
Hey Danny. What a great lesson! OMP - champion! I'm only 68, but have chronic back pain and was considering the possibility of not being able to play. After watching your video, and another of OMP I tried implementing the modified swing during a round with mates, and couldn't believe the difference - virtually painless throughout and after the game, without a considerable loss of distance - it'll do me. Murray from down under.
My varifocal glasses are a necessity but do cause problems as I am aware that I am looking down at the ball and my chin is geting more towards my chest and affecting my mobility and swing. I am definately going to try your drill and hope it works. Glad I can now say that I can try it on the course this afternoon !! Stay safe
Back golfing Danny on tue after 9 weeks. Have watched so many golf videos I’ll probably just fall over trying to hit the first ball . OMP and the golfmates are legends btw. Great video again . Look forward to every Saturday MAUDEING. Cheers
Great video Danny, OMP is a genius. Notice that his right foot is slightly behind the left when he swings, and he bends his left arm. All seniors, including me, can learn a lot from Pat. Keep up the good work.
Great video again Danny. I watch OMP and he always operates like a well oiled machine with his actions. Like the way you accommodate us more senior players with easy to follow routines. (Glad to see you back on the course)
Thank you Danny, as always, very detailed and wonderfully delivered tutorial. After my morning coffee, it's your latest video on the schedule. Makes my day!
Great video I have really bad back issues in my lower had my last back op in February I am really struggling with my swing. My coach at the moment doesn't realise how bad my back is all he get on about is Rory and tries to make me swing like him which is causing me several problems with pain. I am definitely going to find a different coach. I will definitely take your tips to the range and practice them in the mean time,becaus at the moment I am so close to giving the game up for good. Anyway great video brilliant tips keep up the good work.
Danny another brilliant video. Excellent video to watch as I’m heading off to play my first round of golf after 11 months off danny thank you. Being a senior golfer and a little stuff these days. I’ve been working on a swing to the one similar to what you’re just showing us. You have to love OMP the fairway finder.👍⛳️🏌️🇨🇦
I’m a golf mate as well I hope that was OMP love to watch Liams videos as well the good ones are him and OMP and OMP can putt thanks Danny for all you do
Danny, I like the senior stance and I have adopted your technique. I am a right handed golfer and use the stance because I wear a prosthesis on my left leg and I am unable to transfer my weight to my left leg on my follow thru. I am having problems aligning my stance (body) to the target. Great video.
I watch a variety of golf videos - you are one of my favorites instructors. This particular video got me wondering WHO is actually watching golf TH-cam videos? Some instructors do show giving lessons - but the student is almost always very young, athletic, and practicing a lot. But my guess this is not the predominate demographic watching golf videos. More likely it is someone is who is a bit older, who doesn't possess the highest skill level - or flexibility and doesn't have the time or energy to practice every day. You are actually rare amongst the most popular instructors in addressing this group (me). Most instruction is simply watching a very good player promoting their particular swing theory and techniques. And while they make sense - and it looks like he/she can certainly execute them well - they simply do not help the average golfer actually get better. I would suggest (as you have in this video) that instructors who are looking to build their channels target the people who are actually watching.
OMP! OMP! So glad to see you and Liam collaborating, I have followed you both and have a personal friendship with Liam. Hoping to meet you maybe next year in the UK!
Thanks Danny. I am over 65 and an ex front row forward. I followed a "Guru" who said he promoted a pain free swing. I ended up with a back injury thanks to him. I would be interested to know what your thoughts are on the takeaway for us with less mobility. The backward bend of the right wrists tends to get you swing on a better plane.
I think if you start with generating speed first by mobilising the wrists it’s a great starting point. The swing naturally becomes less wristy when the arms come in to the swing and then the rest of the body. Basically the less you can move the bigger muscles the more you have to move the smaller ones
Great Danny. As an elder lemon , this is right in my zone. Still pretty mobile but can’t get the club to parallel at the top.. this can put the swoosh back as Padraig says. Declan
I went and hit a few of those plastic practise wiffle/ golf ball things around the backyard with a 7 iron before, using your tips and was swingin pretty well and making good contact. If I can hit a real ball that well I'll be happy. I had it all wrong and was bring my right foot out further toward the ball to try and open my stance in an attempt to try and put less pressure on my back by having the hip turn part way completed but it was probably having the exact opposite effect of what I was trying to achieve (pretty standard for me lol) and probably made my slice worse to boot lol. Thanks for the tips :-)
My course closed completely 2months ago. The few times I've played since my swing has been erratic and stiff. Last week I wanted to quit golf forever, shot 107 as a 14hc. This video makes me think there is a chance. Thanks from a stiff old guy.
Great information. Just discovered you today and the idea of building speed at the bottom is great. Can’t wait to try the drill and get some more speed with my bad back.
Another great video lesson. Your lessons have helped me become more consistent which enables me to attack each hole with a plan. Age has cost me some distance though and I need to hit it farther to get to the next level. Hard to make pars with long irons and hybrids. Adding yards off the tee and adding some yards with my irons will help immensely!
Great that you do so much for seniors ! And practice plans are super invention. When do you go back into the fairway or greenside bunker again ? Or club choice in bump and run chipping (flight vs roll rule) now we can see the ball roll on the green again....
Great vid. I’m fed up watching TH-cam instructors who teach what tour players do. For those of us who haven’t time to do much practice and who have less mobility than we used to have we have no chance of replicating what they teach. I like the way you cater for golfers at all levels.
Thank you Andrew, happy to help

Thats really kind Chris, really happy to help
refreshingly simplistic methods for us simple golfers
Robert Liddle hope they help your golf game Robert
Agree with all the positive comments especially coaching tips for us older amateurs! Thx so much, Danny. We love you.
Its my pleasure!
Danny... You're the only instructor on TH-cam that takes time to reply... Cheers..
Always said if you can take the time out of your day to watch my video I should take the time to answer you questions.
You are by far the best instructor on the web. Love your enthusiasm and technique. I'm getting back into golf after 3 years of being off. Back issues last 2 yrs.

Very excited to see this! Lumbar problems have left me unsure on swing technique, but this video seems the answer. Thanks.
Played my first game after almost 8 weeks yesterday, was a stiff as a plank before it. As the game went on, golf itself loosened me up no end. God I have missed playing; resting is not good good for anyone. You have to keep on moving.
Plenty of time to rest when you're dead (and at the age of 69 I can't have too much time left...) Thanks Danny, once again a great video. Nice of you to think of us old duffers...
It’s my pleasure Christophe, happy to help
Thanks for the video, I'm a 67 year old golfer with reasonable mobility, but that tennis racket drill really helped. I'm a 19 handicapper, but went out today and played to 12, missed a few short putts as well.!! I think that I can do even better wit a bit more practise. Incidentally followed OMP and Liam for ages, so much fun to watch.
Yes they are great, OMP is amazing to watch
Great Video . Not a senior ..yet . 65 years young , Will save for when I am not so limber
Either that Lars or keep exercising 😁
@@DanielMaude do my palms down exercise almost daily
Jeez Danny, just class, as usual. It’s 8:20 here in France on a beautiful sunny morning and I am about to leave for my first round in 10 weeks since lockdown. I’m always worried about my back, damaged in an accident many years ago, but this video has already added a spring to my step and I havent even left the house. Good man Danny Maude.
Have great time Paul, just go and enjoy it
Once again excellent tuition and easy tips to follow especially for us seniors.Helping so many golfers to play beers up mister.
Glad to help beers up to you too Trevor
Hi Danny, really like this video , I agree with the other comments guys have put on, in that method does not have to be based on Tour Pro swings which probably accounts for 0.001% of all golfers.
At 63 I have a sore back due to slipped discs 10 years ago. In 2005 I was off 6.3 Hcp now drifted out to 18.9
The back is fine for the first 1-12 holes but then stiffens up gradually so by 17-18 I am struggling sometimes to hit the ball at all, let alone T Shots and Fairways, and after 20+ Rounds there is a pattern where my scores gradually worsen later in the round.
Tried softer shafts and slowing my tempo but that loses me a lot of distance and control.
Have tried this method and it works 100%.
Now in my favourites and I watch all of your videos!
Hey! There Danny. It's a new year, and I have a new swing to improve my ball striking. Thanks for all of your help.
Danny have been watching your videos for a few years
Loved this senior one. Need more senior videos.
Lots more coming Paul
Danny I'm 78 years old and have been using a single plane swing last few years and found it takes pressure of back. Suggest a video on single plane swing.
excellent advice. seniors can still enjoy the game. great danny !
They can indeed Allen
Danny for some years now I have played an eight or seven Iron with the wrists as a low punch shot into the green if needed. I'm sixty five now and still have a good bit of flexibility. O M P is a great example of this and as you say playing off 10 or is it 11 he has got it down to a fine art. Thanks for the lesson Danny all great stuff.
My pleasure Nic, happy as always to help
Great coaching for the senior golfer like myself. Also not forcing shots keeps it straighter most of the time. Keep the great videos coming Danny & stay safe 👍
Thank you Fred, all the best
Great one Danny. I’m turning 59 in July and although I don’t feel a senior and I’m still quite flexible I see how I can benefit from this lesson.
I’m following Liam and the golfmates and have to admit that I’m stunned when I see how good OMP is playing. He’s giving guys that could be his son or even grandson a run for their money. Love how you teach “around” limitations because imo that’s what a good pro should do. I mean you can try an teach me how to swing it like Rory but after that I would probably spend my time at the fysio in stead of on the course!
Absolutely Ruud, we need to find our own swings
Thx Danny. Great video and it has made a huge difference for me. I spent the lockdown in my garden practising to your vids with airflow balls. Since I got back on the course my shots have been longer, straighter and I have shot my best ever scores . With a 21 hcp I was struggling to keep up with before, I scored 13 and 16 over on my last 2 outings. The key for me was your description here of weight transfer - once I got that my swing felt almost automatic for the first time. Now I just need to keep it up.
Thats amazing to hear Adrian, thanks so much for sharing
And the improvement continues. More PBs and cut now to an 18 hcp. I need to keep working at it but this video helps me to relax and get the timing ( not too fast) and feel in my swing right. When I do I am so much more consistent. Thx again Danny
Nice one Danny. OMP is a legend,Been following golf mates for quite a while now. Keep up the great videos.
Paul Blackmore he is a legend
Once again, a piece of the puzzle. Brillant, cheers Danny! See you soon
and you Rick, have a great weekend
Great stuff Danny, I’m 62 and an above knee amputee. I’ve had to work out a system that works for me. Stretching and flexibility are so important. I use elastic straps and a swing training aid before every round. These techniques are in valuable, what us older golfers can lack in raw power we can make up in accuracy and finesse. I play off 14.
YEA for the OLE Guys, Thanks Danny for your Lessons this guy from the USA 83 and getting better thanks to you.
Amazing Patrick, its golfers like you that are my inspiration
Hey Danny. What a great lesson! OMP - champion! I'm only 68, but have chronic back pain and was considering the possibility of not being able to play. After watching your video, and another of OMP I tried implementing the modified swing during a round with mates, and couldn't believe the difference - virtually painless throughout and after the game, without a considerable loss of distance - it'll do me. Murray from down under.
Amazing to hear Murray, well done
Great video I recently herniated a disc low back I’ll be trying this when I get the clear to thank you so much
My varifocal glasses are a necessity but do cause problems as I am aware that I am looking down at the ball and my chin is geting more towards my chest and affecting my mobility and swing. I am definately going to try your drill and hope it works. Glad I can now say that I can try it on the course this afternoon !! Stay safe
Thanks so much for this. I am back to golf after years away and your videos are helping tremendously.
That’s awesome Kevin happy to help
Back golfing Danny on tue after 9 weeks. Have watched so many golf videos I’ll probably just fall over trying to hit the first ball . OMP and the golfmates are legends btw. Great video again . Look forward to every Saturday MAUDEING. Cheers
Hi Seamus, I played Thursday night, it was magic
I've got back issues I've slipped a disc and struggle to play golf so thankyou so much for this.
You are very welcome James
This is a very good video. Danny helped me a ton by suggesting I move my back foot back to help with my rotation. He also helped to simplify my swing.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your results Mike
Great video Danny, OMP is a genius. Notice that his right foot is slightly behind the left when he swings, and he bends his left arm. All seniors, including me, can learn a lot from Pat. Keep up the good work.
He’s got a magic move in his backswing that helps hugely
Great video again Danny. I watch OMP and he always operates like a well oiled machine with his actions. Like the way you accommodate us more senior players with easy to follow routines. (Glad to see you back on the course)
Thanks 👍 Chris, its great to be back and great to have OMP make a guest appearance
Thank you Danny, as always, very detailed and wonderfully delivered tutorial. After my morning coffee, it's your latest video on the schedule. Makes my day!
GREGORY SAYLOR hope you had a nice coffee Gregory, I do like my morning coffee
Great video I have really bad back issues in my lower had my last back op in February I am really struggling with my swing. My coach at the moment doesn't realise how bad my back is all he get on about is Rory and tries to make me swing like him which is causing me several problems with pain. I am definitely going to find a different coach. I will definitely take your tips to the range and practice them in the mean time,becaus at the moment I am so close to giving the game up for good. Anyway great video brilliant tips keep up the good work.
Thanks for getting in touch John, the key is to find your way of doing things because only you know what your body can and cannot do.
Danny another brilliant video. Excellent video to watch as I’m heading off to play my first round of golf after 11 months off danny thank you. Being a senior golfer and a little stuff these days. I’ve been working on a swing to the one similar to what you’re just showing us. You have to love OMP the fairway finder.👍⛳️🏌️🇨🇦
OMP is a legend of the internet
I’m a golf mate as well I hope that was OMP love to watch Liams videos as well the good ones are him and OMP and OMP can putt thanks Danny for all you do
My pleasure Terry, all the best
Danny, I like the senior stance and I have adopted your technique. I am a right handed golfer and use the stance because I wear a prosthesis on my left leg and I am unable to transfer my weight to my left leg on my follow thru. I am having problems aligning my stance (body) to the target. Great video.
I hope it helps Billy
I watch a variety of golf videos - you are one of my favorites instructors. This particular video got me wondering WHO is actually watching golf TH-cam videos? Some instructors do show giving lessons - but the student is almost always very young, athletic, and practicing a lot. But my guess this is not the predominate demographic watching golf videos. More likely it is someone is who is a bit older, who doesn't possess the highest skill level - or flexibility and doesn't have the time or energy to practice every day. You are actually rare amongst the most popular instructors in addressing this group (me). Most instruction is simply watching a very good player promoting their particular swing theory and techniques. And while they make sense - and it looks like he/she can certainly execute them well - they simply do not help the average golfer actually get better. I would suggest (as you have in this video) that instructors who are looking to build their channels target the people who are actually watching.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Steven, I agree with you. Golfers like yourself and not looked after in the entire golf market
Great lesson. First time I have seen tips for real people.
OMP! OMP! So glad to see you and Liam collaborating, I have followed you both and have a personal friendship with Liam. Hoping to meet you maybe next year in the UK!
Yes, love the golf mates and Liam is doing a wonderful job
Thanks Danny. I am over 65 and an ex front row forward. I followed a "Guru" who said he promoted a pain
free swing. I ended up with a back injury thanks to him. I would be interested to know what your
thoughts are on the takeaway for us with less mobility. The backward bend of the right wrists tends to
get you swing on a better plane.
I think if you start with generating speed first by mobilising the wrists it’s a great starting point. The swing naturally becomes less wristy when the arms come in to the swing and then the rest of the body.
Basically the less you can move the bigger muscles the more you have to move the smaller ones
Wow! Thanks Danny, you're the best. I don't say that lightly, you have a teaching gift. God bless you.
Wow, thank you! Really appreciate the feedback Dave
@@DanielMaude I have learned a lot from you & my wife has too. I message your videos to all my friends. Thank you!
Danny thanks for the suggestion.It helps with my game.I am 73 years old.
You are very welcome
Always great content Danny. OMP is a legendbeen following golf mates for a while along with yourself.
Yes I’m looking forward to having a game with them all when it’s safe to do so
Great Danny. As an elder lemon , this is right in my zone. Still pretty mobile but can’t get the club to parallel at the top.. this can put the swoosh back as Padraig says.
Declan
Absolutely Declan, we all need a little swoosh
Top marks again Danny, I fit into this category and will be trying this out soon. Stay safe. 👍🏌️⛳️
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks David
First time in years I’ve come off the practice ground without backache Danny.Let’s see if I can take it to golf course.
Thanks Gerrie
Love to hear how you get on Gerrie
I went and hit a few of those plastic practise wiffle/ golf ball things around the backyard with a 7 iron before, using your tips and was swingin pretty well and making good contact. If I can hit a real ball that well I'll be happy. I had it all wrong and was bring my right foot out further toward the ball to try and open my stance in an attempt to try and put less pressure on my back by having the hip turn part way completed but it was probably having the exact opposite effect of what I was trying to achieve (pretty standard for me lol) and probably made my slice worse to boot lol. Thanks for the tips :-)
Well done Danny food for thought.
Thank you Steve, happy to help
Not many Pro's do this for us old un's Danny .... as always THANK YOU
My pleasure, due to get my dad on the channel when its safe to do so as he will be able to relate
Now that would be be so hands on so to speak ...Great idea ...
bux46a watch this space
What a man OMP! Great video.
He’s great isn’t he
My course closed completely 2months ago. The few times I've played since my swing has been erratic and stiff. Last week I wanted to quit golf forever, shot 107 as a 14hc. This video makes me think there is a chance. Thanks from a stiff old guy.
You are very welcome, happy to help
Neither my wife nor I are seniors, but my wife had a lot of hip operations when she was a teen and I think these tips will help her this spring
Hope it helps her Eric 👍
Great video. Can't wait to try it out at the range
So encouraging for me thank you
You are very welcome Roger
GREAT VIDEO This explains the use of the wrists which is why a 5' 2" pro lady golfer can out hit a 6'2" male golfer !
Absolutely Michael
OMP is a legend👍 great vid Danny
He is indeed
Great information. Just discovered you today and the idea of building speed at the bottom is great. Can’t wait to try the drill and get some more speed with my bad back.
Jeff Diefenbach look forward to hearing how you get on Jeff
Thanks Danny it worked for me
Thats great Avonne, thanks for sharing
Thanks Danny.
My son owns a Heath and fitness business and has one of those guns. They are great. They give a really deep massage.
Thanks for sharing Ray, I'm a new user myself and I'm sold. They are great
Awesome training tips for this "Old Geezer". Thank You, Danny, and God Bless.
You are very welcome
Another great video lesson. Your lessons have helped me become more consistent which enables me to attack each hole with a plan. Age has cost me some distance though and I need to hit it farther to get to the next level. Hard to make pars with long irons and hybrids. Adding yards off the tee and adding some yards with my irons will help immensely!
Absolutely Robert, hope this helps
Awesome Danny. Being an ex rugby player I’m pretty inflexible so this is great instruction!
No problem Bede 👍
OMP is a legend. Great to see him featured
Yes, Lucy to get him on the Channel
Thanks Danny. Very encouraging.
You are very welcome
Great video...love OMP and Golfmates...keep it up!
Thanks Kenneth, hope you are well
Great that you do so much for seniors ! And practice plans are super invention.
When do you go back into the fairway or greenside bunker again ?
Or club choice in bump and run chipping (flight vs roll rule) now we can see the ball roll on the green again....
Yes, I was thinking about creating one for next week 😁
