Senior Golfers: Three Tweaks to Play Pain Free

Nobody quits golf because they want to. They quit because it hurts. If your back, hips, or shoulders are turning 18 holes into an endurance test, the problem might not be your body it might be a mismatch between the swing you learned at 30 and the body you have at 60.
