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. You don’t need a massive swing overhaul to play pain-free. By making three honest adjustments, using your knees to unlock rotation, implementing a simple 5-minute pre-round mobility routine, and matching your equipment to your current swing speed, you can stay competitive and comfortable. Learn how GOLFTEC’s OptiMotion™ data can help you identify your specific mobility limits and build a swing that works with your body, not against it.
