Spicing the Seniors Game
something different for Seniorz!!
dESTINATION eVENTS appreciates and understands that most senior golfers don't know how to get better, this gives them a purpose, a direction and a plan.
We have a program we offer conducted for seniors on a holiday trip where accommodation and equipment is provided.
The program creates a fantastic introduction to new over 40 years old golfers and a systematic program for the experienced golfer who still wants to improve on his or her game.
There is something for all our senior golfers, in a very relaxed and holiday mood, who otherwise might not have had the exposure or expert training to get into Golf at a late stage in life.
As is commonly known, golf also creates and assists tremendously with a child's motor skills and coordination. It is a growing sport, which has had great success in South Africa.ake advantage of our cost-effective professional offering.
Senior golfers, who already recognize the physical and mental benefits of regular play, may not relish the changes in their body they encounter as they age. With advancing age, comes more knowledge and understanding of golf, but less physical strength and endurance.
Senior players encounter a bit more frustrations therefore adjustments are necessary for continued game enjoyment and achievement.
​
As players age and lose some of their power and flexibility, it is important to make modifications, focusing on strengths and mitigating weaknesses. This often means players need to shift their emphasis from hitting the long shots down the fairway to improving their short game, honing chip shot skills, for instance.
Since strength and flexibility often deteriorate with age, a solid warm up routine is critical to preserving physical ability and preventing injuries on the golf course. Whether from old sports wounds or arthritis, there are some common problem areas for seniors such as ankles, hips, necks and shoulders.
Maintaining muscle strength helps players achieve proper posture, stance and balance, increasing their endurance on the course and reducing aches and pains off the course.
Since the mechanics of a senior player's game has changed, it is important to reexamine golf equipment and accessories. Toss those long irons and replace them with easier-to-hit hybrids, and exchange their low-lofted 3-woods with much user-friendly high-launch 3-woods.
​
Older golfers shouldn't be afraid to change their grips to a larger size. Superior grips help increase a player's strength and power, allowing them to grip the club better.
Concise practice is still the key to achieving and maintaining a lower score.
We have put together academy and tour packages for the senior golfers that would ensure they enjoy their golf yet more than they even did earlier in their playing days, and have fantastic packages for late starter golfers.
We recommend that our senior golf clients spend the bulk of their practice sessions making 3 to 4 foot putts. Even a 50 percent conversion of those putts results in a significant decrease in overall score. After all, the end goal is to get the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible.
