Senior golf instruction begins with the realization that physical abilities disintegrate insidiously during life’s golden years. Golf is a game of hand-eye coordination and time takes its toll in this area.
Seniors can still play at a high level; the biggest handicap is the loss of distance on all shots, but that can be offset with a better use of equipment and diligent practice on the short game.
Seniors should discard their long irons (3-iron, 4-iron, and 5-iron) in favor of the new hybrids that are available in golf shops and pro shops. The hybrids are much easier to hit and will be of inestimable value to seniors.
Senior instruction should impart the knowledge that they have to use more club on most shots—be realistic about your distance.

The shot to take out of a sandtrap has got to be considered one of the most risk versus reward opportunities in golf. Getting the ball out of a trap and advancing either close to the pin or down the fairway can work wonders for a handicap if executed consistently. Most ahigh handicap players do not spend adequate time practicing sand shots. It is a completely illogical decision, as high-handicappers are far more likely to end up in the sand than more skilled players. The term “take your medicine” is one that universally applies to bad lies in sand traps. It can save strokes to sacrifice advancing the ball for a guarantee “out” of a trap, rather than attempting the improbable shot and ending up with the same lie.

Pitching separates many good golfers from great ones. The ability to pitch effectively from distances up to 50 yards can effectively change the handicap of any golfer. Pitching is one of the aspects of a golf game that takes an abundance of practice. All different kinds of pitch shots need to be mastered for a golfer to have full confidence around the green. Depending on the pin placement and undulations in and around the green, it may be possible to choose between a number of pitch shots to get to the cup. Having a selection of shots from which to choose makes pitching up an effective tool in the bag. Decision-making when pitching can be just as important as the swing.

If you want to automatically drop one stroke per hole, you need to chip it close and one putt. How many greens do you hit in regulation in a round? If you’re like most of us weekend hackers, I would guess less than 20%. That means you hit about two to four in a normal round. Chances are, you’re hitting close to the green on your second shot, then with a sand wedge or short iron, chipping it on to the green. This is where touch and accuracy are critical. If you can chip it close (within two to four feet of the cup), you’ve got good chance of one putting (for par) or two putting (for bogey) — either one means you’re shooting in the low 90s or breaking into the 80s on a consistent basis.
Want lower scores, learn to chip it close — watch your handicap plummet!
