By doing so, ensure your golf game ages gracefully

Golf coaching has been evolving, but the best advice has stood the test of time. In Golf.com’s new series “The Eternal Tips”, we highlight some of the greatest advice teachers and players distributed in the Golf Magazine page. Today, we provide some tips from Julius Boros on how to play golf with age on the page released in December 1967.

Golf is a game you can play throughout your life, but that doesn’t mean you will always play well. In fact, if you don’t take the necessary steps, your game may give up on you as you get older.

This is not the case with Julius Boros. In 1968, he became the oldest major champion ever (eventually surpassed by Phil Mickelson) as he won the 48-year-old PGA title. Entering his 50s.

You’re unlikely to compete with the best world in the 50s like Boros, but that doesn’t mean your golf game doesn’t age gracefully. Boros joined in 1967 Golf Magazine And share his best tips for playing golf as you get older, which you can read below.

Boros’ Solid Golf Tips as You Get Age

What this man wants to know is that when you are 47, you play better than ever before, and then when you are 47, you will be closer to an older age? OK, that’s the truth. I will be 48 in March, but my 18th year on a professional tour is the sweetest I’ve ever known. Winning in Phoenix in Orlando and then the Buick Open gave me as many wins as I posted a year later, and now I don’t have to write about the wealthy status of the Pro Tour back home. Uncle would write to me and even send a limousine. So I will try to explain it and possibly help some of you other “old people” in the process.

The truth is, I’m better than I’ve been racing for a few years and drive farther. A very important reason is that physically I feel better than I have been feeling for a long time and I can swing easily without the sharp pain to make the meteor’s entire body.

Of course, there are other factors that make this particular “old man” productive in a game full of hardships. These are things about fighting some people slowly losing their waist bulge, finding five pars extending into six pars, reaching green and panting, wondering if the final putter is worth it, if it is worth it.

If I had to sum it up, I would say that if my father’s time is helping you, there are five ways to help yourself:

1. Fix hands and arms.
2. Help yourself make bigger turns with faster, faster left-side movements.
3. Focus on anchoring the head to maintain good balance.
4. Work hard to get the ball further speed.
5. When you are on the ball, your entire rhythm slows down your entire rhythm.

My success this year is largely due to the combination of these factors, although, as I pointed out, it is largely due to my physical benefits. For three years, I had cystitis on both shoulders starting in 1959, and then for another period from 1964, I had the same thing with the elbow and one shoulder. Once these are cleared, I will naturally be able to swing more freely.

But as we arrive in middle age, there are many mechanical methods we can use to help us play, even better. I think one of the main drawbacks of our falls is that we have too loose grip. So the first thing you have to pay attention to is that the left hand is a square ball and firm, so it doesn’t flip over when power is applied to the right. Strong hands and arms will stop the bad habits on the head of the club with both hands and close the club at the top of the swing.

In the first few feet of the first few feet, the club’s head away from the ball will eliminate the straightening of the wrist. This keeps the left arm and the club shaft needed to align directly, and then the hand will gradually move on the back swing.

Personally, I feel like my sag starts by pulling my left hand down toward the ground. But almost at the same time, the hips have to move to the left so that you can avoid the left and apply all your strength. The work on the left gives you the freedom to turn to the ball and move quickly here – while maintaining a curved attitude through the anchoring head – will develop your own strength.

Now, when I say “quick action” to avoid the left side, I’m not saying you jump onto the ball. However, if you focus on head position when exercising transfers, you will soon find that this is a relatively simple move that lubricates your swing.

You will find that maintaining the head position prevents the body from moving forward during the swing and actually adds the whipping movement of the club head when exerting force. It is reasonable to think that if your body is stable behind the ball at the impact, your club head will drive the force forward faster than you can by the force you move forward.

One of the most common disadvantages of a regular golfer is the stabbing of a ball that falls. You won’t hit the ball with your body. You hit it with your hands, keeping your head and body stable to produce full power.

I was told that I was “lazy” through the ball. Of course, this is a wrong impression. I do try to seek a smooth, easy, controlled swing. But I did drive my hand to the impact area as soon as possible.

There is a clear batting area that extends from two feet behind the ball to one foot of the ball. It is in this area that you want to maximize manual speed while maintaining rhythm and balance. Actually, it’s very simple. Essentially, the secret is to keep the head and body stable in the impact area while having both hands waving the ball under their command.

Of course, your hands should continue to move towards the target for a second after the impact, but that’s not what you’re involved in swinging. This action is just the end result of a good defender and hem.

Now, if your hand suddenly rises after a hit, it’s because your head and body may be deviating from the downward target. The reason here is the probability that you fail to transfer the weight to the left and you don’t have the probability of returning your right elbow to the bottom to the right.

So remember to transfer the weight quickly, smoothly to the left when you pull down with your left hand and arm to start tilting down. Return the right elbow to the right, keep the head stable behind the ball to support the left, hang firmly on the left with your left hand, and whip it with your right side. In fact, all of this will allow you to delay the hit until the right moment – when your hand enters the hit area and the speed throws the club head in the last two feet.

If you work firmly to slow down the pace and pace of the game, this will be a huge help in applying this hand force and helping you increase your hand speed. I was so happy when I heard people say my playing was totally relaxed and uncaring. Let me say here, I will feel stressed like everyone else. I probably hide it more than most others. But it’s there. But the more stressed I try to slow down so I don’t rush or jump away.

This effort is especially important as we are more likely to separate at the seams. So as the years pile up, it’s a good idea to slow down when you shoot. In other words, I’m not saying that when you walk from one lens to another, you should keep moving forward. When I play, it seems like I wandered around the world without careful attention. Actually, even if its appearance is not popular, I walk at a pretty fast pace. I can save time when I get close to the ball and then when I arrive, in most cases, I know exactly the club I intend to play.

It’s time to get stuck in what I’m talking about my front rotation mode, a deliberate process of thought and action that will provide me with a coordinated, ineffective swing. Personally, I’m reluctant to practice just because it tends to interfere with my pattern. What I want is stable, deliberately paying attention to the smooth, rhythmic swing process at hand.

So I put the head of the club behind the ball, my feet closed, my feet perpendicular to the flight line, and my hips turned slightly to the left. Next, I expanded my position and moved my left side first, then my right foot. Then I focused on a smooth, tension-free guard and was controlled back to the ball. And, I must never rush to defend, I learned a few years ago that the ball would not move away until I hit it.

With all the tones and the speed of crying, I don’t want you to think I advocate for the snail’s pace as you go from one shot to another. In fact, you can only save a lot of time by judging your own lens. You can get close to it and then continue your business. As Gene Sarazen once said, “Miss Quick.” Because the hesitation about which club to use and studying various lenses is wasted too much time. I find that usually your first decision about which club you should use is the best.

On the other hand, I shouldn’t play myself until I’m physically and mentally ready, and the physical aspect is crucial for middle-aged people. Suppose you have just walked up a steep hill, or accelerated your normal speed to a point where your breath is more severe than usual for some reason or otherwise. Of course, when you are breathless, you won’t get the smooth, unwelcome swing you want. In this case, it is certainly wise to take a step back and wait for the moment you need to get your pulse rate back to normal. You must form a swing to avoid fast, jerky or excessive anxiety.

If you can give it a try, all of these might help. I know that an “old guy” helps. I.
