How to play golf as a senior.

[@ianmcmillan5590]

This is a great example of how to play golf with a slow swing speed , excellent 😊😊

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Keep it smooth!! Thanks for watching! -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@iwrite61]

So many people can be encouraged by this. I am one of them. Bulging discs and arthritis and I’m still out there every week having fun. Thanks, Jimmy.

[@josephzigurski7127]

This helped me a lot Jimmy! I'm 74. Thank you!

Jimmy, I like your style of teaching. Im 78, been away from golf for 48 years and I started again about a year ago. Hardest thing I had to learn was-----nothing is the same as when I was 30. Ive been working with less than a full swing for this last year. Thanks for teaching us old farts!!!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Haha! Keep working on it. Youll get it! Low and Slow! Thanks for watching and thanks for the support. Make sure to check out the new Jimmy Tropicana golf ball at www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@peterbrewer1822]

Of course this is a great demonstration of how to play senior golf. But what impresses me the most is your humanity. You really seem to care! Many thanks.

[@58russ]

I'm 65 and I appreciate you making this video. Thanks Jimmy!

[@markt113]

Jimmy you are giving back to your community and that is a great thing. Appreciate you man.

[@robinbhairam7508]

You make it look so easy and yet keep the fun in it … You’re fast becoming my inspirational KZbin watch … thanks fella … 😊

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

glad its helping you. thanks for watching

[@johnhurley9440]

You are dead right, Jimmy. I'm 75 and have sciatica, and I can play this way. I tried it and it works. And it's fun playing on the short grass! Thank you, brother. This nothing but good,

[@ronpryor5812]

You're the best instructor, coach I've everer watched. Thanks for making golf fun again this old duffer.

[@markzinda8863]

This could be your all-time best video!

[@wildcatfan1193]

Learn something from you every time I watch one of your videos. I am playing so much better because of it.

[@chandrashekhara5555]

Dear jimmy you make the golf simple and boost confidence. Thanks. Good morning

[@koreysmith3635]

I'm 64...getting back into golf...it's been hard. You give me hope and you're tips make it fun. Thanks, Johnny T.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Keep playing Johnny!

[@ajwadshariz6187]

Thank you Jimmy, my swing speed has dropped and this video proves I don’t have to smash the ball. Love it. 😊

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Love to hear it. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@grumpygrandaddevon3501]

Hi Jimmy, Another brilliant video you are giving me so much confidence as I am in my mid 70s and I've only been playing for 18 months,👍👍

[@davidhester9716]

One of the best things about golf is that it is a game for life. From youth to the end, this game extends your entire lifetime. I am over 80, but still cannot wait to play again. Your video should help many of limited abilities make the most of the ability they possess. Great video Jimmy!

[@williamcornelison4721]

Well I just turned 76 and I'll in a few months I'm having Back Surgery. You give me hope. Yeah Baby.... So looking forward to get back to the course again.

[@pallopsiripipat9422]

Thanks Jimmy, this is the best golf video for senior I have ever seen. I am 82 years old. I started playing golf at age 62. I had two back surgeries and a knee surgery. This is the first time I have ever seen a golfer use the driver for 170 yards par 3. I am another person. When I played with young players. They probably laughed at me when I pulled out my driver for this distance par 3, I cared about my score not what I used. The result turned out good they probably stopped laughing at me. For years I couldn't hit any clubs that are longer than 7 iron. Since I studied, watched videos and practiced almost everyday now I can. I found your golf video early this year I really enjoy and learn a lot from your simple instruction. Not only that you are funny too, you made me laugh many time. Thanks again.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hey I love to hear this. Glad youre enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching.

[@paulwoods3214]

Thanks Jimmy. bogey is 90 which is pretty good for an older amateur to shoot for. ill try widening the stance.I've been hitting a 4iron off the tees from the forward tees and it has really increased the fun.

[@GlenGuillot]

Thank you Jimmy! I`m 66 with 2 hip replacements. My game ain`t what it used to be, mainly because I think I`m trying too hard. You have shown me the light. Can`t wait to give this a try.

[@jeffproehl295]

lol😊. Great video. Thankyou. I can’t wait to be on the tee going “Hey, Jimmy”. I am 60. Find myself just adding club. 6 iron 150. I am enjoying golf more the older I get and think the best is yet to come. Happy Thanksgiving

[@Doug-q1f]

Thanks so much for this video! Im 71 full of arthritis and have had my lower back completely fused and I just had a left Knee Replacement. I am going to try this. Thank you so much for letting us know that we can still play, not like we used to but still have fun !!!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

smooth it out

[@krk111761]

Another good video. Thanks Jimmy.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks for watching -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

Jimmy, you just described my game. I gave up the driver, for a 3W. I don't hit fat, but much of the time I can get on the short grass. In place of the driver, I added a wedge. I now have a 52, 56, 60, and 68 degree collection . I am constantly pitching near the green. This video proves, smooth and easy does work.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Easy does it. Thanks for watching

[@davidwatson6226]

A big thank you from a 78 yr. old who can only hit a driver 120yds. I watch all your tips and they work for me but this one could be the game changer and stop me thinking I can keep up with my son who is a scratch golfer. It's all in the mind thank you.

[@PaulSedillo-iw6yt]

2 months ago i shot 110 and was so down on golf. followed your method and shot a 92 today. I practice and played on a 9 hole course to get to where I am now. Thanks so much and i follow what you say and have not lost any distance

[@seancoxe1094]

Thanks for this, Jimmy. Just turned 76 last month, and I needed to hear this. A couple of years ago, I got tired of telling my playing partners what club I would've hit 25 years ago and trotting out my litany of excuses on the first tee, and I moved to the forward tees. No one wants to hear about the player you used to be, and no one cares what club you now hit from 140 yds. My back won''t let me beat balls on the range anymore, so I spend a lot of time on and around the practice green. I still shoot in the low 80s without too much effort.

[@mr555harv]

You are going back to the original golf before the professionals entered the scene. Play your game and have fun. I am 79 and having fun. A kid in high school said to me: I wish I could play like you when I am old. So, I got proper respect and had fun. Healthy to be out in the sun and associate with the younger guys.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

there you go. swing smooth and have fun!

[@davidball9041]

Thank you Jimmy. Since watching your videos, I think I am playing smarter. I think about what you say. Just get the ball in the short grass. Get that first putt close. I am very happy if I get a 90. Had an 87 yesterday. No question, your lessons work. 👏

[@Hunter-zp5hd]

I think this is a very positive message here. I’m in my late 50’s and I’ve had a back surgery S1/L4. I still have pain almost every day. Knowing that I can just take a nice smooth tempo swing and still be able to play, is huge. I used to be around scratch, but as the age and back pain increased, I just can’t play to that level any longer. I just want to play, enjoy the outside, and have some fun. I’m glad for this video.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks so much for the comment. It's all about having fun. Be smooth!

[@markgibbs3496]

Jimmy, I love the videos! 35 handicap at age 59 here and I shot a 98 yesterday. Vast improvement for sure. Pulled out a driver twice because I had enough room to hit that I could not make a mistake. Don't have a 69 degree, but used my NEVER used 60 degree around the greens instead of my 7 iron and it works! Played slow and easy and I believe I am going to break 90 before the end of the summer! 3, 2, 1, Fire!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Whatever works Mark! Thanks for watching -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@keithtatlow3705]

Great video Jimmy, I’m only 53, but my youth and failed attempt at being a professional bull rider really took its toll on my body. I try to keep up with the long hitters and pay for it for a couple days after every round, I’m going to try this thanks

[@kennethjonczak641]

I’m so glad someone finally made a video on this. Myself as well as most of the guys I play with are older and have issues. If I try to swing harder I often hit fat or miss hit. Your videos Jimmy are so helpful!

[@Coussini]

I love your course. You show me how to relax and do right thing. Better course ever.

[@jamescarlos1532]

Jimmy this one of your best videos. I am in my early 70’s. I am going practice golf swing that you demonstrated in the video. Continue doing the great job that you do!!

[@RaoulMeunier]

Great video, so realistic, keeping it real, this is the way I have to play due to many baseball injuries from the past and also my age, this gives me hope to keep playing.😊

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

keep playing and keep having fun. slow it down. thanks for watching. :) be smooth- jimmy tropicanagolfshop.com

[@frankzayas3103]

I suffered from Frozen Shoulder a few years ago and couldn't play at all for 4 months. Once It eased off a little, this is the way I had to play for another couple of months. I moved up a set of tees, was hitting driver about 170-180, 7 irons about 125-130, but Hey, I was keeping the ball in play , lost balls and penalty shots were non-existent and I kept it moving towards the hole. I still managed to shoot in the 80's and was just thankful to be able to get out there again. It was fun.

[@lancewenmohs3081]

Jimmy, you make it look so simple. Nice work.

[@donnyg6595]

keeping it simple.....great job

[@gordburkholder1184]

Great videos Jimmy. I struggle with gripping my clubs in a consistent manner. Could you do a video on this.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I will soon! Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@jimbo5257]

Thanks Jimmy. I’m learning a worry free shot from you.

[@robfortunato1349]

Thx Jimmy I keep watching this video over again.

[@tma6983]

Awesome, Jimmy. I love how you manage your game. It's incredibly cathartic to watch you navigate it. Your lessons are amazing because you simplify the complex.

[@Tumble96]

Thank you for the best advice in Golf!!! It really gave me a better sense of perspective in the game. There is HOPE for the love of the game of Golf Thank you….

[@garyszewczyk6577]

[@rdeluna11]

I'm 65 and I played today just like that , and I shot a 40 on the front nine, not bad, thanks brother for your videos.

[@tedzink4574]

40 for 9 holes is a great score. Any score in the 80's is beating 75% of all golfers. Keep it going.

[@robertbrusellenglishguitarist]

Excellent video, Jimmy. Thank you for uploading. 🙂

Did another round and after a triple bogey first hole; shot a 44. Everything started to go well as o showed all what I was trying to mimic your golf swing. Thanks

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Keep it smooth paul. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@paulsedillo43]

Yes I been going smooth and everyone amazed how will i been playing just using my Irons. Thanks. Hopefully the end of scoring above 100​@TropicanaEntertainment

[@JohnH33817]

Hey Jimmy, Great video probably one of the best I've seen for seniors like myself 👍 keep in mind if I bogey every hole I still shoot 90 which if I'm correct 95% of all golfers can't break 100🤣 so awesome job.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Youre correct sir. Keep playing! Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@e.z.5275]

Jimmy you are cool and the MAN!

[@jimbrownlee1984]

Great advice Jimmy. Now I have a request. My wife watches me watching your videos and every time I go to play she reminds me . "Remember what Jimmy said, keep the v, head down, butt to belly etc." In other words she doesn't play but has confidence that I am playing better because of your videos. Having said that if you could do me a solid and mention in your next video that what probably would help is a new set of clubs it would go a long way for me to get those new pings. Thanks Jimmy.

[@GreenDistantStar]

Good stuff, Jimmy. I would however like to point out that as we age, it's far more likely that the bottom half is where the issues arrive, not the top half. That's knees and hips, and why we get more 'handsy' in the swing.

[@Mogsey1972]

Great video again!!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@RobertWicks-xg4vs]

This guy is great!

[@leonardblush2557]

A nice thing older guys can also utilize is "cheat" clubs to augment your excellent advice. For example, on that second shot on the first hole, many guys will use a 4-6 hybrid. Some might use a whole bag's worth, like those from the Eleven brand. Or there's the Cleveland, etc Halo Launcher type hybrid irons. Or a 13+ degree driver. Or a 7 wood. Or a (Cleveland) HyWood. Jimmy, one other thing to perhaps address for the older guys is the huge slice so many seem resigned to playing. You see guys lining up toward the left field foul territory stands so that they can hopefully end up in center field. I've wondered if the huge outside-in swing is a physical limitations thing or just a long term swing thing that they simply accept. I have a friend like this. I say nothing because I don't want to really screw him up and he seem fine with it. It's like when Gene Wilder tells Marty Feldman ( in Young Frankenstein) that he might be able to do something about that hump and Marty replies "What hump"?

[@Mrshortstop4]

Thank you for this jimmy

[@DaleVilleneuve]

Great video Jimmy.

[@bradpetty7841]

Dang,this is a great video

[@calgent8260]

Hello Jimmy, Just found your channel and enjoy the videos and hitting ball much better! You are an excellent Teacher and easy to connect with....thank you! I was standing up too much! Can you give us some pointers on how you personally grip the club? My Golf Buds hate my grip as my right hand is so dominant strong. Always had a weak left hand, left foot since a kid. Been gripping club with super strong grip since I was 13....64 now. I need the right hand to help the weak left! Been a boring 15 handicap all my life. I can't do the interlocking fingers as that has always felt way beyond too weird. I just do the pinky overlap. I think maybe of trying ten finger baseball grip. Thank you for your Teachings! Mitch in Cal

[@tedzink4574]

You were laughing about hitting driver less than 170, I occasionally do a drill hitting driver 100, then 150, then take a full swing, seems to help me know where the clubface is and to control the dispersion.

[@watarumiyanari9816]

[@Keith-zc2nn]

I only play par 3, but on a tough little course. When I chunk my second chip, I think "Putt for par".Unless the ball is 5 yards from the fringe. I'm putting and stay out of more trouble that another bad chip can bring..

[@jfisher80020]

Love your content as always, and I hope you get your voice back soon!

[@timhanna4700]

At 56 with an ailing (arthritis and a pinched nerve at L5-S1) back but still flexible it's difficult for me to slow my swing down. I've tried. I'm still in the mid to high 90's with the irons and in the 108-112 range with the driver.

[@robfortunato1349]

Thx Jimmy, yes I'm 65, left rotator injury, arthritis in back and hands. Nice enjoy your youth, I'm still strong tho, need to tweak my swing.

[@bobbypitts482]

Jimmy can you cover the rule of 12 and how it works!!!

[@paulcanting4456]

Tnx Jimmy❤

[@jgaulorr]

How would you play from deep rough, the ball is sitting down low, around the green?

[@jcrowe2826]

Most seniors or injured person doesnt have core and lower strength and flexability so enter the more arm (upper) swing. But i enjoy your style and approach

[@robertcourt8593]

We need to normalize playing from shorter tees. I played my course from the forward winter mats last week, shot 85. Played at the weekend from the normal tees, played "better" but shot 91

[@williamcornelison4721]

69 1/2, my mind says I can still swing like I'm twenty, and I can. Kill it, killit, 150 yards out, 100 feet up, and, 100 yards out in the woods. Ten handicap, played my first round last Wednesday without my driver? Went from 43 to 48, down to 40? What's up with that. Did NOT kill it, landed in the fairway. I think we are onto something. Thank you for sharing.
