Watch this video to find out what the five must do's are for you if you are golfer that is approaching their senior golfing experience.

The Proper Golfing methodology coached by Julian Mellor is particularly beneficial for senior golfers for several reasons.
Firstly, Julian Mellor's approach focuses on developing a swing that is more suited to the physical capabilities of senior players. As we age, our bodies naturally undergo changes that can affect our mobility, flexibility, and strength. Julian's coaching takes these factors into account and emphasises techniques that optimise performance within the limitations of age-related physical changes. This allows senior golfers to maintain consistency, power, and accuracy in their swings, resulting in improved overall performance on the course.
Secondly, Julian Mellor's teaching methods prioritise simplicity and efficiency. He believes in minimising unnecessary movements and keeping the swing as natural and effortless as possible. This is especially advantageous for senior golfers who may have reduced energy levels or limited mobility. By focusing on a more streamlined and efficient swing, Julian helps senior golfers conserve energy, reduce strain on their bodies, and achieve more consistent results.
Moreover, Julian Mellor's coaching philosophy places a strong emphasis on enjoyment and the mental aspect of the game. He understands that golf is not just a physical activity but also a mental challenge, and this is particularly relevant for senior golfers. By instilling confidence, providing effective mental strategies, and fostering a positive mindset, Julian helps senior golfers overcome any mental barriers they may face and enjoy the game to its fullest potential.
Lastly, Julian Mellor's experience and expertise in coaching senior golfers are unparalleled. He has dedicated a significant portion of his career to understanding the unique needs and challenges faced by older golfers. Through his extensive work with senior players, Julian has developed a deep understanding of their specific requirements and has fine-tuned his coaching approach to cater to their needs. This specialised knowledge and tailored approach make Julian Mellor an exceptional coach for senior golfers.
In summary, the Proper Golfing methodology coached by Julian Mellor is highly advantageous for senior golfers due to its focus on adapting to age-related physical changes, promoting simplicity and efficiency, emphasising enjoyment and mental strategies, and Julian's specialised expertise in coaching older players. These factors combined make his coaching approach ideal for senior golfers looking to improve their performance and continue enjoying the game at any age.

An excellent summary of Julian's teaching ideas.
Older golfers can improve & continue the game thanks to his sensible & practical suggestions.
I would recommend seniors switch to hybrids, especially in the long irons. I carry a 3, 4, 5, and 6 hybrid, and I'm considering a 7 hybrid. Hybrids are so versatile and easy to hit, a perfect club for seniors.
I love the ideas of hybrids đ
Played 18 holes today. I'm a senior, so I played from the forward tees. I am new to Easiest Swing. Things went well. 45 front 46 back. I short sighted myself enough to keep me from going lower. 91 is my personal best lifetime. Thanks Julian and Jo for your help.
Thatâs great to hear. So pleased for you đđ
another great reminder of what we should be doing, thanks julian
My pleasure Nick.
All excellent points, thanks for posting video. Only comment is shaft lean for irons but not driver. Set sole of driver on ground then grip shaft actually leans slightly back.
Hi Julian,
I kind of lost my way with my swing, but this video really helped me to 'reset'. The part that helped the most was your advice on achieving the correct posture. I applied it on the course today and found my swing again. Sometimes, it's the very basics that matter. Thank you.đ
Thatâs great to hear Ged, youâre right we should never skip the set up as itâs the foundations to the swing
Good to see you back Julian, i worked all winter on a shorter back swing, and changing to a stronger 3-4 knuckle grip, I'm now almost 70, actually hitting it further and more accurately than ever with 3/4 swing including my driver.
Thank you for your kind words Richy, pleased that you are hitting the ball so well. Always nice to playing some nice golf đ
All excellent suggestions Julian for senior golfers! One thing that I have done was gone to a triangular movement (shoulders, arms, and club)and flexible wrists in my swing. Being a "super senior" I do probably get back to your 3/4 suggestion and still get reasonable distance and very good accuracy by doing so. I try to stay centered in my swing by using pressure points rather than weight transfer in my swing. As you, I agree that ball position is critical and yesterday was thinking about moving the ball back somewhat as you suggested in this video. Several years ago, I switched to graphite and to hybrids replacing long irons and mid irons. Well Done Julian!
Thank you for your kind words and support, John. I know that a lot of coaches ignore senior golfers and yet we make up the majority of golf club memberships. Itâs important that we all share our thoughts and feelings. đđđ
@@JulianMellor I am a member of a senior men's golf club and as such have been quite successful in the tournaments I have participated in. Always good to have a coach like you Julian to fall back on!
YAY Jo is back! Awesome coaching as usual, love the questions Jo askes that most would have if watching! Top self video again.
Thanks Robb, I like the questions Jo asks too, itâs important to answer them as quickly as they are asked just like when Iâm coaching.
Thank you!!! Itâs good fun to be back đ
Good simple processes
very good video, I like the way its broke down into different movements! easy to understand!
Thanks Eddie
Yet another great coaching video!!! Looking forward to our coaching session on Saturday as usualđ
Thanks Rich, look forward to seeing you Saturday đđ
Great video Julian, all excellent suggestions and very good questions from Jo.
Thank you David, nice and simple things to do and consider that will make a difference for sure.
Thank you David đ
Very helpful video. Iâve been trying out new drivers recently and somehow lost my whole swing. Iâm hoping these drills will help me feel flexible and coordinated again. Thanks.
They will certainly help, try not to over think your swing if possible đ
Wonderful video, however, as a 53 yr. old golfer, I started using an exaggerated "flared" stance this year (trying to model PGA Pro, Grant Waite), and it has worked wonders because I just don't have the lower back flexibility that I did as a teenager. You should do a video on the benefits of that.
Thanks for your kind comment, Iâm annoyed at myself as the flared feet is something I advise golfers to do often and I forgot to mention it in this video. Appreciate the prompt and Iâll certainly create a video on this subject đđŻ
Correct, also, one other thing I forgot to mention is that my PGA teacher encourages older golfers to experiment with choking down on the club, it makes is feel lighter and actually increases club head speed...at least for me it did. Cheers! @@JulianMellor
Enjoyed your video. I try lifting my lead heel but on the downswing I somehow early extend and block shots. User error obviously đ
Thanks for your kind comment James, make sure you are following the flight of the balls with your eyes on the follow through đ
Thanks for your reply. Iâll try your tip tomorrow đ
Very informative thank you
Thanks Ronald
Thank you for your valuable tips.
I am 80 years old & still play regularly.
As my average drive with the latest fitted Ping driver is only 145 yards I prefer playing off the shorter red tees.
Off the yellow tees I struggle to score less than 100.
Playing off the red tees I usually score in the low 90's.
I prefer to enjoy a game with a realistic target.
My short game makes up for my 7 wood only going an average of 120 yards.
What do you think about my way of playing golf?
I think itâs a fantastic way to play Alan, who cares how long a hole is đ it about enjoying playing the game thatâs all
I appreciate your positive reply.@@JulianMellor
Julian, I must say thank you because your swing is working well for me. What I have found thus far is the easier & smoother I swing the straighter & farther the ball goes. This has to be due to consistently striking the ball more in the middle of the club face. A helpful tip I wanted to throughout, I was having trouble losing long irons to the right. On the range I started closing my clubface at setup just a little with 4 & 5 iron and now hitting beautiful baby draws. Cheers to you Julian!
Thatâs awesome to hear, couldnât be more pleased for you
@@JulianMellor Thank you Julian! Would like to fly across the pond and take a lesson from you one of these days..
Youâll be made most welcome, always the FaceTime option btw
Great as allways !!!. Best regards from Argentina,
Thank you Jorge, appreciate your kind words. Howâs Argentina? Have to say Iâve never visited đ
@@JulianMellor amazing country. Huge. Five thousand kilĂłmeters long, two thousand wide. Landscapes everywhere. Come to visit anda play good golf âłâł
Every time I perform #3, I hit pull hooks because I swing outside in. That hip motion has to move upward and then around to work for me.
Sound good to me đ
Hi Julian, have you thought of making a short video instructing your subscribers on how to set up to target. I am not the only one that struggles with setup (aim) to the intended target, not necessarily the pin. I see golfers using an alignment rod but not sure if this rod is pointing to the target since the ball sits off from the alignment rod. What is the rod pointing to ? I am sure you have explained it in a prior video but I just canât find it now. Thanks again.
I can do that no problem, Richard thanks for the suggestionđ
julian just seen this vid vey good, is there any reason why the three club routine can not be used mid round if you get out of tempo
Thatâs a good question David, I donât see any reason why not đ
Mobility of lower back is the most common area of loss of mobility. This often will not, can not be regained. So focus on processes that manage the swing more efficiently and effectively.
Indeed, process is key and awareness of your movement
Another great video Julian! Thank you. Unrelated strange question; do you sell shirts like the one you are wearing?
Hi Ken, thank you for your kind comment, very much appreciated. We are looking at getting some shirts in from Footjoy. Would you want a logo on or plain?
@@JulianMellor I kind of like the logo, that way I can advertise your great content on the course.
@@kenhuebner7223they are on our list đ
Julian, Starting at about 4:10 you show the cocking and uncococking of the wrists. Do you immediately unlock at the top as youâre doing - like throwing from the top - or does the uncocking come later in the swing?
Thanks for you teaching.
It happens quit naturally around about hip height. I wouldnât start it too early in the downswing but donât hold on to it too long either. Funnily enough Iâve just made a 10 part series on the roll of the wrists for the members of propergolfing.com đ
