Golfers at every level run into the same problem: too much knee flex. When that lead knee collapses, it creates a lower-body reverse pivot. The result? Lost stability, poor sequencing, and inconsistent contact.

If you’ve ever wondered why your swing feels powerful some days and flat the next, the answer might come down to two simple keys: how well you load up and how well you follow through. Master these two pieces of the swing, and you’ll start seeing straighter, longer, and more consistent shots.
When it comes to building a powerful, repeatable golf swing, most players start with the club. Grip, shaft, stance — all important. But if your body isn’t set up the right way, none of that matters. The truth is, your swing lives or dies on three simple moves: knee flex, hip hinge, and turn. Nail these, and you’ll finally unlock the athletic, consistent swing you’ve been chasing.
If you're a golfer living in the northern two-thirds of the country, this is a special time of the year. It's no longer dark at 4:30 in the afternoon, weather forecasts stop mentioning snow, and temperatures start to creep into the 50s and 60s. Winter is over and, well, it's time to hit some balls. But just because the calendar is telling you it's almost golf season, it doesn't necessarily mean your body is ready to hit the course. Fear not! Hit IT Great has you covered.
It's kind of ironic that I'm writing a blog about senior golfers on the week of my birthday. These days, birthdays don't seem to have quite the same excitement as they did when I was eight or nine years old. But getting older doesn't mean your golf game can't get a lot more exciting. Golf fitness isn't just for players on The Tour. These 3 simple golf exercises for seniors will not only help improve your game, but they'll also help prevent injury and have you feeling better both on and off the course.
1. Remove the extra parts from your golf swing
2. Increase accuracy off the tee and on the fairway
3. Increase stability on uneven lies
1. Don't squander the few minutes you have before tee time
2. Warm up vertically and rotationally
3. Bring an activated body to first tee instead of trying to find it there
