You are remembered and well respected. I was just wondering yesterday what had become of you. I sincerely hope you have your HgbA1C in a better place.

OK, what if you are neither quick or very strong? At 68 years old my quickness and strength aren't what they once were. I am in fair shape. Not overly over weight though I could lose a few pounds. 6'2" and 195 pounds. Don't say find some other passtime. I love the game. Took it up at 64 and love the guys I play with. One is 77 and his score is always around 85 which I should be able to do. So for me swing or hit?

PS: This is about the only place to get hit information. Every one wants to swing, stack and tilt or one plane.

Decisions, decisions...
Paul,

It is a game of options. Try both to see which one works best for you and you get the most enjoyment. My father who is now 73 carded a 72 two weeks ago. When I asked him which procedure he used he said Swinging. The year before when he won his club championship, he used a Hitting procedure. It is all about what works best for you.

If you are neither strong or quick, try Swinging first. Momemtum Transfer can be a beautiful thing. Whatever procedure you adopt, you have come to the right place to discover what works best for you.

I agree- Swing. Whip that clubhead into a flat left wrist, then swivel But if the ball doesn't stay on the fairways (known to happen), it doesn't take much muscle to move 1.62 oz of space age rubber with a 200- 300 gram hi tech metal clubface either.
