» The question a golf coach must consistently deal with is how to persuade their student to stop hitting from the top without becoming too technical or offering more advice than can be absorbed just in one session. I'm aware of five ways of conveying this feeling, one of which is to ask the student to try and hit the ball on the toe of the club for a while.

Walking keeps senior golfers' legs strong, and strong legs make for a more powerful swing.
