Another 18 Golf

Another 18 Golf I help golfers over 40 hurt less, move better, and keep golfing for decades. Virtual coaching nationwide.

Movement testing, swing analysis, and personalized strength and mobility training help you play more, recover better, and trust your body again.

If you sway away from the ball or slide toward the target, it’s easy to keep working on the swing.
But sometimes the missing piece is strength.
Having enough hip rotation is only part of the equation. You also need enough strength around the outside of the hip to control the pelvis and thigh while you use that motion.
In the backswing, the trail hip has to accept load without the pelvis simply drifting away from the target.
Coming through, the lead hip has to accept force and give you something stable to rotate around.
A golfer can have plenty of hip mobility and still struggle to control it without shifting, dropping, or losing balance.
That doesn’t mean weak hips automatically cause a sway or slide.
It means mobility alone isn’t enough.
Build the strength to control the motion you already have, and you give your swing more options.

There are a lot of ways to improve.

Better equipment can help. A good golf instructor can help. And both are important.

But there’s another piece: the body making the swing.

That’s the one I work on.

When your back keeps tightening up, your hip starts bothering you, recovery takes longer, or your body begins deciding how much golf you can play, the answer isn’t always another swing change.

Sometimes your body needs more mobility, more strength, more control, or simply more capacity to handle the amount of golf you want to play.

My job is to figure out what your body needs and help you build it.

So you can hurt less, golf more, and keep doing it for decades to come.

If your swing keeps feeling tight or inconsistent, it’s easy to keep trying to fix the swing.
Another lesson. Another drill. Another swing thought.
But if your body can’t comfortably get into or control the positions you’re asking for, those changes can be difficult to repeat.
That’s why I like to start by looking at the body.
Where are you limited? What feels tight or uneven? What can you get into but not control well?
I put together 5 foundational movements every golfer over 40 should be able to do as a simple place to start answering those questions.
They won’t tell you everything, and they’re not a one-size-fits-all program. But they can give you useful information about what your body may need more of.
Comment “GOLF” and I’ll send them to you.
Or if you’d rather grab them now, the free guide is linked in my bio.

By the time a lot of golfers reach me, they’ve already tried stretches, strengthening exercises, YouTube routines, and plenty of things that sounded like they should help.
Some helped a little. Some did nothing. And it can be hard to know why.
That’s why I don’t start by handing someone a list of exercises.
I first test what their body can and can’t do.
Is the limitation mobility? Strength? Coordination? Power?
If you don’t have the motion, simply getting stronger may miss the problem. If you already have the motion but can’t control it, stretching more may not be the answer.
The same-looking problem can require very different work.
The goal isn’t more exercises. It’s a clear plan built around what your body actually needs so it can better support the golf you want to keep playing.
Find what’s driving it. Work on what matters.

If you chicken wing through impact and that lead elbow keeps hurting, it makes sense to focus on the elbow.
And sometimes the elbow does need work.
But forearm exercises may not be the whole answer.
I also want to know what the rest of the body is asking that arm to make up for.
If the lead shoulder can’t rotate enough, or the lower body isn’t contributing well, the arm may have to find another way to keep the clubface square through impact.
That changes what the elbow is being asked to handle, swing after swing.
So don’t just chase the spot that hurts.
Find what’s driving the pattern, address what your body actually needs, and give the arm a better option through impact.

Two golfers can have the same chicken wing and need completely different work.
For one, the lead shoulder may not rotate enough, so the arm folds to help get the club through impact.
For another, the lower body may not be generating or transferring enough power, so the arms have to do more of the work.
Same look on video. Different reason.
That’s why a drill you found online might be perfect for one golfer and do very little for another.
Don’t just work on what the swing looks like.
Find what’s driving it before you try to fix it.

If your lead arm keeps folding through impact, it’s easy to treat it like a swing flaw and just try harder to keep it straight.
But for some golfers, the body may be limiting the position you’re trying to create.
If the lead shoulder doesn’t have enough rotation, the arm can compensate to help the club get through impact.
That’s why a swing cue can make perfect sense but still be difficult to repeat.
The goal isn’t to force your body into a position it doesn’t have. It’s to find out what’s actually limiting you, build what you need, and give your swing more options.

“I wish I had started sooner.”
That is the part of this story that stays with me.
He had played golf his whole life, but nagging low-back and glute pain sent him down the golf-fitness rabbit hole and pulled him in 15 different directions.
Once we assessed what his body could and could not do, we built the mobility, strength, and control he actually needed.
As the work progressed, he was able to practice as much as he wanted, and his swing was faster and better than it had been in years.
The goal is not another random workout or another collection of tips. It is replacing guesswork with a clear, personalized plan so your body can keep up with the golf you love.

I’m grateful to Golf Association of Philadelphia and Tony Regina for featuring Ann McLaughlin - Doctor of Physical Therapy and me in the Summer 2026 issue.

Golf is rarely just golf. It can be a trip someone has been looking forward to, a weekly round with a lifelong friend, or an important connection they don’t want to lose.

Ann and I serve different people, but we share the same belief: what you do for your body now shapes what you’ll be able to do years from now.

It is never too late to move better. You can always get stronger.

Thank you to Howard and Dave for trusting me and sharing their stories, and to everyone who has supported this work along the way.
