Play Golf Forever: A Physiotherapist's Guide to Golf Fitness for the Over-50s | Panoma Press

Why this book helps you stay on the course longer

Play Golf Forever offers a practical approach to aging gracefully while keeping golf at the forefront. Suzanne Clark brings 30 years of physiotherapy experience to readers who love the game and want to stay active. The book explains in plain terms how the body works during a golf swing, a walk across the green, and daily routines, plus practical ways to feel steadier, stronger, and more comfortable on the course.

Instead of forcing dramatic changes, the guidance shows how to strengthen key muscles as part of everyday tasks. You’ll find simple drills and habits you can weave into daily life—whether you’re preparing for a round in the morning, commuting, or cooking at home. Each chapter breaks down golf-specific needs, injury prevention, and clear steps to take if something doesn’t feel right, making the guidance approachable for readers over 50.

What you gain from the book is framed as possibilities, not guarantees. Readers may notice improved posture and balance, smoother turns, and easier movement across the clubhouse walk. The tone prioritizes safety, gradual progress, and realistic routines that fit real-life schedules without requiring drastic overhauls.
