Our Senior Golf Club Guide highlights which Golf Clubs you should throw away and which are the Best Senior Golf Clubs to Buy. Aussie Golf Pros demonstrates how playing the wrong golf driver, irons or wedges will make golf harder, instead of easier.
It’s time to have a close look at your golf equipment and replace any of the golf clubs you own, with equipment, which is more forgiving and matches your swing speed. Just because the Tour Pros are playing certain golf clubs, that doesn’t mean you should be too!
Glen Haynes shows you which golf clubs, senior golfers should throw away. He also shares his advice on the better options available to you. We bet that after watching this video, you’ll find at least one, if not several clubs in your golf bag, which are making the game harder for you. Let’s ditch any golf clubs which are making golf too much of a challenge. Upgrade poorly fitted golf clubs today and enjoy your golf more!

Steve Gannon and Glen Haynes created Aussie Golf Pros to provide a learning platform for golfers of all levels. They post content regularly on social media accounts. Their website, www.aussiegolfpros.com, includes blogposts, golf coaching series and links to great programs. New content, videos and downloads are added regularly.
Golf Coaches, Not Teachers
The Aussie Golf Pros are holistic coaches in every sense of the word. Steve and Glen are both fully qualified members of the PGA of Australia and are avid students of the Sports Sciences. Together, they are certified in Advanced Golf Coaching, Golf Psychology, TPI (Body-Swing Connection), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Personal Development and Skill Acquisition.
Steve and Glen are not ‘Method’ coaches. They recognise that there are literally 1000’s of ways to swing a golf club! Rather than try to ‘change’ your swing, their goal is to help You Be The Best Golfer You Can Be!
Skill Development vs Technical Changes
Although technique is an important factor in improving a golfer’s performance, Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice towards improved performance.
External Focus of Attention
Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common suggestions might include increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These are all factors of the golf swing, which many golfers and teachers consider important. However, as they are focused internally, on movements of the body, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process.

I have TaylorMade irons 2008 Tour Preferred irons.
Thoughts?
I’m not a senior but have a bad back etc and swing like one. Thanks for this content. Can’t wait for part 2.
Thanks Glen, really enjoyed that, looking forward to part 2, so far I have passed the test, but won’t speak too soon
So true but doesn't have to be Cleveland of course – they are super clubs no doubt !
Thanks !
My irons are over 50 years old, but then so are the rest of the clubs, I love 'em.
(A chipper is a lifesaver for those of us who have the chipping yips.)
Hi Glen thought get some new info,but alas I already have bag close to what you recommend.
Ping Driver 12deg
Callaway fairway woods 15 deg 19 deg.
Callaway hybrid 21 deg.
Callaway irons big Bertha 4-W
Wedges RTX 588 48 & 52 10 deg bounce.
Rife Barbados putter 380 grams.
They suit me well for + 65 golfer.
BS !
I have a 40 year old set of Mizunos and a newish set of Wilson cavity backs. There is definitely not that much difference in distance between the two 7 irons. In fact, a recent range session showed they were both around 150 yds. Both sets have similar lofts, weak compared to modern game improvement irons. Is it possible the lofts on the two tested clubs were significantly different?
What a ridiculously silly piece.
What BULL SHIT!!………..That is why they call you moron's down under, that's where you belong!!!
Do you really not know that "modern" irons have jacked-up lofts so that today's 7 iron will have the loft of a 1970s 5 iron? Perhaps you are just a hacker, unable to manage proper clubs.
Agree wholeheartedly about the age of irons. I just recently "trashed" a set of 18 year old Callaway X16 Pro with stiff steel shafts. I am now 70 yo and cannot play stiff shafts with the reduced club head speed I now own…I replaced them with graphite shafted Callaways and my game has improved. One thing to note however on the distance gain. Older irons had significantly higher lofts than today's new irons. My 5 iron loft on my old clubs was 27 degrees. My new 5 iron is 21 degrees which was the same loft as my old 3 iron!!! Yes the tech and shaft helps but the distance gained might be a bit skewed because if the loft gains …..FYI: Hate chippers waste of a bag hole!
Please keep your chipper so much easier than any wedge around the green.
I just turned 73 and am playing with a set of Mizuno T-Zoid irons from 2000 3i – PW, 52°, 58°, 64° and hitting them better and farther than I could have back in the mid 80s when I started with a similar set of Browning Premier irons because back in 2008-11 I learned how accelerate the club head effortless by studying Hogan’s swing and adopting his waggle action the the downswing, learning to ‘hammer’ the lead edge of the clubhead down 1/8” deep in the turf just letting the ball get in the way and the loft of the face take care of getting up in the air.
I’ve show my other senior players that concept for generating club head speed effortless without loosing balance in the finish which is really the root cause of weak swings. If the way you swing threatens you with falling forward on your toes or nose in the downswing and finish your REFLEXIVE brain in going to: 1) decelerate the club head before impact, and 2) when you are pulled off balance try to steer the club head mass to where it isn’t pulling you off balance which is what actually causes slices and hooks instead of a nice controlled draw °) or fade (° back to target.
I realized poor balance was the root cause of weak swings in 2008 when retired and took a job as a starter at a public course. I’d sit on the first tee and watch people teeing off, usually slicing their first shot right ( not realizing they had been pulled off balance because of the way our primitive brains try to fix the problem by steering the club with the hands or decelerating it. After loosing the ball to the woods on the right they would usually compensate by aiming stance left but swinging hands at target straight ahead hitting a ‘duck hook’ That pattern is so common in beginners it is called “military golf’ because of the way an noob hits to the right then the left then the right again not having a clue the root cause of the problem is the club force pulling them off balance— the longer the club the greater the unbalancing force.
Yes. You should pay obscene prices for new “technology” that lets you hit the ball further into the rough. What a load of crap. Keep using your classic clubs and get some lessons.
Never understood the chipper. All it does is take the place of another club you can have in the bag that will do more than one thing.
Bit of a stretch. Selling clubs in a funny hat.
If play a wide range of courses it pays to have 2 different bounce lob wedges.
The high bounce one you descibed will work on soft fluffy fairway and kykuyah grass but get to links course or bent grass the club will thin every time.
Here we use cleveland 588 with 60 deg and 8 deg bounce.
My other wedge is a fourteen 58/ 12 for winter as dont want low bounce digging in
Still using my 1996 callous X 12's, with minor upgrade,
Bought a lob wedge a year later, ( hardly used, )
Ditched big bertha war bird driver, new driver, Calloway, four to five years old.
Two years ago, bought a seven wood, Calloway.
Inherited three and four hybrid,
Galloway 3, and 5 woods, 1996.
mini driver 13.5 degrees. regular driver 12 degrees.
greetings from belgium
Excellent recommendation Glen on what clubs the senior golfer should take out of their bags and what clubs they should put in. As an 87 year old senior golf, I realized a long time ago that I needed to keep up with technology. I took the steel shafted irons and long irons out of my bag and inserted graphite shafts and hybrids. Lately I have gone to a hybrid style iron and wider soled sand wedge and gap wedge. It has made the game a lot more enjoyable! Well Done Glen! This video should help a lot of seniors with upgrading their golf game.
Dear Bloke in purple pants. I currently game a set of Taylormade RAC irons. The shafts are original and the heads are in beautiful condition, though I have always updated my grips every 2 yrs. Like any golf club they require practice to use them. Those 30 yr old forgiving irons are spectacular in every way. I play off between 2 and 5 depending upon how much I golf. I have a new set of irons and they are wonderful, but to say the old irons should not be in anyone's bag? I couldn't disagree more. I bought them for $150 bucks and I won't be getting rid of them any time soon. I even still use the PGF V8 titanium driver they came with and I can consistently hit 260 to 280 metres. That's 286 – 310 yrds. Thanks for your opinion in purple pants. I think you're wrong about quite a few things in this.
New clubs are loft-jacked so the 3,4,5 irons are 25° or less and unhittable.
The PW is 42° so you need four wedges.
No thanks.
72 here. 10.5 driver set at 11, mostly to close a the face a bit. I did buy a cheap chipper for fun recently, but won't likely bag it. But I won't throw it away! 😜 I chip with 8 and 9 iron, 5 hybrid and 9 wood depending on the various factors. Really like the 9 wood when appropriate.
You have an interesting point of view. Those Silver Scots were loved by many 35 years ago. I’m sure a well struck shot would feel as great now as it did then with the right ball.
Of course they go further, less loft.
I have a 10.5* Stealth driver. It goes fairly high and I play a tiny cut. It is in middle-left to middle-right of fairway most of the time.
Well I never it’s another Cleveland
You have to factor in ball design for clubs 25 years old
