5 Things Golfers Get WRONG When Hitting Their Irons — The Old Mexican Fix

The iron fixes from this video, written out properly — The Dependable Fade and The Complete María Golf Library: https://mariahernandezgolf.netlify.ap... Fat one swing, thin the next? Most golfers over 50 blame their age. In this video María goes through the five things she sees golfers get wrong with their irons, and the simple fix for each one — what bare, hard ground taught Lee Trevino, who learned the game in a pasture in Dallas. No new swing, no new clubs. In this video: Thing 1: the ball in the wrong place — let your practice-swing brush mark tell you where it goes Thing 2: trying to lift the ball — let the tilted face do the lifting (the flat-tee check) Thing 3: weight stuck on the back foot — set a small lean toward the target before you swing Thing 4: head buried in your chest — chin up, and what to do if you wear bifocals or progressive lenses For bodies that have changed: a stiff back, a replaced hip or knee, less speed, plus one doorway drill for tonight at home Thing 5, the key: swing only as far as you can come back — why a compact swing repeats, and what it costs Everything is described for a right-handed golfer; left-handers mirror it. Four golf books for golfers over 50: The Dependable Fade (a ball flight you can aim), Free Distance (the driver), The Caddie's Short Game, and The Money Game (the decisions that save shots, only in the complete Library).

"Mexican" in the title refers to where María learned to look at this — Lee Trevino — not to any Mexican method; there isn't one. María is a digital, AI-generated presenter, not a teaching professional. Frank, her old teaching pro, is a character. Educational content: no particular score or distance is promised, and nothing here is medical advice. Work within a comfortable range, stop if something hurts and never force a position that hurts. If you have wrist, back, hip or knee problems, or have had surgery, check with your doctor or physiotherapist before changing how you stand or swing. For questions about your glasses, ask your eye-care professional.
