I've only worked with one golfer who was a 70 year old that played in a lot of local senior tournaments. My biggest challenge was convincing him to cut down on the number of times per week he was exercising. Once I taught him about over training, I had him do a simple full body routine with dumbbells 2-3 times per week. Specifically for golf I had him do some tai chi waist turns to help him transfer power from his legs through his core; and some forearm work for club head speed. In only a few weeks, he was beaming about a 15 yard increase on his drives. Not bad for a 70 year old.
Yeah, basing it only on golfers might be tough, but if the golf club is also a country club with tennis, spa, etc., and you can get some of those clients or get in as a trainer there, then it might be great.
