About Fitness Golfer

Quite simply, Fitness Golfer is all about one thing... improving one's golf game. It is an all-encompassing Golf Performance Program designed to allow golfers to reach their full potential. It includes swing analyses, physical evaluations, teaching instruction and functional, golf-specific fitness programs. Many golfers practice and take lessons, but few incorporate fitness into their routine. A well-designed fitness program, specific to each individual, can propel a golfer to the next level.

PGA Tour professionals are well aware of the importance of a fitness program for golf. Players recognize that being in top physical shape is paramount to good performance.

Physical therapists and athletic trainers travel with the professional players to address all of their healthcare needs. This includes evaluating their injuries and prescribing rehabilitation programs to get them back on the course as quickly as possible and developing maintenance programs including flexibility and strengthening to prevent injury. Other responsibilities are constructing complete fitness programs including balance & stability training, motor control and movement pattern training, core stabilization and trunk strengthening, cardiovascular endurance and strength and power training.

How can the Fitness Golfer performance program compliment the teaching professionals? Fitness Golfer strongly believes that a golf performance program will never reach its full potential or truly become a strong program without the instructional component from a teaching professional. Our background and knowledge comes from researching the swing from a biomechanical or anatomical point of view. We do not pretend to be golf professionals and are not in the business of giving clients lessons or instructions to change their swing unless it is physically damaging. Once a golfer achieves more flexibility, strength, balance or more efficient movement patterns, these attributes will not be completely effective without proper instruction on their 'new' swing mechanics. On the other hand, if a teaching pro is unable to get a desired result from a client due to a physical restriction, limitation or weakness, a fitness program may be the answer he or she is looking for. Therefore, strong relationships must be built and solid lines of communication developed between the instructional pro and the Fitness Golfer practitioner. These referral patterns will open the gates for more clients for both the golf professional and the healthcare professional, while providing the best possible package for the most important person, the golfer.
