At the Performance Golf Institute, we tie the physical strengths and weaknesses of each golfer to the Kinematics (movement patterns) and requirements of golf. In the past, most instructors believed that there were three components to address for building the ultimate golfer: Instruction in skill; mental to deal with how to handle all the mental stressors that are placed on all great players; and equipment, making sure the golfer is fir properly and has the appropriate set made up. Since Tiger Woods hit the scene in the late 1990’s, that old triangle was replaced by the new hexagon of performance.

Instruction was broken down into three distinct categories: Basic instruction; shot making skills; and course management. The mental and equipment sections are still the same. The big addition was the physical conditioning category. This includes all aspects that can affect performance.

Our approach, which emphasizes the identification of physical limitations and the interventions used to correct them, is the key to improving each clients golf game and continued participation at the highest level. Today’s comprehensive golf fitness evaluation includes: History taking; basic technique evaluation, equipment evaluation; physical conditioning evaluation; interpretation of gathered data; prioritization of the data; development of a treatment plan; report of the findings; prescription of exercise/fitness program. The evaluations we perform and the exercise programs we develop are those utilized by PGA Tour Players through the Titleist Performance Institute.
