Every year around this time, I like to get my golf game in order, so I feel great about my game heading into fall.
As a golf instructor, I’m lucky enough to see how my students can progress throughout the spring and summer months, but I also try not to forget to continue their growth into fall and winter. As an exercise physiologist, and a Titleist Performance Institute golf fitness specialist, I’ve got a keen eye for faulty movement patterns. I spend most lessons diagnosing bad swings based on bad movements, rather than just poor use of the golf club.
Here are a few of the most common tips I share with students, so you can improve your golf game moving into the fall:
If you’re not sure that you made progress during this summer’s golf season, search for a TPI certified golf fitness specialist in your area (like me!). We perform TPI mobility screenings, video swing analysis and provide personalized golf fitness programs to optimize your golf muscles. We team up with local golf professionals for golf lessons at the Highlands Golf and Tennis Center, just across the street from Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Additionally, if you have a golf related injury or an injury is stopping you from playing, we team up with the TPI certified medical professionals at Washington University Physical therapy, located next door to Move.
