TPI POWER GOLF CLINICS

Who is this program for? This program benefits people actually serious about golf. It is not a quick fix and you will only get results if you practice on the schedule and are committed to the process.
To get started you will be screened so that we may hand tailor the program to your current abilities.
We will have sessions with overspeed training. Overspeed training is a great opportunity to help you swing faster, not harder. There will be recovery time between sessions so that your body may adjust.
Power class will improve your swing/ball speed. Your balance may improve. You may develop an easy routine to play golf for years. The theory is that you will only accelerate to the point of which your body knows you can safely decelerate.
You will only get results if you stick to the full 6 week program.
Beginning February I will begin offering Golf Power Clinics twice a week. Please call for availability. Each session is limited to six participants.
Six week sessions will be $250 each participant.

TPI SCREENINGS

Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) is the world's leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. The screening evaluates current performance and ranges of motion with muscles relevant for successful golf athletes.  TPI screening is a nationally recognized evaluation of golfer's motor skills to carry out the movements they intend to make. 

TPI does not believe in one way to swing a club, rather in an infinite number of swing styles. But, we do believe there is one efficient way for every player to swing and it is based on what the player can physically do.

Once this screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for that golfer. The plan may include fitness training, physical therapy and treatment, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics, nutrition, mental strategy or all of the above.
