Golf is an Art Form

Golf is a physical art form that reflects our individuality, like our signature. Most of us are taught to write with the same handwriting skills in our early school years, but as we learn and mature our signatures change and become unique. Similarly, most of us are taught the same basic mechanics of a golf swing. But as we learn, our swings evolve to reflect our physical capability and understanding of technique. 

Considering how the art of golf becomes a part of us, why do so many players leave the game? Of all the speculation we've heard, the answer we find most intriguing is the frustration of not being able to execute an effective swing that often leads to injury.  

The physical effort of swinging a golf club can injure the unprepared body. In swinging a club the body generates speed that requires mobility and balance. How your body generates force and transfers it into a golf club varies with the person. If there is any fitness limitation that impairs a body's ability to absorb reaction forces, injury is often the result. Golfers often leave the game because of injuries.

A growing number of professionals are finding that the best way to reverse this trend is to incorporate fitness awareness into their teaching. Golfers learn to swing a club in ways that complement the efficient motion of joints and muscles. The ability to swing a club depends on movement patterns common to all of us. Learning how to use them efficiently in a golf swing is the first step towards injury-free golf. 

Our entire analytical approach of a player's swing and golf clubs focuses on understanding how limitations in both can affect performance. Efficient swing biomechanics and golf-specific conditioning are inseparable, and we help players understand their golf signature.
