Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
– Fitness Training: Virtually all of us have joint limitations that prevent desired movements in our swing. Many have adhered to a very strict exercise plan in hope of achieving more mobility and stability. Unfortunately, these programs have not addressed the culprit, joint immobility.
16 years ago, I met Pam Owens from Houston Texas as first graduates of the Titleist Performance Institute. Together, we formulated packages for students to combine our expertise into an all star winter golf training experience to bring players to the next level.
As an integral part of the offered packages, Pam meets with us via zoom at The Golf House gym. Those who cannot participate live will have a link to access. Having this state of the art methodic at your fingertips is an amazing value.
Our body parts do not work independent of each other. What is happening in the upper body is deeply intertwined with the hips and lower body. It is for this reason our first class gives players life changing movement ability in the scapula and shoulder areas. The second class will focus on the hip, knee, and ankle joints. Just about every golfer I teach desires more ability to use the lower body. This class gives players the engine and understanding on how to improve the movement of the lower body. Finally, for those looking to go all the way, the full package is the first two classes as well as a full three-month subscription to all of Pam’s online classes. I personally participate on the Golf Mobility Club during the winter.
