Denver Golf Expo

So today is the last day of the Denver Golf Expo and despite not having my partner Tyler Ferrell here of golffitnessguys.com, it's gone really well!

I presented "Power equals Distance" on friday and saturday and had about 60 attendees and they all seemed to love it!

By the way, if you missed it, feel free to email me and I will send you the presentation so that you can do the tests and use the exercises we recommended to help you get better with your ability to move your body. Remember, a better moving body will allow you to learn and play better golf!

Don't forget about our 3D motion capture weekend next weekend the 19th-21st, when Tyler and I will be using the same technology that TPI uses on all the Titleist tour players to test the effeciency of their games!

CALL SOON to book your time though, cause Saturday is already full!

Sorry it's been a while!

Since we last visited we finished up helping out the players at the Mens Colorado Open, we've been to another TPI certification, except this time I got to participate in the teaching of the class...definately a blast! We went up to the beautiful Red Sky Ranch and put on a 3D full day experience, and the participants loved it!

We have also been out to the Denver Bronco Kids day out at Green Valley Ranch, and helped the players out at the Denver Open, where more of Colorado's best golfers participated in a great tournament that benefitted the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. We definately support this great ministry and the impact it has on our next generation!

Today we were out at a golf tournament that benefitted the Denver Academy which helps kids that struggle in school...another great cause to support!

Tommorrow we will be out at GVR again for the last of the Colorado Open's, this time it is the Seniors trun to "take a whack" at the course, and we will be out there helping them play their best as well!

I hope you have all played well this summer and look forward to the fall golf that's ahead!

Don't forget about Colorado's only golf fitness clinic starting wednesday at 7am and thursday at 5:30pm at our facility. Come in and get the best golf fitness programs in the state!

Stop Whining!

Ok, for those of you who already participate in a golf fitness regimine of some sorts, well, you already know this...for the rest of you, if you really love the game and aren't considering the fitness side of golf, then you are missing the boat!

It is such a bummer how prevalent this problem is! Golfers love the game soo much, yet complain just as much about pain, scores, their high handicap, not improving and all the others that they love to whine about!

I mean really! What other sport our there is there such an attitude like this by amatuer players? Seriously, think about it! Can you think of any sport where a majority of the amatuer players struggle as much as with golf?

I can't.

Which leads me to my point. GET YOUR BUTT INTO THE GYM!

If you start working on making yourself have better posture, flexibility, stabilty, mobility and strength, then YOU WILL be a better golfer!

So suck it up and get started, the benefits are endless and it's only for a half hour a day for gosh sakes!

Swing Fault- "Reverse Spine"

Defined-
Is any excessive upper body backward bend or excessive left lateral upper body bend during the backswing. This swing fault makes it very difficult to start the downswing in the proper sequence, due to the lower body being place in a position that usually limits its ability to initiate the downswing.
This swing fault is also one of the prime causes of lower back pain in golfers!
When the lower body can’t start the downswing or has a limited ability to initiate the movement, the upper body tends to dominate the swing which will eventually create path problems and limited power output. This swing fault puts excessive tension on the lower back due to a forced inhibition of the abdominal musculature during the backswing.

Causes-
1. The ability to seperate the lower body from the upper body allows the shoulders to rotate around the spine w/o going in backward bend or excessive lateral bend. Limited pelvis to trunk separation is usually caused by reduced spinal and shortened lat flexibility.

2. Core stability to help maintain posture and trunk stability is essential. The core helps to keep the trunk forward flexed throughout the golf swing

3. Right hip internal rotation: If the body is unable to rotate around the hip due to joint or muscular restrictions then a lateral sway may occur. Any lateral sway during the backswing will force the spine to tilt into backward bend and create the reverse spine angle (tests- Hip Rotation)
