Your new decade of golf, how will it start?

Well it's definately crazy to think that it's been 10yrs already since we were worried about the "electronic" world coming to an end, but here we are!

Here's a challenge to start the new year. Get out whatever information you have from 2000 to today and see how much your game has improved during those 10 yrs, and I wonder if you still have:

1. the same goals
2. the same issues
3. the same struggles
4. the same frustrations
5. the same limitations
6. the same aches and pains
7. more aches and pains
8. a higher handicap
9. and maybe even the same clubs!?

My point in asking you these questions is to see if your game has really improved?

My bet is, is that it is probably the same or a little better, but not as much as you want it to be...am I right?

Well, why start 2010 doing the same thing you have for the past 10 years that has led to at best a mediocre game?

I challenge you to see this moment right now as an opportunity to not only improve your game, but to improve your life!

Wouldn't it be great to make this the year that your REALLY...

1. drop scores
2. hit it farther
3. play with less or no pain
4. be more consistent
5. play other sports or activities that you love with zeal
6. enjoy golf
7. participate in other sports
8. play with your kiddo's
9. etc??

So there's your challenge, will you step up and take it?

If you do, I am here to help you...just get in touch and we'll start your journey together!

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!

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!

Get a team!

You know... as a certified TPI professional, one of our beliefs is...
"We do not believe there is one way to swing a golf club, in fact we believe that there is an infinite number of ways to swing a club. but we do believe there is an effecient way to swing a club and it is based off what the body can do."

I mention this because I have recently been asked by numerous people questions and issues about their swings.

Here's the deal. After years of testing clients in order to create flexibility and conditioning programs and seeing their positive affects on their game; from almost 15,000 amatuer and 1400 tour pros being tested at TPI...the conclusion is...your body affects your swing more than anything else that will prevent your from the success you desire!

So PLEASE, don't just listen to your golf instructor as the ONLY professional that you take advice from to create and perfect your game!

Please know that your body issues will negatively affect your game if you don't address them! Consider a team approach!

Ok, this isn't just about Golf, regardless, you should have a great chiropracter, a great massage therapist, a great golf fitness coach, a great PGA qualified golf instructor and great equipment.

Together this team will not only help you be the best athlete you can be, but the best golfer you can be! Afterall it is the exact team that TPI recommends and it is the same one that I use for my PGA tour winners!

Get your life back!!

Sorry it's been a week!

I didn't know that Arron was going to be here for four days, so I am a little behind!

But, the coolest thing happened while he was here, and I tell you this because I want to encourage you to continue to persue your fitness and performance goals no matter what they are!

Arron came into town down in the dumps about where his body was. It was sore, tired, and his wrist surgery he had last august was still very painful.

But I scheduled him for his appointments to see one of my Chiropracters that I use and he had used before, Doc Trisha Shaar. She found that his hand (left) was contributing to a lack of nuerological communication from the hand and arm to the brain. Knowing this, she referred him to Doc Paul Thom who is a Chiropracter that specializes in extremity adjustments, and let me tell you, he went thru Arron's hand and elbow and adjusted 3 hand bones, and made 2 elbow corrections.

Immediately Arron could move his elbow and hand into positions he couldn't before and with out pain!

Now, the second important part.

I performed my extensive testing and created a program for him (that took 3.5 hrs BTW!), and I got a call from Arron today telling me how great it feels to feel the strength and stability coming back into his arm, shoulder and hand!

So, in the end, even if you have pain or lack of performance...just know that it is happenening to the best of the best athletes in the world, and all you need to do is seek out a great "body" team and be persistant with your care and conditioning program and you to, can live a life that you desire!

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)

It's all up to you!

Happy Saturday!

Today I just want to encourage all of you to stay strong and focused on your programs.

I don't care what you are exercising or training for. Whether it is to lose 40lbs, to decrease your golf handicap by 5 this year, to ride your bike 50 miles at once this summer, or to bring down your high blood pressure...ultimately it is just up to you!

YOU are in charge of your success! Now you can have external sources of motivation, but you still have to be the one to schedule your daily workouts; pick the best food choices for you and your family; teach your kids how to be fit and healthy; and eventually enjoy the fruits of your labor!

So keep training hard and stay focused, cause regardless of your goals, there is a lot at stake!
