“We don’t believe there is one way to swing a golf club; we believe there are an infinite number of ways to swing a golf club.  But we do believe that there is one efficient way for everyone to swing and it is based on what they can physically do.”

This is the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) golf philosophy, but what does it mean and how does it apply to you?  Every individual golfer has certain physical movement patterns they excel at and other movement patterns they are limited by.  For example, some individuals can easily touch their toes and others don’t stand a chance.  These movement patterns predetermine how we move in everyday life such as walking, gardening, running, lifting groceries, and swinging a golf club.  The TPI certified exercise physiologists at Saratoga Health and Wellness understand these movements patterns and how they relate to the golf swing.

So, how do we gauge what you can physically do?  Our Titleist Performance Institute physical screening assesses the body’s movement patterns as they relate to golf.  During the first consultation, our TPI certified staff will not only discuss the details of your golf game, but perform a comprehensive 11 point golf screening.  The screening is focused on key physical movement patterns necessary in an efficient golf swing.  We then use the 11-point TPI golf screening results to outline an exercise plan targeting your biggest physical weaknesses, discuss how these physical weaknesses can affect your golf swing, and give you the exercises to improve on those limitations.

This same Titleist Performance Institute system has been used by the PGA tour pros and their team of instructors for years and now the amateur golf has access to the same personal instruction.  If you are an enthusiastic golfer or know someone who is, this program is a must.  If you have questions about TPI or would like further information regarding the golf program at Saratoga Health and Wellness, please contact us at [email protected].
