Golf Performance Evaluation & Fitness Program

Take your game to the next level!

As an avid golfer and life-long athlete himself, Winn Workman, DPT oversees our Golf Performance Evaluation & Fitness Program. Winn is a Titleist Performance Institute Certified professional who will evaluate your whole body to develop a program to optimize your performance on the golf course. Winn combines the Titleist Performance Institute, Board Certified Physical Therapy, Video Swing Assessment and SuperSpeed Golf Training Clubs to create a customized Golf Performance plan for you to work on mobility, strength, power, fitness, or any combination of the above.

As a TPI certified profession, Winn is trained to identify swing faults and help golfers eliminate their physical limitations and barriers, thus optimizing the golfer's ability to physically produce their most efficient golf swing possible. Swing faults may be caused by one or any combination of:

  • Lack of mobility
  • Poor Mechanics
  • Inability to separate upper and lower body motions
  • Poor kinematic sequency and motor control
  • Strength deficits
  • Poor segmental stabilization
  • Poor conditioning

What to Expect at the First Session:

Winn will take you through the Titleist Performance Institute 16-point physical screen to identify physical limitations affecting your golf swing. You will get a physical handicap score with a color-coded system identifying your movements with a grade of red flags, yellow flags, and green flags.

Then Winn will take a slow-motion video to perform a 12-point swing analysis and thorough evaluation to assess body mechanics, muscle activation patterns and golf-specific movements to better identify imbalances, physical limitations, and muscle weaknesses to find characteristics that could potentially be causing an injury or losing distance off the tee.

Next, Winn will use SuperSpeed Golf Training Clubs to get baseline swing speed numbers to assess your power as this is what will help you see results on the course.

Speed x Strength = Power. Winn will get baseline numbers to see how you compare to the norm. GolfWRX How Do You Compare?

Lastly, you will get a 4-week or 6-week personalized strength & flexibility exercise program catered specifically to address your unique limitations and enhance your golf performance.

What to Expect at Follow-Up Visits:

Follow-Up Visits can either be 1, 2 or 3 visits per week. Winn will assess your exercise program to make sure you are performing them correctly and either keep the same program, regress the exercises if they are too difficult or progress the program if the exercises are too easy. You will use our equipment to do specific golf exercises in the clinic that you might not have in the gym or at home to help improve your physical limitations. Winn will work with you on specific golf drills to improve your game.

If you want to become a better golfer, hit the ball straighter, longer, with more consistency and finish each round strong, this is the program for you! Request your golf evaluation today!
