As a golf instructor it is critical that I be in tune with each one of my students physical make-up. Often, I have students come to me who have been battling a particular problem in their swing only to find out that they are struggling because of a physical limitation. Whether it is a lack of flexibility or a lack of strength in a certain muscle group, diagnosing the problem and addressing it can lead to improved golf swings.

Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Phillips, PGA co-founders of the Titlest Performance Institute have spent countless hours researching all aspects of the golf swing in relation to the body. This knowledge has been put together on a website called MYTPI.com. MyTPI.com is the largest collection of golf-specific health and fitness information from the world's leading experts in the game.

Through MYTPI.com golf professionals like myself are able to offer students a complete golf fitness assessment and custom build a workout program that will help build flexibility and strength in areas that are directly affecting your golf swing.

Winter is a perfect time to begin a program like this mainly because we have the time do commit to the program as we are not able to play due to cold temperatures. Also, when working on your golf swing and physical fitness their will be an adjustment period to get used to the changes in your swing and how your body is working. These changes can be frustrating in the middle of the season because it leads to poor scores. However, if you make these changes during the winter you can come out firing with all cylinders early spring.
