Welcome Junior golfers!

Are you ready for some straight talk?

One of the biggest mistakes junior golfers make is not considering the importance of conditioning and nutrition! This actually applies to ALL golfers, but is more important for you young, developing players.

Juniors, from the age of 11 to 19 are in a crucial period in your lives because:

• Your hormones are controlling your body
• Your growth plates are developing
• Your ligaments and tendons are developing
• Your skeletal system is still growing and beginning to mature
• Your “center of gravity” is changing
• Your motor skills are developing
• Your body is seeking to learn how to move correctly

So if all of these things are occurring (and even more you are unaware of), don’t you think they are important considerations when it comes to being a successful golfer?

It is imperative that you learn to train correctly when you are young! Look at Tiger…he started training when he was young, and it certainly paid off! Here’s what he said after winning his 13th major…

"Physical fitness is always a huge advantage, especially when you play any sport and you have heat and anything that wears you down mentally and physically," he said. "When I walked up 18, I felt the same way as I did going off the first tee. I felt great.

"Other guys may have gotten tired and you see their shoulders slumping and dragging a little bit. You should always train hard and bust your butt. That's what a sport is, it is to do that. And not everyone considers golf a sport and they don't treat it as such."

Let’s face it, if you want to be the best, you have to think, act, do and perform like the best!

Do you want to play up to your God given talent?

Do you want to win?

Do you want to develop into a player that can play successfully at the college and even PGA Tour level?

So let’s get going on that road to success together!

Start now!

For you do not know what tomorrow brings!

Welcome Boomers!

So now that I have you here, let’s change your name to “mature golfers!”

As a mature golfing athlete, you will be fighting the opposite of what I have listed for the Juniors. These things include:

• Your hormones are controlling your body- just in the wrong way; lack of testosterone, burnt out adrenal glands from kids and work; and many others that affect how you feel and perform
• Your joints are slowly becoming less healthy
• Your ligaments and tendons are either compensated from injury or are stressed out because of lack of support from the muscular system
• Your skeletal system is compromised with poor posture and is under wear and tear
• Your “center of gravity” has changed because of the seated work place, lack of awareness and muscle compensation
• Your motor skills are decreasing
• Your body is seeking to learn how to move correctly, but is struggling to find how

Not necessarily encouraging?

At this point you might be saying, “Well what do I have to look forward to?”

My answer…a ton! There are hundreds of studies out there that show that men and women as old as ninety can still add muscle, flexibility, balance and coordination, and overall athleticism! My question to you is, “now that you are older, have you maintained your youthful vigor, or are you in pain, can’t play golf as well as you want, and overall feel inadequate compared to how you used to?” If “yes,” then keep reading!

To correct those feelings, CGF will create for you a highly specific conditioning and stretching program that will not leave you guessing and asking yourself the question, “what do I do now?”

We will address all of your health history and consider those issues while performing highly specific bio-mechanical testing such as these tests:

• Spinal angles- important as related to posture
• Comparative range of motion- detecting R/L differences in flexibility
• Analysis of movement
• Primal movement pattern assessment
• Posture analysis
• Core strength and stability assessment
• Flexibility tests through important muscles throughout the body
• Titleist Performance Institute tests to include:
• Address position movement ability
• Ability to separate trunk and hips and upper body
• Glute and core strength
• Shoulder function
• Wrist range of motion
• Strength testing
• Hip mobility

The result of this information…

A very specifically designed program based off of your numbers and issues…NOT someone else’s or by assumption of the trainer! This holds both of us accountable to your results! In fact, it can guarantee them! When I give you a great program and you do it as programmed, you will improve in whatever areas you have a desire to change!

So come on! Get the athlete in you back again! He or She is waiting!
