Instruction — Fit to a Tee

This unique program represents the marriage of two important aspects of the game of golf: fitness training and swing instruction. It is being offered during the winter months at the RMH Wellness Center with the intention of achieving three main goals: more enjoyment of golf with an improved swing; increased ability to play well (and without injury) due to physical training; and improved fitness for life in general.

 

Fit to a Tee was partly inspired by other national and local golf fitness programs, but this program stands out for a few reasons. Cost—you could easily pay four times as much for the same number of sessions in another program. Also, Fit to a Tee is being offered as a partnership between golf professional and personal trainer, not just one or the other.

 

The fitness part of Fit to a Tee focuses on several important areas: Cardiovascular Endurance, Balance & Posture, Flexibility & Mobility, and Strength. We start with an evaluation to identify weaknesses in these categories and then develop a program specifically designed to fix them.

 

Similarly, the golf part of the program begins with an extensive evaluation (including video) of the swing. Functional drills are designed to help each golfer develop new habits and a simpler, more efficient swing.

 

Fit to a Tee has a new structure in 2012 and it offers 14 total sessions for $325 ($249 for RMH Wellness Center Members). On the fitness side of the program participants will take 3 private sessions and 4 small-group sessions; and they can pick from the following areas of focus: strength, flexibility, balance, cardiovascular endurance, and nutrition. On the golf side of the program participants will take 5 private sessions and 2 small-group sessions, picking from the categories of accuracy, power, and short-game. Sessions will begin January 9, 2012 and run until late March.

The Fit to a Tee group moves from the gym to the driving range as spring arrives.
