As a physical therapist niched in golf, I am uniquely situated in two private country clubs, as well as, working with public golfers in a gym. I am always looking for more equipment to use with my clients during their sessions, as well as, on the course with friends or members. Starting this spring I am working with an assistant pro at a member club on a fitness golf course. This course will work on biomechanics and swing changes to improve the players distance and consistency. I have always felt like one of the DTC clubs would be great to test and show all of the members at the local clubs.

everything is a new club when you have Hogan Apex blades and a callaway big bertha in the bag.

I need to do better with that too, I have only really done quality replies. It is hard for me to do the simple replies.

I just recently found out that the assistant pro I train who got a new set of Srixon irons last year (for free) was offered a new set of Ping irons (for free) cause the ladies at the club play ping. She also had a choice of Mizunos, and I was like, hey why not the PT that works at two clubs? We will see what the Mizuno rep thinks of that. Point is, I didn't realize how club pros get free sets wedge through drivers to promote the clubs!

Like previous commentors mentioned. You are probably adjusting with your body for the injury. Everybody naturally compensates after injury and retraining the movement pattern is the hardest part of the job. Videoing is a great way to get some feedback. Also looking for an assessment from a knowledgable PT associated with golf is a good step. I find most back injuries are due to hip/pelvis restriction and overuse of the lower back.

I like the secondary setup. Would use this with clients. I am a golf physical therapist. Teach a swing speed class every Monday at one private club. Will start teaching another class at a second club in January. See clients at both clubs and at a gym in town. currently use a skytrak at one club and my pdgr at the other club, when testing swing speed and such.

I like this! For me, probably looking at the yellow, 415 yard tees. 2i off the tee aiming at the mound on the right side. If it is hit perfect, then I’m sitting on the mound at 150 yards in, if I catch it a little fat, then it is safe and I am hitting a longer iron in. Second shot would be a 8-9 iron depending on 150-160 yard distance and wind. Probably 3 putt after I’m there for a bogie.

From what I am seeing I am the opposite of most with the Europeans winning. What Player Will Have the Most Points: Hovland What Player Will secure the Clinching Point on Sunday: Rory McIlroy

That is where I am at, Pitching wedge, 54, and 60

A lot of what I prescribe for gym work is dependent on an assessment with a client. I have created a couple of basic programs for clients, would love to hear what you think of them. Here is a basic program for a client that is a 4 day program with focus on golf - Click Here I am working on building a golf specific training program for everyone online and hope to drop it on September 3rd or around there.

Oh, I like the driving iron place... I am a big long iron player, especially with tee shots. Either 2 iron or 5 iron off the tee to make sure of a fairway, instead of driver slicing into the houses, but we're working on that.

Thanks for saying that, from a physical therapy perspective, most people go the other direction.

That’s really where it lands for me. From my design background, I hated carts and the result of them, cart paths. Just changes the visuals of the hole. From the play stand point, I think we hit on the slowness of carts with ready play not being completed by most cart golfers. I like to walk and carry for the “ruck” exercise. It also connects me more with the outside and gives me time to think. Now I have walked a course in Charleston that had such big transitions between holes, it was a lot. There were some holes that could fit another par 4 or 5 in between them.

I feel like when it is cart path only they should encourage walking and or using a pull cart. But honestly, I think the research shows slower pace of play with a cart than walking. This could be flawed, as walkers are usually more seasoned players and sometimes better players.

Yes! That I was just taking it a step further, because I feel like the cart has exacerbated that. When walking most people split up and go their ball, improving the shot time, but with a cart, most people drive to the first ball and then wait to drive to the second ball. When I am forced to use a cart I usually drop my playing partner off at their ball and either walk to mine with one or two clubs or take the cart and have them walk back to the cart. This is better than going to my ball and then having them sit there waiting on me.
