There was a time when golf looked very different. A golfer showed up with just their clubs, maybe a swing coach, and that was it. For the most part, they were on their own.
Then Tiger Woods changed everything.
When Tiger started dominating, people noticed something...he wasn’t doing it alone. He had a coach, yes, but also a strength and conditioning program, medical support, and a plan for taking care of his body. He treated golf like the sport it truly is. Now, that’s the standard.
What a Golfer’s Team Looks Like Today
It’s common for golfers to have a full team that might include:
- Swing coach – works on mechanics and technique
- Trainer – builds strength, speed, and endurance
- Chiropractor – keeps the body moving well and pain-free
- Sports psychologist – sharpens the mental game
This may sound like a lot, but here’s the key: when everyone knows their role and works together, the golfer thrives.
Why Communication Matters
At the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), this “team approach” is the foundation. You get the best results when professionals support each other instead of trying to do it all alone.
Here’s how it works:
- If a swing coach wants you to rotate more in the downswing but your body physically can’t rotate, no amount of coaching will fix it. That’s where we come in.
- If a trainer is building speed and power, but you can’t stabilize or your body has an imbalance, those gains won’t show up...or worse, may lead to injury. Again, that’s where we help.
- If you feel pain after practice, by working with us to restore movement and fix the root cause...we keep you training, practicing, and competing without losing momentum.
When the system is organized, no one steps on anyone else’s toes. You end up moving better, feeling better, and performing better.
Our Role on the Team
That’s exactly where Dr. Mark and I come in as TPI medical providers.
Our job is to fix dysfunctions in your body so you can:
- Move the way your swing coach is asking
- Safely gain the strength and power your trainer is building
- Stay resilient and healthy throughout the process
Think of us as the bridge. We connect what your body can do with what the rest of the team wants it to do.
When we’re all aligned - golfer, coach, trainer, medical - the results can be game-changing. Your swing is no longer held back. Instead, you unlock new movement, power, and consistency.
The Big Picture
This isn’t just about golf...it’s about confidence.
When you feel your body is capable, your team is aligned, and progress is happening, then you start playing with more trust. You're able to push your limits. You uncover potential you didn’t know you had.
That’s what drives us.
Our mission is simple: to give you the confidence to move freely and explore your untapped potential.
Because even though golf looks like an individual sport, no great golfer gets there alone!
