Have you ever wondered why you have lesson after lesson but whatever your coach instructs you to do just doesn’t feel natural or easy to achieve or maintain? This may be because your body physically cannot do what your coach is asking it to do! Without diagnostic testing you may not know what is stopping you and your coach cannot adapt your instruction until he/she knows…
This is where our golf screening really becomes helpful!
Clinic founder Gayle Cotton became a certified Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Screening Professional in 2016 after completing her training at the prestigious Belfry PGA National Golf Academy. Combining a lifelong passion for golf with a keen understanding of biomechanics, Gayle has developed a specialist interest in helping golfers improve performance, reduce injury risk, and move more efficiently. Over the years, she has worked with golfers of all abilities, from dedicated amateurs to elite professionals, using TPI screening principles to identify physical limitations that may affect the golf swing. Her experience includes working alongside local golf professionals George Mason and Sam Rook, DP World Tour player Ben Schmidt, and respected national junior coach James Freeman. Gayle’s expertise allows her to bridge the gap between physical health and golf performance, helping players achieve their potential both on and off the course.
The Golf Screening Process takes you through 16 functional tests, each one relates to part of the golf swing. For example the 90:90 Test shown below which assesses how each shoulder joint can achieve rotation and how stable the scapula or shoulder blade is during the set-up and swing position. This screening test is designed by Titleist and is the same test used at their research facility in California and applied to some of the top professional players on the world tour. They use these same diagnostics to identify strengths and weaknesses throughout the season and inbetween.
Once the screening is complete, a Muscle Activation assessment is also carried out. This will highlight how you use muscles during the golf swing which will identify a neurological reason why certain swing characteristics can’t be achieved. Muscle Activation and exercise prescription can then follow on to help you engage the correct muscles and build power where necessary to create a more efficient and consistent swing which may reduce any frustrating repetitive injuries.
