Seven Oaks Member Steve Espe, an exercise physiologist and ACE-certified personal trainer, has recently become certified as a Titlleist Performance Institute Golf Fitness Instructor. It is well-known by now that fitness is playing an increasingly important role at the elite levels of golf. Exercise science as it pertains to the golf swing is developing at a rapid pace. Golf-specific exercises are important not only for increased power and stamina, but also for preventing the numerous injuries associated with years of swinging a golf club. To this end, TPI (site) has developed an evaluation that tests the mobility of all the joints and associated muscles involved in the golf swing. The certification mentioned above specifies that those who hold it are qualified to perform the evlauation. Based on the results of this 14-point evaluation, specific exercises are recommended that will improve the golfer's ability to perform the golf swing without restrictions that often lead to poor results and/or injury. Until recently, this evaluation has been available only to test available to all golfers in the belief that golfers of all abilities will benefit. This is a great opportunity for all of us weekend golfers to utilize the science to improve our games and to play pain-free for a longer time. The TPI evaluation requires about 40 minutes followed by 20 minutes of instruction in exercises indicated by the evaluation results. The cost is $90.00 for Seven Oaks Members, and $120.00 for non-members. For more information, or to schedule an appointment for evaluation, call Steve at 315-792-0067 or contact .
