The world of golf has traditionally been perceived as a male-dominated sport, with men’s tournaments receiving the lion’s share of attention and resources. However, South Africa is witnessing a remarkable shift in the dynamics of golf, as women’s participation and success in the sport have soared in recent years.
The aim of the TPI movement screening is to detect any physical limitations in the body that may prevent a golfer from getting into favourable positions in the swing and to recognise injury risks and compensatory patterns,which will directly affect ball strike.

The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) level 1 movement screen test identifies how limitations in your body can lead to certain swing faults.

A dynamic warm-up specific to golfers is designed to build your mobility and stability,
activate the muscles you will use, and get your body ready for the powerful and complex movements of the golf swing.

The core includes the abdominal, back and gluteal muscles. Your core is a dynamic stabilizer in all three planes of movement which allows for transfers of force from one muscle to another as well as a ‘shock absorber’ for injury.

This is my fourteenth year of recovery from an incurable dreaded disease, Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I was at a dead end in terms of my health. I very nearly was confined to a wheelchair. I was declared medically unfit to work and was left expecting the worst. Modern medicine offered me no hope to recover.

Golf is also more appealing as it is less vigorous and a good way to keep active, but don’t underestimate the amount of stress it places on the body.

The golf swing is a very repetitive movement throughout the 18 holes and majority of injuries are due to overuse.
