Golf science

The Golf Science Development Programme has been designed to provide total game improvement, equipping you or your squad with the tools to maximise your golf potential.

Using sport science theory and application, you will gain valuable knowledge, learn new skills, and experience elite-level support. We will show you how to transfer these skills onto the course for improved golf performance.

Our practitioners work with England Golf, and professionals from the EuroPro, Challenge, and European Tours.

Golf science - for teams

Golf science - for individuals

Why golf science? 

Traditionally, golf has been seen as a 'gentleman’s game' with little need for physical, nutritional or psychological intervention. However in modern times the need for physical and mental preparation has increased radically. This is largely due to improvements in club and course technologies that allow players to swing harder and faster, hit the ball further and play more frequently on increasingly longer courses.

In addition, many of the world’s top players have realised the need for physical and mental preparation and this is beginning to filter down to county and junior levels.

With this in mind, golf is becoming a more athletic pursuit, and therefore, you should train like an athlete. Proper physical and mental conditioning should not only improve your performance on the course, but decrease your chance of injury, and improve your general health and feelings of wellbeing.
