Golf fitness for golfers 40+ · TPI Level 3
For golfers 40+ · 1:1 coaching
Your swing isn't what's costing you yards. A hip, mid-back or shoulder that stopped rotating is. I find which one with a TPI screen, then train it in the order that holds up on the course.

Free 30-minute call. You leave with your 6-month plan whether we work together or not.
Follow the program for 6 months and add 20+ yards to your driver, or I keep coaching you free until you do.
Sound like you?
Every one of these came from a call with a golfer who's now a client.
None of this gets worse overnight. You lose a few yards a year and get used to it. A year from now you've either sorted it, or you're reading a page like this again with another five yards gone.
The problem was never your swing
If your trail hip won't rotate, or your mid-back has locked up from years at a desk, your body finds the turn somewhere else. Usually that's your lower back and lead shoulder. That's where the pain comes from, and it's why the yards went.
Most golfers try to fix it in one of two ways. They stretch, which gives them range for an hour. Or they lift in the gym, which makes them stronger in the range they already had. Neither one carries over into the swing.
The DRIVE method
Most golfers get stuck in the R and the I, which is why nothing they've tried has stuck.
Diagnose
A full TPI screen before a single exercise is written. Hips, mid-back and shoulders, and whether you can move them separately.
Restore
We get back the range you're missing. This is usually where the pain eases.
Integrate
You get strong in that new range so it holds when you swing at speed. Range you can't hold under load isn't range you own.
Velocity
The swing happens in about a second, so now we train speed with med balls, cables and ground force. This is where the yards show up.
Execute
We take it to the course. Same clubs, same swing, and a body that's stopped fighting it.
Three sessions a week, 45 minutes each, plus a 10–15 minute mobility routine every day. Gym or home.

Your 6 months
Weeks 1–12
Build the foundation
We start with your TPI screen over video, and your program is built from what it shows. Then the goal is to have you looking, moving and feeling better.
We use unilateral movements to build muscle and mobility, so you can get into positions in your swing you haven't been able to reach in years. Most golfers notice they're less stiff on the first tee and less sore the next morning well before the 12 weeks are up.
Months 3–6
Strength, speed, power, performance
This is when your playing partners start asking what you've changed.
We add strength to the muscle you've built, then use sequencing exercises to turn that strength into rotational power in your swing. This is where the yards show up.
The receipts
Peter · Stiff back, tight hips
Irons +10–15 metres
Sceptical of online coaching when he started. His ball striking changed in the first month.
“I'd had all the great golf gear and all the good technology. I chose to invest in my body, probably the most important bit of equipment you've got.”
Dan · Triple bypass, spinal fusion, both hips and both knees replaced
Driver 180 → 230 yards in 5 months
He'd accepted that his days of working out were behind him. He started at 180 off the tee. Five months in, his longest drive was 230.
“I don't think I've felt this good in five, six, seven years.”
Justin · Two young kids, trains in his garage · 6 months
Lost 35 lb. His pitching wedge now goes as far as his old 7-iron.
When he finally booked a golf lesson, he could get into every position his pro asked for. In his own words, from the messages he sent us:
More golfers, in their own words
Devin
Driver 200 → 270 yards in 6 months
Brian
From sciatica pain to walking 18 holes pain-free
Erik
His TPI screen found the problem. No more duck hooks or pulls left.
Mark
57 and rotating again after 10 weeks
Rick
More range and flexibility, and his swing feels better
Thomas
Less pain and more distance from a program built for his body

Your coach
TPI Fitness L3 · TPI Power L3 · TPI Golf L2 · ASCA L1 S&C · CrossFit L2 · Certified PT · Trigger Point Therapy Cert · ex-ADF avionics engineer
750+ golfers coached across the US, UK, AU, NZ and ZA.
I do this because I want every golfer to be able to play as much golf as they like without their body being the thing that stops them.
Before coaching I was an avionics engineer in the ADF, where you never fix an aircraft by guessing which part is broken. You test it first. I coach golfers the same way.
1:1 coaching. Six months. Built by hand.
Your program is written for your body after the screen, adjusted every week, and you can message me directly. Travelling and the hotel gym is useless? Message me and I'll swap the session. Not sure your form is right? Send a video and I'll mark it up and send it back.
The guarantee
In week 1 we measure your driver on a launch monitor and take the average of 5 drives, so we both know where you started. Follow the program for 6 months. If that average isn't at least 20 yards further, I'll keep coaching you for free until it is.
Following the program means doing your three sessions a week and sending in your check-ins.
