The term golfer has been long been linked with nicknames like Lumpy, or the Walrus, but after a few years and 60+ victories, golfers are now seen as Tigers.  We have been shown what better fitness can do for a golf game both on and off the course.  Whether you want to hit the ball further, or just reduce post round aches and pains, golf fitness is becoming a part of how to have more fun playing the game of golf.

Titleist has recognized this growing trend and created the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI). TPI is the premier golf academy in the country training golfers from the top money winners on the PGA tour to golfers with a 30 handicap.  Co-Founders Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Phillips are regularly seen on the golf channels, Golf Fitness Academy, and are seen as THE experts in golf fitness.  Their website, http://www.mytpi.com/, is a one stop shop for learning about ways to improve your golf health and golf game.

Scott Lake is the home of "Where Golf is Fun!" and because golf fitness can help any golfer take greater advantage of that fun, we wanted to alert you to a program that is right in our area.  Pat Sandro is a physical therapist that has been treating individuals of all ages for the past 12 years.  He is also an avid golfer and one of only fifteen individuals in the state of Michigan certified by TPI as a golf fitness instructor.  Combining his physical therapy background, TPI training, and love of golf, Pat has the perfect combination of skills to make golf more enjoyable through fitness.

Pat has created the Scott Lake Fitness Package which will provide you with all the tools to get you started on the road to golf fitness.  The package includes:

  • A comprehensive golf specific evaluation.

  • Unlimited access to the TPI website during the length of the program.  All exercises in the program are accessible on the TPI website with written and video instruction which is easy to follow and perform.
  • 10 bags of range balls at Scott Lake Country Club to work on the exercises provided by Pat and TPI.
  • Cost of the program is $170.
