  SERVICE REVIEW:  DR. MIKE FITZSIMMONS ProActive Spine and Movement 2761 E Trinity Mills Rd; Suite #100, Carrollton, TX 75006 As a PGA Golf Professional, it’s important my body is able to move properly. Whether it’s playing the game I love, or helping others through coaching or club fitting, I’m constantly on my feet, moving, bending, twisting, and loading high levels of force on my body. With a minor herniation in my lower back, I’ve had a history of back injuries that creep in from time to time and take me away from what I love doing most. Over the years I’ve gone to see a handful of Chiropractors and have usually had less than desirable experiences. Dr. Mike Fitzsimmons of ProActive Spine and Movement, however, is different. Dr. Mike’s approach is more than just a “rack n’ crack.” While manipulations are part of his toolbox of techniques for improving the way you move, it’s only one of the many tools he uses. Blending traditional chiropractic techniques with physical thera...

To improve your game from the inside out, you must focus on the 5 pillars of performance and incorporate them into your daily routine. Mindset: Your mindset will make you or break you.

  WHAT IS MOBILITY? (And how to fix it) INTRODUCTION A lot has changed in the golf world over the last few decades. Golf balls have gone from Balata covers and wound cores to Urethane covers and multiple solid cores. Golf clubs have gone from persimmon to steel to titanium and now carbon fiber. Golf shafts have gone from inconsistent and unpredictable to incredibly dialed in with precision manufacturing. Golf fitness training has gone from doing a few curls at the 19th hole to actually getting in a gym and working hard with a trainer. We see guys like Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, or Brooks Koepka in the gym, moving weight, and getting explosive. And of course, distance is king. Hit the ball farther and you’ll be able to score lower. At least that’s the theory Bryson DeChambeau proved right when he won the US Open at Winged Foot. For the average golfer, copying your favorite player and their gym routines is likely going to be a failure and result in some kind of injury The reason f...

  7 Ways to Get Better During the Off-Season A good Tour Player friend of mine, Kevin Kraft , recently wrote an article for Inside Maryland Magazine about off-season training and inspired me to put together this article sharing 7 ways you can get better during the off-season. I mean, after all, why wait until the season begins to start making progress? Wouldn’t you want to hit the ground running and start the season with low scores and momentum? Wouldn’t you want to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your game going into the season so you can capitalize on the warm weather and really take your game to the next level? Growing up in New England, I’m no stranger to seasonal golf. Growing up, golf was played between Memorial Day and Labor Day. These two holidays mark the unofficial start and end of the golfing season up north. Depending on where you live, however, you may not be plagued by cold, snow, and ice, however, you may have fewer opportunities due to weather or daylight...

How often do you find yourself on the first tee, stiff and nervous, anticipating the first tee shot with a 'hit and hope' mentality? Do you find yourself taking a few holes to get warmed up? Are you finishing your rounds sore and tired? Many of these issues and more can be resolved with a proper warm up That's why it's so important to warm up properly before you practice or play OBJECTIVES FOR A PROPER WARM UP? 👉 Get your body and mind ready to perform by the time you stand on the first tee 👉 Maintain energy and focus throughout the round 👉 Help prevent injuries 👉 Make it easier for you to swing freely 👉 Focus your mind into the present TIME AND EQUIPMENT A proper warm up doesn't need to be long or use a lot of equipment. It could be longer and use more equipment for professional golfers who have a lot on the line every week and need their bodies to perform But for the average golfer, it doesn't need to be long or complicated, it simply needs to meet the ob...

USE THE GROUND TO INSTANTLY ADD POWER There’s no doubt golf has become more of an athletic sport over the last 30 years What used to be a game of finesse and precision is now a game of power and speed And while the average driving distance for players has increased, scores have not gone down Why is that? You’d think being able to hit the ball farther would help you play better golf But for the average player, it doesn’t seem to make a difference CONSISTENCY One of the big reasons why players scores have not gone down despite advances in technology is because of consistency The average player struggles to repeat the same swing This means it becomes difficult to predict where the shot is going to end up And since equipment DOES help the ball go farther, your miss-hits may simply be farther offline STABILITY One of the big reasons most players struggle with consistency is because they fail to create stability in their lower body They don’t know how to use the ground properly As a result, ...
