Petertpigolf@gmail.com TPI stands for Titleist Performance Institute (www.mytpi.com). TPI training is focused purely on golf which at the time was just what I needed. I've always been naturally athletic which certainly helps in sports but for the first time I could see where my body was struggling and could make the connection to my swing which is the crucial part of TPI.

Having studied sports science at Southeastern Louisiana University where I was there on a golf scholarship (2004-2008) I always had an idea of physical fitness and it's relevance to sports. The Titleist Performance Institute have done superb research on all types of golfers and have come up with a coaching method that is far superior to anything I have seen in my time as a golfer. I played on the European Challenge Tour for 5 seasons and year after year I noticed the players getting fitter and stronger. The daily routine went from lazy mornings in the hotel to a race to the gym to get your pre-round workout in. I was always one of the longest hitters on the tour but I also noticed the gaps getting smaller in that department to which really focussed me to get working on my own body, which I did. It's no coincidence that most players on the PGA and European Tours are working with TPI certified fitness Professionals.

The golfer is evolving and has evolved into a proper athlete. When we play 18 holes at our local course, we are usually covering 4-5 miles either pulling or carrying a heavy golf bag and that's before we hit a shot, that is demanding on our bodies and we as golfers will pick up injuries.

For the more advanced golfer, his or her coach is a crucial part of the TPI process. With video analysis and the coach's input, together we can paint the picture of the players tendencies and faults and by implementing a structured TPI golf exercise program, the results will speak for themselves.

The beauty of TPI is that any golfer of any level can benefit. Injury prevention is a major part of TPI training. Many golfers carry injuries that may hurt them from time to time but never really have them treated. In my initial TPI full body screening, along with the players history of injuries if applicable, we can then work to improve any injury through a bespoke golf specific training program and help that person play injury free golf so they can prolong their golf career.
