⛳️ The ONLY 4 Reasons Golfers Lose Distance

Distance loss is rarely random. In all cases, it comes down to these 4 key factors.

Here are four of the biggest reasons golfers don’t hit it as far as they want:

1️⃣ Loss of flexibility

Limited hip and upper back rotation makes it harder to create depth, coil, and speed in the swing.

2️⃣ Declining strength and power

Distance requires force production. If strength and power drop, clubhead speed usually follows.

3️⃣ Inefficient sequencing

Even strong golfers lose speed when the body is not working in the right order.

4️⃣ Unoptimized strike and ball flight

Speed alone is not enough. Strike location, launch, and spin all impact how far the ball actually goes.

The good news is that all four of these areas can be improved with the right training and plan.

In this video you will see some of the ways our golfers train to address these exact factors.

⛳️ Strong Enough for golf?

How strong is strong enough to not worry about strength limiting speed capacity?

What are general really solid strength benchmarks for adults?

These are some strength benchmarks we commonly use when assessing our adult golfers.

They are not rules, but they give us a helpful reference point when looking at overall strength and capacity.

Benchmarks we often look for:

• Bench press: body weight
• Deadlift: 1.5 to 2 times body weight
• Chin ups: 6 to 10 reps

For golfers in their 30s to 50s, these are excellent targets. As we age, those numbers may shift slightly each decade, but the goal remains the same. Strong is strong.

Age alone is not a reason to stop lifting heavy. The key is doing it intelligently and safely.

Of course certain physical limitations, injuries, or past surgeries may require modifications. That is why many golfers work with us to build strength safely so they can play their best golf for years to come.

⛳️ 3 Signs You Should Get Your Back Pain Checked Out by a PT

Back pain is common, especially for golfers, but certain symptoms are a signal that it is time to get it evaluated.

1️⃣ It is simply not getting better

If your back pain is lingering for weeks or worse even longer despite rest, light activity changes, or stretching, it is time for a proper assessment.

2️⃣ Numbness, tingling, or shooting pain into the leg

Symptoms that travel down one or both legs can indicate nerve irritation and should be evaluated sooner rather than later.

3️⃣ Weakness in the leg or foot

If you notice your leg or foot feeling weaker than normal, it is important to have this checked out.

Getting the right diagnosis early often leads to faster recovery and helps prevent small issues from becoming bigger problems.

⛳️ Why Pain Free Does Not Mean Swing Ready

Getting out of pain is step one. It is not the finish line.

To truly return to golf, your body needs more than symptom relief.

1️⃣ You must rebuild tolerance and capacity
Your body has to handle rotation, volume, and speed again. That means progressively loading tissues and rebuilding strength.

2️⃣ Underlying swing issues may still exist
If movement patterns contributed to the injury, they need to be addressed so the problem does not return.

3️⃣ Training habits need to change
Huge spikes in volume and poor recovery are common reasons golfers break down again.

4️⃣ You need a real return to play plan
Going from rehab to 18 holes without progression is not a strategy. Volume and intensity should be built gradually.

Pain free is the beginning. Swing ready means your body is prepared for the demands of the game.

Save this if you want to come back stronger, not just symptom free. ⛳️💪

⛳️ How We Assess Flexibility at Tour Physio

Flexibility is not just about touching your toes. It is about understanding how your entire body moves and how that movement supports your swing.

During our assessment, we look head to toe at nearly every moving joint, including the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, upper back, hips, knees, and ankles.

We assess flexibility in two key ways:

• Active mobility which is how well you can move and control your joints yourself
• Passive mobility which is how much range is available when we guide the movement

This helps us understand not only what range you have, but how well you can use it.

By combining these insights, we can build a plan that is specific to your body, your limitations, and your goals so that what you work on actually moves the needle.

Better assessments lead to better plans and better results.

Save this if you are curious what a thorough assessment looks like. ⛳️💪

⛳️ Struggling to Use Your Lead Leg for Speed? Try These Drills

Your lead leg is critical for creating force, stabilizing, and transferring energy through the swing. If you are not using it well, speed often feels hard to access.

Here are three drills to build better lead side mechanics:

1️⃣ Med Ball Rotational Slam with Force Pedal Under Lead Big Toe
Helps you feel pressure into the lead side and improve ground interaction.

2️⃣ Resistance Band Around Lead Knee Tethered to Kettlebell
Encourages pushing up and away through the lead leg to improve stability and rotation.

3️⃣ Med Ball Single Arm Chest Pass with Lead Leg Emphasis
Trains force production and transfer through the lead side into the upper body.

The goal is to learn how to accept force, push into the ground, and rotate efficiently so speed shows up naturally.

Save this and add it to your training. ⛳️💪

⛳️ What Are the Biggest Speed Gains We’ve Seen and What Do Most Golfers Actually Gain?

We often get asked what kind of speed improvements are possible. While some golfers make big jumps, most see steady, meaningful progress over time.

Here are a few examples:

• One golfer improved from 108 to 114 mph in a single session after addressing key movement and sequencing factors.
• Golfers in their 70s have gone from around 81 mph into the 90s over 8 to 12 months by building strength and mobility.
• Several high school athletes have progressed from the low 80s to 120 mph, with one reaching into the 130s through structured training.

So what about the average golfer?

Most clients typically gain about 3 to 7 mph in the first few months, with larger gains over time depending on consistency, training age, and starting point.

Speed is not built overnight. It is developed through improving movement, strength, power, and efficiency.

The key is having a plan and sticking with the process.

Save this if you are working on gaining speed. ⛳️💪

⛳️ 3 Signs You’re Not Using Your Lead Leg for Speed (Without Using a Force Plate)

Your lead leg plays a huge role in creating force, rotating efficiently, and transferring energy through the swing. If it is not doing its job, speed and consistency suffer.

Here are three signs you can spot without force plates:

1️⃣ Lead knee sliding laterally past the ankle
Excessive slide often means you are not pushing into the ground and using the lead side to stabilize and rotate.

2️⃣ Both knees stay flexed with hips not rotating toward the target
This can indicate stalling, where the lower body is not clearing or accepting force properly.

3️⃣ Excessive weight staying on the trail side
Many golfers hang back and never fully get into their lead side, which limits their ability to create speed. Some players may push back through the lead side late, but true speed comes from getting there effectively and early enough.

You do not need a force plate to recognize when your lead side is not contributing. Awareness is the first step toward improving how you create speed.

Save this if you are working on better lower body mechanics. ⛳️💪
