The
Golf Biomechanic Intensive Certification
Golf
is one of the fastest rising participation sports in the
world. In the US, golf equaled swimming for participation
with 16% of Americans actively participating that's 43.5
million people! The fact is golfers will do anything to
hit the ball longer and lower their handicap! Golfers regularly
spend as much as $4,000 on a set of clubs, hoping for an
extra few meters on their drive. The golf industry generates
billions of dollars in sales every year!
But
despite all the technological improvements in golf equipment,
the average handicap for both males and females has not
dropped in the past 16 years. Fifty-five years ago, golfers
were winning tournaments such as the US Masters Championships
with a score of 279; a score that would win many major tournaments
around the world today! So much for golf technology.
What
golfers are now discovering is that the clubs don't play
the game, the golfer does! The only way to achieve a lower
handicap is to improve the function of the golfer: the person
who actually swings the club!
That's
where the exercise specialist or golf pro can help. By becoming
a certified Golf Biomechanic and learning how to improve
performance in golfers by addressing golf-specific conditioning
needs, these professionals can expand their skills to include
a whole new niche.
Golfers
need this service to reduce the incidence of injury. Did
you know that 53% of male and 45% of female golfers suffer
from low back pain, and 30% of all touring professionals
are playing injured at any given time? The sport is also
rampant with wrist problems, which is not surprising, considering
the lack of core conditioning in most golfers, leading to
overuse of the arms.
There
are numerous certifications for many different things &
few of which guarantee competence. To be awarded the C.H.E.K
Institute seal of approval, you must prove that you have
the hands-on skill that separates you from the rest. Paul
Chek is well known for saying that "knowledge is not power,
applied knowledge is power." As a certified Golf Biomechanic
you will have demonstrated that you can apply the knowledge
learnt in this course; your earning potential will be far
greater than your competition and your results will prove
it!
