Golf Seminar

Biomechanics Coach, Martin Haines will be giving a golf seminar in the afternoon of 27th July in the Esporta Club in Poole, Dorset. In it, he will be looking at the golf swing and how it is influenced by intrinsic biomechanical flaws.

Martin says "The great variety of individual golf swings represents the huge number of intrinsic biomechanical problems that golfers have to compensate for. Problems arise when a golfer tries to change his swing towards a more biomechanically correct swing in order to shoot lower scores and his body is not prepared sufficiently. This increases the risk of injury significantly as the player continues to work against his body's natural movement mechanics. If the specific reason for this can be identified and resolved in a simple and timely manner, it has a profound effect on a golfer's performance and injury prevention".

He will be going into detail and look at how the biomechanics of the pelvis, shoulders and spine in particular affect how we swing a golf club.

In addition he will be paying attention to the nervous system and look at how biomechanical problems within it can significantly affect not only the swing but also the incidence of injuries that our golfers receive. As well as looking at how and why these factors affect the swing, he will also be talking about what management strategies you can employ to resolve them in a timely and simple manner. This will be helpful to personal trainers, therapists, golf coaches and strength conditioning coaches who work with golfers.

Martin has worked with professional and recreational golfers from Greg Owen to mark McNulty and is on the International Advisory Board to the European PGA Tour Physio Unit.
