FAQ's
Do I need any golf experience?
No, although a little bit helps. In addition to learning how to recognize and treat golf injuries, you’ll also be shown how to improve your own golf swing.
What do I need to bring?
First and foremost a desire to learn while also having some fun. You’ll also need at least one club - a 7-iron although a putter and a sand wedge wouldn’t hurt either. A full set of clubs is recommended for the SPECIAL injury rehabilitation & golf instruction seminar. The golf course will have a limited number of rental sets available if required.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes & shoes that will let you swing a golf club. Please note that we will likely be at a golf course and most golf courses don’t allow jeans, t-shirts or spaghetti strap tops.
What is the format?
Typically each day starts with sit-down lectures. This is followed by workshops where different assessment, golf-specific exercise programs and technique adjustments are demonstrated and practiced.
What will I take away from the course?
Besides a lot of very practical and useful knowledge that has undergone scientific scrutiny and clinical success (that will apply to not only golf patients), you also receive very comprehensive manuals (so you won’t have to write very much) and a certificate indicating you have successfully completed the course.
Will I have an opportunity to play golf?
We usually will get a chance to play at least 9-holes at the end of most days. Driving range instruction and a full 18 holes of golf will be included in the SPECIAL injury rehabilitation & golf instruction seminar.
