The aim of these Swingfit programmes is to improve the on course performance of the elite player. To do this, we will carry out a complete review of a player's current performance and look at which areas need to be worked on for the player to reach his goals. When a new client arrives at the Academy, they will be assigned a coaching mentor. The team of coaches will conduct an indepth 1 on 1 analysis covering swing, biomechanics, tournament play, short game ability and the mental game. We will then design a training plan with the player which includes coaching sessions, focused practice sessions, regular tests to measure improvement and entry to tournaments.

Swing Technique Programmes
Most of the players at this level already have a relationship with a swing coach in their home country. Where this is the case, the Swingfit coach will play a supporting role by videoing the player's swing and helping him understand why certain shots are occuring but will not provide technical instruction on the long game unless asked to do so. If a player is looking to make swing changes, we would recommend a minimum stay of 8 weeks so that the player has a chance to engrain the new techniques. Such a programme will be designed around the technical changes required and depending on time available, we will aim to include all the major performance factors covered in the 8 week programme.
