Business Profile: Innovative Golf Clinics Match Local Pros with Interactive Technology

By Susan Regier

Golfers know that the most important tool on the golf course is their body. So to ensure enthusiasts are in top form, two local pros, Bob Martin and Ron Lampman from Golf Unleashed, and certified Yoga for Golfers™ teacher, Tina Gokstorp from OsoYoga, are teaming up with Golf Without Limits at the Bob Martin Golf Centre, 3341 Wonderland Road South, London for a series of unprecedented golf clinics to be held in June and July.

"I've been in most areas of the golf industry in both Canada and the US for more than forty years,” said Bob Martin, a well-known golf personality who has captivated audiences from coast to coast with his demonstrations and teaching clinics. “This is the best combination of golf entertainment, fitness, and instruction that I have ever seen or experienced. If you are sincerely looking to make your game the best it can be, this is where you want to be."

A series of three Golf Performance Clinics that cover all aspects of the game will be held for juniors (age 7 – 14) and masters (55 & up) on July 2, 9, and 16; and a women’s clinic (14+) on July 5, 12 and 19. Plus, Ron Lampman, who competed at the World Longdrive Championships in Nevada and finished third at the 2006 Word Golf Trickshot championships, will lead a Power & Distance workshop on June 22, 2008. Participants will learn how to gain power and distance in their shots through increased flexibility for a better swing, more power on impact, increased focus, and improved stability.

“The finest players in the world are incorporating the Katherine Roberts’ Yoga for Golfers™ program as part of their fitness regime. This highly specialized program has been featured on the Golf Channel and ESPN's Hank Haney Signature Golf Schools for a reason,” said Gokstorp. “Stability, focus, flexibility, and a healthy back significantly contribute to how well you play. We help our students understand how the foundations of yoga have a specific correlation to their score on the course."

These clinics will cover all aspects of the swing – the long game, the short game, chipping, putting, and bunker play. And with Golf Without Limits’ cutting edge technology, including its tectonic force plates, Doppler radar systems, and ultrasound analyzers, everything you never wanted to know about your game can be measured from the horizontal launch angle of your drive to the spin on your putt. The innovative visual feedback gives instant insight into the golf swing that is easy to understand.

Never before has such an impressive roster of pros joined forces with revolutionary technology for an amazing suite of services in one place. These clinics will forever change the way the game is played.
