Titleist Performance InstituteTPI education
Connecting the body and the swing
Titleist Performance Institute education connects physical movement, swing characteristics, and golf performance so instruction can address the whole player.
Teaching philosophy
Connect the player, the swing and the result.
Don’s Total Body Golf approach considers ball flight, swing mechanics, physical movement and the decisions a golfer makes on the course. The goal is to explain cause and effect clearly, then give each golfer useful priorities instead of unnecessary complexity.
