appy New Year!
While the weather may
indicate otherwise,
the 2017 Golf season is
only 90 days away! We
are blessed that our
Greystone Performance Center
offers the perfect environment
to work on your golf game
during the cold winter months.
In an effort to develop your golf
game during the cool weather,
the Blackburn Golf Team has
developed some new programs
for the 2017 “Off Season” which
are sure to make this season
your best yet!
Our Annual Golf Evaluation is
a great way to start the new
year. Much like those new year
resolutions to get in shape at
the gym, it requires an initial
assessment to develop a training
plan. Our annual golf eval-
uation will develop and
implement a custom coaching
program for your game. This is
the same approach we use
with our collegiate and
professional clients to improve
their performance.

At the elite level, the biggest
correlation to a golfer’s world
ranking is driving distanced.
Similarly, the biggest correlator
to handicap index is also driving
distance. At the elite level there
is a new statistical analysis
system used to assess a golfers
proficiency in scoring called
strokes gained. It’s no surprise
then that leaders in strokes
gained off the tee are the likes
of Dustin Johnson, Rory Mclroy
and Bubba Watson. The two
biggest contributors to driving
distance are impact location
& centerdness of hit and ball
speed. While technique can help
with improving the impaction
location & centerdness of hit,
ball speed is primarily based
on clubspeed. Improving your
clubspeed will increase your
distance and theoretically
lower your scoring average
based on all the statiscal data
we have. To help develop more
speed we are offering an 8 week
Speed Program. By utilizing the
same over and under training
principles pitching coach Tom
House uses with major league
ball players and now NFL
quaterbacks, we will help you
increase your club speed. The
program has a proven track
record and candramatically help
you lower your scores in 2017.
Our ladies program continues
to grow under Liz’s direction.
To sustain that growth we are
offering a Ladies weekly win-
ter drop in clinic and custom-
ized personalized coaching
programs through the winter.
To discuss any of our program
please feel free to call us at the
Performance Center anytime
at 205-986-5152. If you haven’t
visited the Performance Center
please join us on Saturday January
14th when we will be hosting
an open house from noon
through three o’clock. We will
showcase all our winter coaching
programs and new Taylor Made
M series drivers!
We look forward to helping you
with your game soon.
