Golf S&C Screening & Testing | Simple Movement Checks to Improve Performance

Key Points

• • Avoid misattribution: Physical limitations ≠ swing faults. Don’t assume a movement issue causes a technical flaw—those should be addressed by a swing coach.
• • Purpose of profiling: Identify physical strengths and limitations to guide a personalized training program that improves overall physical performance and reduces injury risk.
• • Force plates are helpful but optional: They offer advanced insight into strength imbalances but are costly and not always necessary.
• • Screening can be simple: No equipment needed—basic movement tests (squat, lunge, hinge, push/pull) are enough to assess general motor control.
