HOW GET FIT TO GOLF CAME TO BE

Ron first became interested in the importance of posture and spine angle in golf when he was introduced to Bobby Locke. Ron treated Bobby Locke for a back condition over 25 years ago when he was playing in a senior tournament in Australia. Bobby discussed with Ron how important a good back and posture was in golf and the fact that most golfers are unaware that they may have a physical problem affecting their swing. Even though 25 years have passed now instructors and magazines still stressed that good spine angle is important, but they still do not focus on the underlying causes of the physical problems or how to correct them. That is why Ron decided in 1998 to undertake research in this area with the aim of eventually creating an easy to access and simple to understand online assessment to determine the ability of a golfer and to show how incorrect posture and spine angle affects a golfer’s game. Ron enlisted a team consisting of health care professionals, golf professionals, web developers and research assistants to help develop the unique site www.getfittogolf.com. Ron Burke invented the unique world first completely online golf biomechanics analysis and correctional program called the ChiroFit™ program where in which he categorized the seven major swing faults and their causes relating to posture, muscle, and spine angle faults. The program determines a golfer's physical and biomechanical faults and then produces a unique personalized health and fitness solution to correct those biomechanical faults in order to bring their body and muscles back in to balance and improve the golf swing.
