It’s only 50 days away. The TPI Golf Fitness Summit
What Is The WGFS?
The WGFS is a biennial gathering of the world’s elite golf, fitness, and medical professionals that come together to discuss the latest research and practical application of the art and science of fitness, nutrition, and technology and how all that can be applied to improving golf performance.
The Summit is hosted by the Titleist Performance Institute. As the name suggests, fitness professionals, golf instructors, and medical professionals who work with golfers come from all around the world to learn from those at the top of the industry.
My first was the 2016 World Golf Fitness Summit in New Orleans.
In 2016 I had my first exposure to ELDOA, a methodology of myofascial stretching to decompress your joints developed by the French Osteopath, Guy Voyer. This was taught by master instructors Dan Hellman and Janet Alexander, who you see with me below.
I also got to spend time with SuperSpeed co-founder Kyle Shay, whom I had already met in NYC a few years earlier.

And let’s not forget “The Coach“. My favorite TPI Instructor and mentor, Jason Glass.
TPI World Golf Fitness Summit-2018
The theme of the 2018 Summit was Yards and Years. Everything every golfer wants. More distance and the ability to play the game for as long as they would like to play. Longevity!
The 2018 World Golf Fitness Summit was held in sunny Orlando, FL.
This time Jason Glass was the Keynote speaker and he did not disappoint by using his own style of Edumatainment.
At the 2018 Summit, I got to learn from world-renowned golf performance coach and author of Fit For Golf, Fit For Life– Randy Myers
I also had the opportunity to meet the dynamic duo of golf, Me and My Golf’s Andy Proudman & Piers Ward. Boy are these guys tall!
