Sooner or later, most men and women who are committed to playing better golf go through lesson after lesson and frequent changes of the latest equipment. Eventually, the realization settles in: Without golf-specific fitness and conditioning, the average golfer will find it difficult to improve, and quite simply, most golfers do not have adequate posture or flexibility to play well.

If it is your intention to treat more golfers, consider speaking to groups of men and women who play golf. Almost every golf course in the United States hosts a social club for both men and women. The social clubs generally have meetings throughout the year, and guest speakers are a welcome addition to the program. Your topic: Fitness and Conditioning for Golf.

If you have any hesitation about speaking in front of large groups of people, then this educational slide presentation, "Golf & Chiropractic Care," by GMP Fitness, is just what the doctor ordered. Using full-color graphics and clever slide transitions, this fast-paced, interactive presentation is easy to set up and play.

The 30-45 minute (depending on audience participation) presentation begins with a review of the general demographics of patients who play golf (more than 25 million golfers in the U.S.). There is reference to the importance of maintaining a fit and healthy body. The audience gets insight into how PGA and LPGA players travel with or seek the help of chiropractors for relief of golf-related injuries. In addition, the audience learns that golf professionals use chiropractic care for general fitness and conditioning for improved performance. Those who view the presentation also will learn about on-course and off-course conditioning; specifically, what elements make up a physically fit body and how conditioning with an exercise ball and other golf-specific equipment is essential for any golfer to reach his or her goal of improved performance.

On-course conditioning tips focus the viewer's attention on why they need a flexible and limber body for golf. They will learn about the importance of performing a proper warm-up routine. Throughout the presentation, the viewer is reminded of how chiropractic care and golf are a perfect fit. In short, if a golfer wants to improve, regular chiropractic care should be an essential component of his or her overall approach.

What's really great about this presentation is that it's all done for you. As the expert, the message you want to communicate is that the golfer needs the service you can render. So, let the presentation play. Then be prepared to answer questions from the audience, as they begin to recognize that their bodies have been the primary barrier to performance.
