Minnesota Golfer - Fall 2015 - 24

age Kenny Rehabilitation
Institute, whose
specialties include
golf training and rehab,
puts it this way:
" Some people spend
cash on going to a pro
or taking a lesson. We
think we just need
more
practice
and
new clubs; we assume
we're strong enough or talented enough.
... But I think that fi nal piece that now is
being well-accepted is golf fi tness. "
The Golf Performance Program at the
Mayo Clinic's Sports Medicine Center
in Rochester is perhaps the most comprehensive
golf and physiology program
in the state. Three program levels are offered:
Essential, which includes a musculoskeletal
evaluation, golf-swing video
capture and individualized home exercise
program; Advantage, which features
a 3D swing analysis and lesson from a
teaching professional at Somerby Golf
Club in Byron; and Premium, which
includes a nutrition consult, a training
session with a strength coach and sports

It's crucial for golfers to
understand how their
body works.
psychology services.
" The analogy is, " says
Joe Eischen, who cofounded
and leads the Mayo's Golf Performance
Program, " I'm Jeff Gordon at
a NASCAR race, and I show up in a '74
Ford Pinto, I'm probably not going to
win. But if I show up with the best tires,
the best pit crew, the best engine, the
best body on my car, then the driving's
up to me, and I have a legitimate chance
to perform well. "
One of Eischen's clients is 57-year-old
Mike Herzog of Detroit Lakes, a roofing
contractor and 7-handicap member
at Detroit Country Club and Windsong
Farm in Independence.
" Like a good share of people my age, I
was losing some fl exibility and strength,
which not only impacted my game but
other aspects of my life, " Herzog says.
" I use a personal trainer ... but I really
wanted to dial into what would help me
play more and better golf. "
Herzog had an evaluation with Eischen
at Mayo in March and reported the
following: " It was no surprise that I had
to really work on rotation in the thoracic
and hip areas. I knew my fl exibility was
lacking, but frankly not to the degree
that the evaluation indicated. "
Eischen compiled a series of corrective
exercises for Herzog, plus a written evaluation.
And the program helped Herzog
fi nd what he, and many aging golfers,
are looking for: " The workouts have had
a positive impact, " he says. " I am confi -
dent that keeping these exercises as part
of my overall conditioning will allow me
to play golf for years to come. " MG
