A physical at Monarch Beach Golf Links acts
as a doctor’s appointment for your game.
BY JUDD SPICER
on’t just get serious about your golf game—get physical. A
golf physical session at Monarch Beach Golf Links provides
any driven player with a thorough assessment of his or her
swing, equipment, conditioning and mental approach. Think
of it like a doctor’s visit (but with Titleists in lieu of thermome-
ters): A one-on-one, 90-minute session looks at the health of your
game and approach to golf, followed by suggestions for more finite
instruction and a referral program that connects you to some of
the area’s top health and wellness experts.
“Just like going to get a checkup, a doctor performs a physical
to look at multiple things to ensure your general health,” says Eric
Lohman, PGA, general manager at Monarch Beach Golf Links.
“This is me checking your golf game’s general health to make sure
everything is OK. It’s giving your game a 360-degree perspective.”
THE DOCTOR IS IN
Lohman came up with the concept of the golf physical four years
ago. “It began from me watching people internally struggle with
what they needed to work on,” Lohman says. “So, it dawned on
me that we could do a broader approach to an assessment and then
come up with two or three things to really work on. And then to
also look at things like proper club fitting and physical abilities,
such as flexibility.”
