The approach

Build the body your swing needs, and the swing follows.

Most golfers work on their swing with a body that can't make the moves they're practicing. Dr. Paul starts with the golfer: posture, balance, mobility, strength, endurance and speed. Then he connects them to your swing and your mental game, so the changes last on the course.

Inside the process

Assess, design, coach

Here's what working with Dr. Paul looks like, from your first evaluation to your swing on the range.

Step 1

Comprehensive evaluation

Dr. Paul checks a golfer's spine angle at address with an alignment stick along his back — **Posture**Dr. Paul uses an alignment stick to check spine angle at address. Good posture is the base of a repeatable swing.

Dr. Paul times a golfer's single-leg balance test on a foam pad — **Balance**A timed single-leg test shows how steady you can stay from backswing to finish.

Dr. Paul measures trunk rotation with a goniometer as a seated golfer holds a club across his chest, his hand resting on the golfer's shoulder — **Flexibility**Measuring trunk rotation shows how far you can turn, and where a bigger turn will come from.

Dr. Paul gives a thumbs up as a golfer holds a medicine ball at her chest during a split squat — **Strength**Lower-body and core tests show how much power your body can build and control.

Step 2

Custom program design

Dr. Paul points to an exercise on a golfer's personalized program sheet, set on the table facing the golfer — **Your plan, built for you**Dr. Paul walks you through your results and the golf fitness and mental-game program he designed from them, exercise by exercise.

Step 3

Personal coaching

Dr. Paul rests a hand on a golfer's shoulder to cue her turn during a resistance-band exercise — **Golf fitness exercises**Dr. Paul coaches every rep of your custom program, cueing the shoulder turn your swing needs.

Dr. Paul guides a golfer's shoulder and upper back through a slow-motion backswing on the range — **Full-swing motion re-education**Slow, guided swing drills turn your new strength and mobility into a better motion you can repeat.

Dr. Paul coaches a golfer at a whiteboard titled The Champion's Code while the golfer writes his goals, with Grace Under Par and the Grace Under Par Study Guide displayed on the table — **Mental game coaching**Dr. Paul helps you set clear goals and build The Champion's Code mindset, using Grace Under Par and its Study Guide as your playbook.

Dr. Paul and a teenage junior golfer rotate into a full backswing pivot together, each holding a club across the collarbones with crossed arms — **Junior golf fitness, ages 12–18**Junior golfers learn a full shoulder turn with the crossed-arm pivot drill, building habits that carry them through middle school and high school golf and beyond.
