How does TPI at the Bourne End Golf Hub Work?
STEP 1: A full TPI assessment
The starting point is to get a full TPI assessment completed with Caroline. This takes around an hour and a half and consists of 16 different exercises to test your body's ability to swing a golf club. A little time is also spent analysing your swing with this assessment in mind.
STEP 2: Get setup on the TPI app
The TPI app allows you to see your TPI test results along with any routines Caroline has set out. These routines will often be a mixture of fitness, flexibility, and golf exercises. You also get a golf fitness handicap, which is a benchmark for your body's ability.
STEP 3: Identify if further help is required
​
Sometimes further help is required to get the best performance from your golf swing, with TPI there are 2 further routes which can be followed. Personal Training and Physiotherapy. We have teamed up with 2 local TPI-certified professionals who offer these services if deemed necessary.

STEP 4: Play better golf
​
Using a combination of technical and physical work by adapting your swing and exercise routines to improve your golf swing around how your body moves will result in better, pain-free, golf on the course. From here, you can follow up with lessons to further improve. It's also worth occasionally carrying out additional TPI assessments to see if improvements have been made to your golf fitness handicap or if more work is required.
