Product Expert
Hi, I’m Chris and I’m a golf-obsessed member of the MyGolfSpy team. As the Director of Business Development, I generally work as a conduit between our staff and other golf companies. I also spend a fair bit of time in my hot tub collecting thoughts into ramblings on equipment or other golf topics.
Background Check
The TPI program was created by founders Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Phillips in 2003. Today, the concept of golf fitness is mainstream. In 2003, it was an island. In the middle of the Pacific. With very few, if any, other islands in sight. In 2003, you probably had a Palm Pilot and hit up the local Sam Goody to snag the new 50 Cent album.
STEP No. 1: ASSESSMENT
After a brief discussion with Phillips about TPI, he put me through a series of 16 tasks to better understand my physical competence. Each exercise was assessed and labeled as either red (fail), green (pass) or yellow (partial pass). Based on this, the My TPI app generates a Golf Fitness Handicap.
Results and Trends
As golfers, we tend to be more comfortable overestimating how far we hit the ball while forgetting how often we three-putt. But this is the type of test where you can’t cheat or massage the results. Both Tony Covey, our esteemed Ball Lab expert and equipment editor, and I went through this process.
PLAN OF ACTION
Improvement is a process. And it isn’t linear. And sometimes it’s slow as well. I knew all of that going in but I figured that I couldn’t get any less flexible so what the hell.

Is there any way to get a printable version of the workouts? Something to keep in a log book and to refresh the memory about proper technique.

Hi Josh, It's great to hear that you are baaacck! Through the workouts, the shoulder injury and now a new low score :) Many more to come, I'm sure!

I know it's been awhile since I updated the team here, but I have to say that TPI is the real deal. On Saturday, I just shot the lowest round I've ever had at my home course (72/131), and easily the best round I've ever played. I put up a smooth 75, with an even par front 9.
Mike D., Team Titleist Manager said
Congrats, Josh! Great round... keep posting those low numbers and let's tee it up soon. Are you playing in the MGA Amateur Pub Links? Still time to register... I'm qualifying at the Shaker Hills event on 7/8.

I'm off and running with TPI. My pro got me set up with the work outs, and I'm excited to gain some distance and flexibility. Does anyone here have the bands they have on the TPI website? I'm looking to get one, and can't decide what one I need. I exercise regularly now, so I was thinking the heavy band would be best.
Christopher H said
Nice Josh! Not sure if i wanna play with you now on the 29th.. J/k. I'll be looking for some tips and looking forward to our round together..
