Health Issues Can Be Obstacles To Playing Golf-Learning How To Conquer Them
Jo Boettcher, Founder of Helping Hands Golf Resources with health issues involving Arthritis & Sciatica, started researching how to modify swing mechanics so she could still continue to play golf.
Eric Kaplan a PGA Instructor and Golf Researcher YouTube channel was discovered during research activity.
His teaching approach identifying what muscles are used and actions of muscle memory from a biomechanics' approach made sense.
Applying the same swing to all clubs, could be possibly replicated; with modifications not using knee, hips or back during ball contact.
Research Contribution
Eric working with Mayo Clinic on how people with Parkinson Disease could still play golf effectively. He concentrated on putting since shaking hands is a common joints/muscle reaction.
His first procedure accomplished a quell of shaking hands while putting by people with Parkinson’s disease. Additional club strokes were added that Parkinson patients can be successful.
By studying these results he ignored golf instruction traditions and trends asking a key question.
“So if golfers have historically been plagued with shaky hands, weak lower backs, previous injuries, and muscle imbalance, can I help them as well?“
Based on his research involving motion analysis and biomechanical principles regarding putting and other club strokes.
PGA Professionals are teaching golfers of all ages and abilities swing and putting stroke principles based on results of Eric Kaplan’s study.
PGA & LPGA tour players are using the methodologies he developed to help their “putting yips’ as well as other clubs swing mechanics. golf swing impacts
