Player of the Year Update - Free Injury Evaluation

This year's Maximum Performance Player of the Year  award will be based on tour performance against your lowest handicap against the entire Arkansas field on the day of that tournament.  See prior blog for details.

Below are the standings to date, but first, "a word from our sponsor" about common swing faults:

-------------------------
Common swing faults occur due to tight shoulder, tightness in the hip joint, spinal injuries, and repetitive strain injuries.When shoulder rotation is restricted the body compensates with excessive spinal rotation. This can result in back injury because most people already lack flexibility in the spine. In addition, golfers will notice that they have difficulties in:

    * Keeping their eyes on the ball.

    * Maintaining an optimal swing plane. 

This results in fat or thin shots. When the golfer attempts to compensate at the shoulder joint, the chances of a hook or slice increases.

Tightness in the hip joint rotational muscles places additional strain on the rotational requirements of the shoulder or spine. Often a golfer will compensate by lifting up during the back swing and then chop down on the ball resulting in a fat shot.

Wrist and elbow injuries often occurs when the body does not have the capacity to effectively compensate at either the shoulder or spine. The wrists are then over-used to drive as well as decelerate the golf club.

These swing faults are often easily corrected by addressing the physical restriction the golfer has in their body.  

AM Tour members qualify for a free injury evaluation.  And, each event's overall "Tournament Champion" qualifies for one free treatment.  Call Maximum Performance at 479-268-6080 for an appointment!
