“Coach Joey D is an expert in movement patterns of the body. He has created golf specific exercises to improve those movement patterns in golfers. That is the synergy that brought GolfGym and the Body Balance for Performance together,” stated Ken Pierce President of GolfGym.
Body Balance for Performance-Irvine is a golf performance center that uses state-of-the-art technology to help golf clients discover body flaws that are affecting their golf game. They then can develop a golf fitness program for their clients that is both highly effective and easy to do even at home.
“This is a very timely event. One of Coach Joey D’s players Pat Perez just won the Bob Hope Classic, said Stephanie Overbaugh, President of Body Balance for Performance. “We anticipate a lot of golfers attending, each wanting to know how to train and win.”
Joey has been a coach on the PGA Tour for over a decade and is one of the most highly respected and sought after biomechanics, strength and conditioning coaches on Tour. He coached Vijay Singh and traveled with him to all the tournaments for seven years and for one year performed double duty as his caddy. That happened to be the year that Vijay set the record for most money earned in one season on the PGA Tour.
Joey’s coaching methods with Vijay were highlighted on an ABC Special, Practice Like a PGA Tour Player, and a CBS Special, The Science of Golf, which showcased Vijay’s dedication and work ethic to improve his golf fitness and performance. All that hard work paid off as Vijay became #1 in the world. Joey D’s current roster of players includes PGA Tour players Pat Perez, Ryuji Imada, Tim Wilkinson, Tom Pernice, Jr., Charlie Wi, Jason Dufner and Jason Gore.
While he continues to coach Tour players, Joey D is now expanding his business to reach golfers worldwide. His partnership with GolfGym allows him to take his coaching philosophy and create not only the products, but the instructional DVDs to help improve golf performance for golfers of all ability levels.
The cost of the event is $95.00 per person. Refreshments will be provided. To sign up, contact Stephanie Overbaugh at soverbaugh@fitgolf.com or call 949-595-7000.
