Anchorage, KY – If you’re serious about golf instruction, you need to experience ZenoLink. ZenoLink is an advanced 3-D Motion Analysis technology that helps expose the strengths and weaknesses of a golfer’s swing. Golf instructors know what their students are doing when they swing; now ZenoLink can solve the age-old puzzle of why they’re doing it. ZenoLink is movement, redefined.
Owl Creek Golf Club in suburban Louisville is hosting a two-day golf biomechanics educational workshop, July 7-8, presented by ZenoLink. It will be conducted by ZenoLink founder Chris Welch, a leading authority on sports biomechanics and functional movement. Welch’s research and practical applications to teaching have influenced many of golf’s leading instructors and fitness trainers, including those who started the Titleist Performance Institute.
Participants in the seminar at Owl Creek will learn how to effectively employ 3-D biomechanics in golf teaching and training. This is a hands-on workshop, designed for coaches, trainers, athletes, therapists and clinicians. Sessions will cover 3-D biomechanical evaluation of swing mechanics, motor skill assessment, physical therapy screening, advancing training concepts and the integration of alternative training methods including yoga and explosive burst training.
“There is a great deal of myth and misconception when it comes to true cause and effect in the golf swing,” says Welch. “ZenoLink can prove and quantify what’s really happening with an individual’ swing, not what an instructor may guess what’s happening after watching common two-dimensional videos.”
The seminar at Owl Creek will integrate lectures with hands-on learning segments to create a fast and powerful learning experience. ZenoLink workshops are unrivaled in their ability to provide attendees with powerful skills in teaching and training. Leading teaching facilities that have joined the ZenoLink revolution after sending instructors to similar seminars include the Boyne (Mich.) Golf Schools; Core Golf Academies (Fla. and Canada); and the SwingLink golf fitness certification program (Canada).
Because it is Web-based, ZenoLink effectively gives golf instructors access to highly sophisticated analytical data without investing in expensive hardware. Moreover, ZenoLink is a revenue stream for golf instructors who become certified ZenoLink Partners and offer the service to their students.
Once the instructor has captured video images of a student hitting balls on the range, a team of biomechanics experts at the ZenoLink Performance Lab in Endicott, N.Y., will make highly sophisticated, research level biomechanical measurements from those images and create a 3-D model of that individual’s unique swing characteristics. Based on the golfer’s test results, ZenoLink will recommend personalized Progressive Skills Training™ drills that the instructor can incorporate into the student’s lesson plan.
PGA of America members who attend the full seminar at Owl Creek are eligible to receive up to 16 Member Service Requirement Credits. The workshop costs $500. Attendees who sign up as a new ZenoLink Partner will have their $500 account start-up fee waived.

Knowledge is power, and ZenoLink arms both the golf instructor and the golf student with the knowledge to improve.
ABOUT ZenoLink: ZenoLink™ is the foremost biomechanics analysis and training tool currently being used by professional and amateur athletes and their coaches, trainers, and teachers. It employs 3D motion assessment to capture specialized data related to functional movement, and turns it into a digital model of your motion. This model is then used to assess exactly how you are performing your activity, your risk of possible injury, and the possibilities for improved performance.
ABOUT Chris Welch: Chris Welch is a biomedical engineer graduated from Boston University. He started his career in biomechanics in 1991 doing research at the American Sports Medicine Institute and then continued work at the BioMotion foundation. He has studied and worked with hundreds of athletes, coaches, trainers, sports instructors, and sports medicine practitioners. His life’s work has been dedicated to studying biomechanics, developing associated software, and advancing the state of the art of clinical biomechanics.
