7,500 Sq. foot indoor Lincoln Park Performance Center; Chicago’s first all-encompassing world-class, tour-caliber golf training facility
Catalyst Golf Performance (CPG) is hosting two open houses at its new Lincoln Park Performance Center on January 18 and 24 from 1 to 4 pm at 1650 N. Throop St just off the Kennedy Expressway at North Avenue.
The Center is the first and only all-encompassing, world-class and Tour-caliber indoor golf performance facility featuring virtual golf simulation near Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. It is a one-stop operation for golf instruction, coaching, physical fitness and rehabilitation, club fitting and repair, practice and indoor virtual golf simulation, all housed in a 7,500 sq. ft. facility.
The open house will feature food and refreshments and tours of the Center’s:
• Two fully-outfitted 600-sq. ft. Trackman™ hitting bays; providing integrated golf simulation, video golf swing analysis, state-of-the- art 3-D biomechanics swing analysis and radar ball tracking on a 24-sq. ft. projection screen. They feature a full image of hundreds of famous courses from around the world. Each bay includes two 46″ monitors that show video and still views of a golf swing from the front, back and down the line.
• A 1,300 sq. ft. putting green with a range of artificial grass chipping lengths and lies and green designs with undulations providing authentic roll, spin and skid characteristics of a real green.
• A fully-outfitted 2,000 sq. ft. performance training gym including Olympic weight lifting and cross cable stations, cardio machines and a full range of equipment to promote golf-specific fitness training.
• Tour-caliber custom club fitting of Titleist, Mizuno and Taylor Made and other leading club manufacturers’ equipment.
• An on-site club customization and repair service with re-shafting, re-gripping and loft/lie and other adjustments featuring the industry’s leading components.
“This Center is for the golfer of any and all skill levels who is committed to assuring his golf performance and improvement is equivalent to what Tour pros expect on a daily basis,” says Michael Napoleon, Director of Golf Instruction and Managing Partner of Catalyst Golf Performance. “Catalyst deploys an integrated and team approach of coaching, instruction, physical fitness, conditioning and rehabilitation incorporating golf’s leading tools, technologies, and expertise.”
“Catalyst’s philosophy is different from conventional golf instruction which can involve quick fixes and short-term and periodic lessons that don’t reflect a person’s short and long term goals or his physical capabilities and limitations, ” says Napoleon. “Our approach is process driven beginning with a full game assessment that produces a highly personalized golf improvement plan and benchmarks taking in account all aspects of the golfer’s game – swing mechanics, biomechanics, short game skills, physical fitness, and their current equipment. It is not about picking and choosing an off-the-shelf lesson plan based on a golfer’s’ perceived needs.”
The Catalyst team has the highest levels of PGA of America (PGA) and Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) teaching and club fitting certifications. We also have played in the NCAA and PGA Tour and evaluated and taught some of Chicago and the world’s premier players. Our fitness experts are certified by the CHEK Institute for high performance exercise instruction.
The company already has built successful operations that incorporate some features of the new Center at its newly enhanced facilities at the Buckingham Athletic Club in downtown Chicago and Royal Melbourne Country Club in the northern suburbs. Catalyst also operations at Chicago Highland golf club in the western suburbs.
The Center is located at 1650 N Throop St. just off North Avenue and the Kennedy Expressway and it is open daily from 6am to 9pm.. Contact www.catalysgolfperformance.com for more information.
