It’s definitely a common question that we get. You It’s definitely a common question that we get. You want to hit it further and play faster, but your back is screaming "stop."

In our latest "Ask a Coach" video, Bill (our MAT & Fitness Specialist) gets real about the risks and the roadmap to getting your speed back without the pain.

The short answer? Jumping straight into max-effort power training with a "bad back" probably isn’t safe, yet.

The SMART Process:
1️⃣ Find the "Why": As an MAT (Muscle Activation Techniques) specialist, Bill’s first priority isn't the leaderboard, it's understanding the root cause of your pain. Is it a mobility issue? A muscular imbalance? A nervous system "shutdown"?
2️⃣ Assess Limitations: We don't guess; we test. We look at your specific physical capabilities to see what your body is currently cleared to handle.
3️⃣ Custom Protocol: Our training team builds a program that respects your limitations while strategically pushing your goals. We don't just "train around" an injury; we build the stability you need to eventually unlock that power safely.

The goal isn't just to swing fast today, it's to swing fast for the next 20 years.

Think you need a certain handicap to walk through Think you need a certain handicap to walk through our doors? Think again.

At SMART Golf & Fitness, we work with golfers of every age and every skill level. Whether you’re a scratch player hunting for that final 1% of speed or someone who has never touched a club, our process remains the same: we build a better athlete to build a better golfer.

Here’s the truth about being a beginner at SMART:
You won’t be “just a beginner” for long.

If you commit to the process, show up consistently, and put in the work on both your swing and your fitness, the results aren’t just a possibility, they’re a mathematical certainty.

You’ll start to see the changes faster than you think. A more stable core leads to a more consistent strike. Better mobility leads to effortless power. Suddenly, you aren’t just “trying” to hit the ball, you’re playing the game.

Stop waiting until your game is “good enough” to get coached. Start the process today and watch how quickly your potential becomes your reality.

🏆 1 PGA Tour Event
🏆 6 PGA Club Professional Championships
🏆 4 Senior PGA Club Professional Championships

John’s Coaching Philosophy:
John believes in a total-game approach. While he emphasizes fundamentals and the joy of the game, his expertise covers the “Complete 5”:
1️⃣ The Mental Game: Staying composed under pressure.
2️⃣ The Short Game: Precision around the greens (his specialty!).
3️⃣ Putting: Turning those three-putts into tap-ins.
4️⃣ Full Swing: Building a repeatable, powerful move.
5️⃣ Course Management: Learning how to actually score, not just hit.

Here is a reality check: Roughly 40% of your strok Here is a reality check: Roughly 40% of your strokes happen on the green. ⛳️ 

If you’re spending all your time at the range chasing ball speed but haven’t checked the loft, lie, or launch angle of your putter, you’re leaving your score up to chance. Even a 1° error in your face angle at impact is the difference between a center-cut birdie and a frustrated par.

At SMART Golf & Fitness, our putter fittings strip away the mystery. We use elite data to match a putter’s specs to your natural stroke, turning that “magic wand” into a calibrated instrument of precision.

Stop guessing. Start rolling.

At SMART Golf & Fitness, we use MAT to identify and correct muscular imbalances that can lead to injury and plateaued performance. Think of it as a "tune-up" for your nervous system.

What does it take for a strong amateur player to r What does it take for a strong amateur player to reach the "next level"? For CJ, it was a two-year journey of precision, discipline, and a total refinement of her game.

When CJ first started working with Coach Todd at SMART, she already had a powerful foundation. But to find that elite consistency, she and Todd went to work on the "fine-tuning" that separates the good from the great. The strategy involved rebuilding her move to achieve predictable shot shapes and controlled trajectories, redefining her physical technique and mental approach around the greens, and combining technical golf coaching with the physical discipline required to stay efficient.

The Result? A swing that stands up under pressure and a short game that CJ can finally rely on.

"CJ has dedicated an extraordinary amount of time, effort, and focus to these improvements. I’m incredibly proud of her commitment and positive attitude. She’s a fantastic representative of what SMART is all about." - Coach Todd

CJ, we are so proud to have you representing the SMART community. Your discipline is an inspiration to every golfer looking to shave those final few strokes off their handicap!
