Prior to working with Garrie I had previously been screened, and found I had serious fundamental problems with flexibility, stability and power. Early extension due to poor flexibility and stability and loss of posture due to poor scapula control led to a flippy hitting action requiring very good timing to perform. I could explain why I had such difficulties swinging the club the way I wanted to. It did however feel like a daunting task left to do to get my body to where I wanted it to. When I met Garrie he convinced me we could do it. Garrie first gave me a screening about June this year and found the problem areas straight away. He originally gave me flexibility and stability exercises to do. We worked together once a week for an hour and I trained on my own the other days. My biggest problem has been getting myself to do the exercises on my own. Garrie's one to one training has really pushed me to improve. This was seen in a follow up screening in July which found my flexibility had improved immensely and my balance and proprioception was so much better. We have since moved tact a little and started to work more on the strength side and resolve once and for all my shockingly bad dorsiflexion of the feet. Garrie is very knowledgeable about what he is doing and I have seen great results since working with him. I have already signed up with him for a year as I have full confidence he and I can get my body to where I want it to to get me back playing full time. Eamon Brady Professional Golfer I would like to thank you for conducting the exercise course I attended this past spring. My golf swing was suffering from a limited motion on the follow through. After the course, I found I was able to complete my swing which added greatly to my game. In general, I felt more limber and relaxed. I recommend your course to anyone as I feel it is a positive approach to a better golf game and improved health. Thanks again. I started a golf fitness class with Garrie at the start of May. I found the mobility classes very useful and found that I was hitting the ball better. The core work I found difficult but they paid off in the end. I'm able to hit the ball much further and I find I'm not as tired coming in from 18 holes. I lost 8 shots on my handicap since I started the classes and I am sure that I'll keep losing shots if I continue the routines. Thanks, Katie Fennelly Clontarf Golf Club I have been attending Garrie's training sessions for 3 months, fortnightly and following his programme of exercises. He runs a highly professional programme to suit the ability of his clients'.I have found his programme has improved considerably my bodies mobility in relation to my golf swing. I have added considerably to my distance (30 yards to my drive) and accuracy of direction in golf shots. I met Garrie in the middle of last November, when he was organising his first session in Sutton Golf Club. For the last 3 years, before playing i have had to take medication to cope with the arthritis in my neck, spine, toes and most of all my hips, especially right hip. This dealt with the pain 98% of the time, but I had lost confidence in turning into my right hip on the back swing. I now know that using my core was nowhere near strong enough to compensate. Would working with Garrie aggravate the condition? There was a genuine fear that my body might break down completely. I discussed the matter with my physio, chiropractor and G.P and received unanimous advice – Go for it. First session class with Garrie was in December and 5 minutes into the class having been introduced to the joys of the bridge, plank and prone cobra I was asking myself some serious questions. Christmas was a bit of a disruption but on the 8th of January i started to take it more serious and since then I have been exercising 6 days a week for 45minutes a day. I am also in the middle of the 3rd set of sessions with Garrie and since January the back has been particularly well behaved, I have increased my swing speed from 97 mph to 102 mph, the swing is much more stable and the core feels much stronger. The end product is that playing golf is much more enjoyable. Thank you Garrie for all the help, advice and encouragement. Michael Hanway – European Teachers Golf Federation (ETGF) Sutton Golf Club "Since I have started working with Garrie on my core stability and flexibility i have seen a great improvement in my golf game. My swing has improved a huge amount due to the improvement in my flexibility and general conditioning program. I believe golfers of all ages and ability would see improvement in their golf game with the help of Garrie's expertise" Ed Martin Head Professional Beaverstown Golf club
Having received an advertisement slip in the door of my home referring to helping resolve lower back pain issues I was immediately interested in finding out more. I was interested because the advertisement slip came from GolfVision as I had noticed my back pain particularly after a long drive in my car or after playing a round of golf.

I went to Garrie to improve my conditioning, and by doing so it improved my golf game substantially more than I thought it would. With my improved posture, strong core and flexibility I am now hitting the ball farther than I ever have with less effort. With this combination I am also hitting more fairways and my scores have started to tumble down. I strongly recommend at least 5 sessions with Garrie for the golfer who is serious about becoming a better player. The sessions are paying for themselves as I’m constantly winning money from all my friends. Thanks a mill Garrie for all your help and I know this is going to be a huge success for you. Yours sincerely, I have been working with Garrie for over 2 months now. When I first started with Garrie he went through a full fitness analysis with me to find out what my strengths and weakness were in my body. From the results, he designed a program specifically for me. I have noticed a real improvement in my flexibility and mobility. We are now going to be incorporating more core and strength work into my routine. I would highly recommend Garrie to anyone who is looking to improve their game and who is serious about their golf. I have been working with Garrie for the last 12 weeks to improve my general fitness levels and strength. Garrie started by doing a complete analysis of my posture and going through everything from diet to my strong and weak points. He designed a specific workout routine for me which he has been updating with new exercises every week. I have noticed a huge improvement in my physical strength, flexibility and core stability, and plan to continue going in 2009!
Garrie has helped me identify, understand and target physical limitations, which could affect my ability to use my body efficiently in my swing. His knowledge of the body and how it works in the golf swing is impressive and the exercises he has shown me has given me a few extra yards off the tee. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him and found that he helps keep me motivated.
