In this episode of Wicked Smart Golf, I'm joined by Pete Holman—a physical therapist, certified strength and conditioning specialist, and the inventor behind products like the GolfForever Swing Trainer.
Pete has worked with elite athletes across the MLB, NFL, NBA, UFC, X-Games, and even Hollywood stars like Kevin Costner. He's also a former U.S. National TaeKwon-Do champion, so he understands performance at the highest level.
In this conversation, we break down how golfers can train smarter, stay injury-free, and actually use fitness to play better golf—without overcomplicating it.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The 3 pillars of golf fitness (mobility, strength, balance) and how to keep your training simple but effective
- Why a 5–10 minute dynamic warm-up can completely change how you start your rounds
- How to use your hips and glutes to generate real power instead of relying on your arms
- The importance of endurance and conditioning to stay sharp on the back nine
- The "reset mechanism" elite athletes use to move on from bad shots instantly
And more tips to improve your golf fitness and attack life!
