Last week we got an early look at Fringe Golf before they open in New Era Square in Sheffield this March.

4 Trackman bays (including one of the biggest simulator screens we've seen), a Zengreenstage setup for putting lessons with Phil Kenyon Putting instructor Ben Mason Golf, and coaching available with PGA Pros Horsman and Rob Calderbank.

It's an incredible set up — an indoor golf club with everything you could ever want to improve your game.

We're excited to be working alongside them to help golfers perform at their best.

I've reduced pain and stiffness and now I’m hitting it further and straighter. Friends who I have played with for years have commented on the difference. I was worried about how much time I would need to commit to the programme, but the routines are short and easy to fit in. The work I’ve done with JHGF has improved my enjoyment of my favourite activity and I’m confident they could do the same for golfers of any level of ability or physical condition.

The ANCORE Trainer is one of our most-used pieces of equipment in the facility — involved in nearly every session. Its quick setup allows us to tailor strength, control, and rotational drills for each client.

Working with Jon Hodgkinson Golf Fitness has been a great experience. The clear and personalised programme has truly enabled me to play more often. I've noticed I'm getting fewer injuries, which is a significant improvement for me.

A huge thanks to Adam Parkes for travelling to spend a few days with us last week as he continues his masters degree in physiotherapy.

He got the chance to get a front row seat over a busy back end to the week looking at how we assess and train our clients in-person whilst also meeting the team that make it all tick.

We take it as a huge compliment that practitioners are willing to reach out and learn from us, and where possible we always try to make the time for them.

What a great few days away in Wales playing Clwb Golff Nefyn Golf Club and Royal St.David's Golf Club - Clwb Golff Brenhinol Dewi Sant this past weekend.

The weather gods looked down on us fondly in October and there was some quality golf to match up to the setting.

Each match coming down to the last hole on both days.

"The Point" at Nefyn, originally the front 9, before more inland holes were built in the 1930's is without doubt the coolest 9-hole loop you could start a golf trip with (especially considering the beach-front pub stop after the 6th). A great warm-up to the full 18 which boasts an incredible coastline backdrop.

Royal St David's under the shadow of Harlech Castle is one of those courses where accuracy off the tee is needed. Avoid the bunker's and it's scorable, otherwise you'll have to take your medicine.

Good times with childhood mates and memories that will last a lifetime.

As the season starts to close out here in the UK this twilight shot from yesterday’s round encapsulates a very productive spring and summer of competitive golf for myself and many of our clients.

Here’s to an even more successful autumn and winter of progress in the gym and indoor simulator studio.

Putting the hard yards in behind the scenes will be the focus as those dark nights and colder days start to creep in.

I am driving the ball an extra 25 yards. My overall flexibility has improved and my body feels much stronger. I was impressed with the way Jon layers the exercises to first improve flexibility, then build strength and finally add power.

Another great afternoon of staff training.

This is a regular fixture in the diary to ensure our service standards are always at the highest level possible.

This week we explored testing protocols for the hip and pelvis with the use of our VALD Performance dynamo.

These sessions have been great for getting discussion going on the best way to test and how to interpret results with all staff members actively getting involved.

It's a real team effort and we couldn't be happier with the one we've started to build so far.

We’re excited to introduce the newest member of our team — Jacob Whitehurst, who has joined us as a permanent coach.

Jacob is a former professional golfer whose career was cut short by chronic lower back pain. That experience sparked a deep interest in injury rehab and physical preparation, ultimately leading him to retrain, rehab his own body, and pursue a career in golf fitness.

Since then, he’s gone on to earn a first-class degree in Sport & Exercise Science and is now studying for a PhD in Sport Science at Loughborough University — one of the UK’s leading institutions in the field. He also brings over five years of hands-on coaching experience, working with everyone from everyday gym-goers looking to get out of pain to elite-level athletes.

Most importantly, Jacob is exactly the kind of coach we look for — caring, down-to-earth, highly knowledgeable, and fully aligned with our mission of helping golfers move better and enjoy the game for years to come. His addition to the team will help us continue raising the standard of coaching we offer — particularly in how we assess, monitor, and programme for long-term performance.

I’ve been golfing for nearly 50 years and Jon has given me a new lease of life in the game. Aches & pains are much reduced, I’ve regained distance off the tee, and I’m also able to play 36 holes per day when required. This was unthinkable a couple of years ago.
