Vibhavadi Golf Performance Center
Banish Your Golfing Blues With Vibhavadi Golf Performance Center– By Simon Nathan
 Why am I not consistent in hitting my ball straight and far? Why am I unable to hit in the right direction or reach the right distance? Why can’t I always hit the green in one on a par 3? How many times have I 1-putted or 2-putted? Why am I unable to center the ball on the sweet spot of my putter? While swinging, which muscles am I using, overusing, or not using at all?
It is as important to play golf correctly as to play it safely. Whether you are a serious golfer determined to make a professional career or a recreational golfer playing just for fun, it is important to play golf in the right way it should be played – both in respect of technique and safety – and to tone up your physique so that it is best-suited for playing golf. For golfers seeking to iron out their long and short game deficiencies and/or looking for the perfect fitness regimen, here’s some really GOOD NEWS!
Equipped with state-of-the-art analytical gadgets and exercising stations, the center provides golfers invaluable advice and guidance. By joining the center as members, young golfers can master the game and pave the way for a successful professional career in golf, while seniors can strengthen their body structure, avoid accidental injuries or damage to muscle tissues and enjoy the game to the fullest extent. One of the devices used by the center to analyze putting is SAM PuttLab® - the world’s first analysis and training system that provides complete putting analysis. Based on accurate ultrasound measurements, the wireless system analyzes 28 most important parameters of a putting stroke and displays the results in easy to understand graphic reports. Endorsed by PGA Tour pros such as Tiger Woods, Mark Wilson and Thongchai Jaidee, SAM PuttLab gives golfers an individual feedback on their putting strokes within seconds. The analysis reveals even the smallest details of your movements that your coach cannot see and allows you to develop improvements and training strategies accordingly. It utilizes ultrasound sensory analysis and therefore is far more precise than any other similar system on the market. With the help of SAM PuttLab, golfers can discover their individual strengths and weaknesses for a better and more efficient putting. Those who benefited from using SAM PuttLab include. Explaining more about the services offered by the V-Golf Center, Vibhavadi Hospital Medical Director Dr. Werayudth Chaopricha said the center’s EMG (electromygraphy) Monitor can identify the electrical muscle activity in the shoulders, hips, knees and legs in golfers while they perform the golf swing and suggest whether the muscles are used optimally or overused. Based on the EMG report, we can find any discrepancies in a golfer’s swing and suggest ways to correct them and optimize their performance.
The hospital’s Orthopedist and V-Golf Center expert Dr. Panya Khaimuk said eight exercise stations, including Cardio Cruiser (for aerobic power), Rotatotor (for strengthening of abdominal and back muscles), Leg Press (for knees and leg muscles) Rowing (for shoulder girdle and back muscles), Shoulder Press (for shoulders and arm muscles), Triceps Dip (elbow extensors), are available at the center. Golfers can condition their physique with a regular workout on these equipments, he pointed.
