GOLFFOREVER Launches Strategic Partnership with InvitedLeading golf fitness brand to provide education, tools, and training products to an esteemed network of golf clubs nationwideGOLFFOREVER, the industry-leading at-home golf fitness training system that helps golfers play without limits, is pleased to announce it has partnered with Invited (the company formerly known as ClubCorp), the largest owner-operator of private clubs in the world with more than 200 golf, city, and stadium clubs across the country.Invited will offer special access to the 4.9 App Store-rated GOLFFOREVER app and GOLFFOREVER training and recovery products, such as the GOLFFOREVER Swing Trainer, in 12 premier golf and country clubs before expanding into additional Invited clubs nationwide. These pilot clubs will also feature GOLFFOREVER warm-up and post-round recovery stations, as well as workout stations in their gyms. All will prominently feature the Swing Trainer, which pairs the first-ever multi-use golf fitness and warm-up tool with video-streaming routines for flexibility, speed, power, and recovery in the GOLFFOREVER app. Additionally, Invited teaching pros, club fitters, and trainers will integrate GOLFFOREVER into their lessons, fittings, and training sessions. “We ’ re honored for this incredible opportunity to impact the fitness, performance, and longevity of Invited Club members on and off the golf course, ” says Stacy Borkowski, GOLFFOREVER VP of Sales. “ Invited clubs represent some of the most engaged golfers in the country, and our training system will raise their level of play and enjoyment of golf more than ever. Ultimately, in addition to helping improve members’ flexibility, power, and ability to stay pain-free, our alignment with Invited’s forward-thinking leadership is about improving lives, which is at the core of their mission and ours.” GOLFFOREVER is the first golf-specific home training program to embrace the approach of home exercise equipment paired with streaming video instruction from the world’s leading experts in golf performance and pain relief. GOLFFOREVER customizes each golfer’s exercise routines specifically for them, based on a proprietary strength and flexibility test. It is safe and highly effective for any golfer.The Invited-GOLFFOREVER relationship, in addition to two visionary businesses aligning philosophically, has an authentic connection that ’ s personally impacted Invited CEO, David Pillsbury. In recent weeks, Pillsbury was referred to GOLFFOREVER ’ s Director of Strategic Initiatives, Dr. Troy Van Biezen, for relief of sciatic pain, which he had unsuccessfully sought from several other sources. Van Biezen, who is also a PGA Tour performance coach and trainer to Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Ryan Palmer, and other professional athletes, quickly observed Pillsbury had pelvis misalignment, hip instability and limited hip and mid back rotation which was causing extreme stress on his low back and enough pain to affect his daily activities and sleep. So, he treated Pillsbury and encouraged the use of GOLFFOREVER to address the issue. To Pillsbury’s amazement, he was soon hitting balls at the range and sleeping completely pain-free. “ The fact that David was able to experience the benefits of our program firsthand has been a great way for Invited to envision just how much we can positively impact the lives of their membership,” Van Biezen says. “It’s exciting to think of how many more golfers we can help through this relationship. It doesn’t matter if you’re Scottie Scheffler on the PGA Tour or the average golfer looking for some extra yards and playing without pain. GOLFFOREVER helps your body turn and move more easily in your swing, and you’ll play better because of it.” “GOLFFOREVER is truly a game-changer and has helped me immeasurably,” said Invited CEO David Pillsbury. “The mobile app is completely intuitive, and the exercise content is designed for on-the-go people who don’t have time to spend hours in the gym every day. We are excited to add GOLFFOREVER to our comprehensive health and wellness offering to help our members play better and more often.” Scheffler, the 2021-22 PGA Tour Player of the Year who is one of over 100 PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions, and LPGA Tour pros using GOLFFOREVER, started working with the groundbreaking Swing Trainer weeks before winning four PGA Tour events, including the Masters, which catapulted him to World No. 1. The Swing Trainer is a first-of-its-kind golf training tool that combines a patent-pending cord-driven asymmetrical training bar with an interchangeable D3 Swing Weighted heavy warmup club. Both uses are powered by hundreds of warm-up, flexibility, and strength-building routines in the GOLFFOREVER app.About Invited (formerly ClubCorp)Since its founding in 1957, Dallas-based Invited has operated with the mission of Building Relationships and Enriching Lives®.

By PGTAA member Dr. Patrick CohnDo you have fun competing in tournaments? Do you enjoy exploring your potential or does competition make your feel stressed? Golf is enjoyable for many reasons. You may have fun in practice. You might have a lot of friends on your team. You might like to master skills... Nevertheless, the tricky question is: are you excited about playing and the challenges of competing? For many golfers, performance pressure outweighs the joy of competing.But did you know you can feel pressure, still have fun, and perform at your peak? The key is managing your expectations. When expectations are unrealistically high, such as I have to hit every shot solid or straight, you experience greater pressure. Every shot you make, you feel, is being scrutinized. You second-guess every decision. You feel the need to be perfect. When you are unable to manage expectations, your game will be off. High expectations and pressure make it difficult to enjoy the experience of competing. For example, a high school golfer may believe he must score 75 or less to earn a scholarship to his dream college. Playing for this college team has been his goal for years. He thinks if he doesn’t receive a scholarship, he will not be able to afford tuition or play at the Division I level. During rounds, he second-guesses every shot. His high expectations cause so much pressure that he overthinks and under performs on in matches. Managing expectations is a balancing act between challenging yourself and enjoying what you are doing. In 2022, Morgan Turner signed her first professional soccer contract with Sport Clube União (S.C.U.) Torreense of the first division of Portuguese women’s soccer. Before playing in Portugal, Turner had a prolific career at DePaul University, scoring 31 goals in 80 appearances. Turner is excited by the challenge of playing at the next level and enjoying the moment. TURNER: “I’ve always wanted to play professionally. Playing professionally has been my ultimate goal, so since I’ve been here, I’ve just been enjoying where I’m at and just enjoying the moment… It’s been a blast being here. I really love living in Portugal, and it’s been so much fun to play on a new team and start my professional career.” When you manage expectations, you will not over-emphasize the importance of a competition. You will play freely and have fun while competing. Peak performance is a balancing act. To compete at your peak, you need to be excited about the challenge and stretch your abilities while managing expectations to minimize pressure. You can have fun at any competitive level. Enjoying the challenge is the key. Remember, how you view pressure or challenge can change your experience and help ignite your passion for competing. Ask yourself, “Why did I love playing golf when I was younger?” “Why did I choose to play golf in the first place?” “What made the game fun?” Mental Training for a Competitive Edge888-742-7225 | 407-909-1700 (local)www.peaksports.comwww.sportspsychologygolf.com/You want to take a new perspective about the game and know why you participate. Worry and pressure lead to being serious. Enjoying the challenge leads to fun. ... See MoreSee Less

Now on Tour: Next GenerationTitleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x Golf BallsThe new 2023 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls made their PGA TOUR debut last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship – a week earlier than expected. Titleist’s tour seeding and validation process for 2023 Pro V1 and Pro V1x – the next generation of the most trusted golf balls on the PGA TOUR and at every level of competitive golf – had been scheduled to begin this week at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas. In the days leading up to Sanderson Farms, however, Titleist tour reps received multiple requests from Garrick Higgo, M.J. Daffue and Gary Woodland – each of whom had done extensive testing during the prototyping process – asking to put the new balls in play as soon as possible.The final Pro V1 and Pro V1x prototypes, manufactured at Titleist Ball Plant 3 in New Bedford, Mass., were delivered overnight and arrived Tuesday morning at The Country Club of Jackson in Titleist’s white box prototype packaging.On Thursday, Higgo (Pro V1), Daffue (Pro V1x) and Woodland (Pro V1x) became the first three players to game the 2023 models in competition. Four holes into his first round, Daffue’s NEW Pro V1x rolled into the cup at the 182-yard par-3 4th for an ace. Playing his NEW Pro V1, Higgo led the field in birdies (24), closing in 4-under 68 Sunday to finish one shot out of the playoff.Gathering feedback from the game’s best players through every stage of the R&D process and then earning their validation under the pressure of competition are critical elements in the development of all high-performance Titleist golf balls and equipment. Today, Titleist’s flagship models are trusted by more than 72 percent of players across the PGA TOUR and major worldwide tours, while the percentages are even higher at the game’s biggest amateur, college and junior events. Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls were also used by the winners of all four men’s major championships in 2022: Scottie Scheffler (Pro V1), Justin Thomas (Pro V1x), Matt Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) and Cameron Smith (Pro V1x). “The Pro V1 and ProV1x, as a whole, are the best balls in golf so it’s hard to say, ‘How are you going to possibly make that ball better when it’s already the best?’” said Jordan Spieth, who has won his three major championships and 13 PGA TOUR victories playing a Pro V1x. “I think when you think of anything being the best, you’re really going against yourself then. You’re trying to beat your former self versus worrying about the competition. And I think Titleist does that. They continue to push being the best and continuing to stay No. 1 – and that’s a really difficult thing to do.” Over the next three practice days in Las Vegas, Titleist Golf Ball R&D reps Fordie Pitts and Jeff Beyers will be working with players as they continue to test the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x models – from the short-game area, to the driving range, to the golf course. The process will continue over the coming weeks and months with professionals and elite amateurs around the world, as well as members of Team Titleist. “First thing I’ll always do is take them to the short game area. For me, that’s always the most important,” said longtime Pro V1 player and reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler. “From there I’ll go to the range and just look at numbers, carry, stuff like that. From there, I’ll go out on the course and just start hitting shots. So same thing I do in the short game area, have a few of my ball, have a few of the new ball and just try and hit the same shot and see how the ball reacts, see what it does in the wind and just go from there. “One shot that I’m always practicing is when I take some off of it. I need to see that it’s still the same (distance) gaps between my full shot and when I’m taking some off of it. When I’m practicing on the driving range, if I have a little mishit or if a shot doesn’t feel right...I usually have a really good feel for how far it actually carried. If my stock wedge is 140 and I’m trying to hit at 135, and maybe I catch a little bit off and I’m like, ‘man that really feels like 132,’ if it goes that distance, that’s really important to me. And that gives me a lot of faith in what that golf ball’s going to do.” ... See MoreSee Less
