A Decathlete Takes Up Golf-with a Passion

Mike's athletic career spans more than 30 years and culminated in Track and Field where he was regionally (Pac 10) and nationally ranked in the javelin from 1982 to 1987; Mike made All Pac 10 in 1983.

After graduating from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology, he moved on to decathlon competition and was a nationally-ranked decathlete for Canada from 1987 to 1989.

Mike has been certified by the American Council on Exercise since 1986. He worked as fitness director of a major health club chain and has had his own private fitness business for 16 years.

When his track-and-field career wound down, Mike picked up golf recreationally, then became obsessed with the game. "I bought every video, took every lesson I could, and read books to understand the golf swing."

At first, Mike began studying the golf swing just to improve his own game (he plays to a single-digit handicap and can consistently drive the ball over 300 yards!).

Then he began applying his knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics of the swing to the individual golfers he works with.

Mike has given many seminars on Fitness for Golf to golfers at all levels and of all ages as well as to teaching golf pros. He is the author of the best-selling book, The Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide, and has written extensively on this subject, and published articles include "Get Fit To Play Better Golf" (Sun Golf Magazine) "Golf Fitness: The Missing Link" (Arizona Golf Association Magazine) "Play Consistently for 18 Holes" (Sun Golf Magazine), and "Hit It Longer And Straighter" (Arizona Golfer).
