Golficity, an industry leader for golf news, instruction, and best know for The Golf Podcast, visited Golf & Body NYC this past December for their “Golf Dream Day”. In their vlog episode, co-founders Frank and Mike Fasano document the day beginning with a club fitting with Pete’s Golf Shop, Golf & Body’s exclusive club fitter. Completing the full comprehensive golf experience, the guys from Golficity got their game assessed from a physical and performance perspective with our professional staff, identifying the golf and body connection to improve their game. Thanks for stopping by guys! GBNYC is proud to be part of your “Golf Dream Day”!

Thank you to the Metropolitan PGA for allowing us to host one of the seminars in the educational winter series! Director of Fitness, Kirk Adams alongside performance coach, Jason Jenkins, presented “Winning Off the Course: How to Use Fitness, Nutrition and Recovery to Lower Your Scores”. Kirk and Jason discussed topics such as removing the physical roadblocks in your swing, using the gym to hit the ball farther and pre- and post-round nutrition. We are honored to have hosted the MetPGA and the professionals who attended! Looking forward to a healthier and stronger 2018 golf season!

18STRONG, golf’s leading podcast, hosted GBNYC’s Director of Fitness this week to discuss how to “winterize your golf body”. 18STRONG’s mission is to help golfers train hard, practice smart, and play better golf. In this episode, Kirk talked about how to maximize your results with more efficient workouts, how to use kettlebells in your workouts and what you should include in each workout.

Golf & Body NYC was honored to host The Dapper Drive as the first stop on their golf road trip “The Spring to Streamsong”! This 10-day trip from New York to Florida kicked off with a reception at the club.

Jordan Griggs, founder, author and amateur golfer said of Golf & Body NYC, “Having lived in Manhattan for 3-years myself, I know what a struggle it can be to keep the golf game sharp. While members enjoy practicing on the same simulators you might smack balls into during an event, the use of trackman and a lineup of decorated PGA instructors take the experience one step further. From fixing a slice to dialing in your numbers or fitting-up the perfect set of custom clubs, Golf & Body NYC really offers it all.”

Follow Stewart Hagestad, 2016 Mid-Amateur Champion, 2017 Masters Tournament Low Amateur and most recently, part of The Walker Cup winning team as he revisits his old stomping grounds from Wall Street up to Golf & Body NYC. Check out his interview with GOLF.com and a peak inside the club here! 

Golf Digest writes, “The best year of Stewart Hagestad’s life got even better on Sunday afternoon when he delivered the point that essentially guaranteed a U.S. victory in the Walker Cup, played at a club at which he is a member.”

Stew Hagestad, low amateur of the 2017 Masters, qualifier for the U.S. Open and esteemed Golf & Body member was recently featured in Golf Digest’s September issue with GBNYC mentioned as one of the places that aided in the preparation for his success.   

“Puzzling as Hagestad’s decision to not turn pro might seem, the lesson is that the best golf of your life can happen at any moment. A few years out of college working in Manhattan as a financial analyst, seeing kids he knew from junior golf playing on TV, this would’ve been the traditional time to let his game go downhill. Instead, Hagestad joined Deepdale (N.Y.) Golf Club as a junior member and made a habit of dawn practice sessions. Then, after work, he’d hit up Golf & Body NYC, a private gym with golf simulators a short walk from his apartment.”
