Coach D. Franz McFayden

​

Golf and Performance was born out of a desire to make golf instruction about the students’ learning abilities and natural bio-mechanics to make their golf swing functional, so they can play their best golf and obtain what they truly want to achieve. Starting with health and wellness, I wanted people to have fun in learning while being healthy.

As a coach with 30 years of experience in many disciplines, I take a 'wholistic' approach when working with others. I have had the benefit of actively competing in multiple sports at an international level, as well as coaching many of those same sports. This has taught me balance, which is ultimately what I hope to have you achieve.

I am diligent in ensuring that my students receive advice on golf-specific and general conditioning through multiple forms of functional movement training (battle ropes, kettlebells, HIIT and TRX Suspension/RIP Training, Olympic Weightlifting protocols, etc), and am committed to continuously improving my own skills and knowledge, because of my tremendous passion for the game.

Coaching all aspects of the game including Peak Performance Mental Coaching for high performance athletes and specializing in the Short Game/Wedge play for scoring!
