For Golf Professionals
Coach the Swing and the body behind it.
Your players’ Swings are limited by what their bodies can do. The DRVN Certification lets you coach both, without becoming a fitness coach.
A Professional Already Running It
If you have done all the things it would take to get there, whether or not you get it does not make any difference. You did the work. That is how life goes.
Eric coaches Golf and mental performance out of Vitality Golf in Watertown, the only performance facility for a hundred miles. He came to DRVN because the methodology matched where he was already taking his practice, and because the Golf Fitness Handicap™ put a number on what he had been telling adults for years: the body has to be ready before the Swing can be.
Implementation
What it looks like on your lesson tee.
Six changes to how you coach. None of them ask you to become a personal trainer.
See the real constraint
When a Swing fault is physical, technical coaching cannot fix it. Ten tests show you which faults are the body and which are genuinely your department.
One number between you and the player
The Golf Fitness Handicap™ gives you and your players a shared language for physical readiness, and something concrete to work against between lessons.
A PGA-selected CPD course
Twelve sections, 86 modules, and 40+ videos of golf-specific movement and biomechanics, recognised as continuing professional development.
Recurring revenue on top of the lesson book
Paid assessments, quarterly retests, and training blocks add a layer that keeps earning between bookings, plus $40 on every app referral.
Directory listing and referral network
Golfers searching for a credentialed professional find you, and the Certified Pro network refers work in both directions.
Marketing and social amplification
Media packs, branded assets, and collaborations across a network of 200,000 followers. Your coaching reaches past your own club.
From the Founder
Built by a PGA Professional, for PGA Professionals.
I am a PGA Professional. I coach every day. But I also own and run a CrossFit gym, and that combination showed me the gap between what golfers need physically and what our industry actually delivers.
Golfers would come to me for lessons and I could see their physical limitations holding them back. I could prescribe a Swing change, but without addressing the body it would never stick.
DRVN was built to bridge that gap. Not to turn PGA Pros into personal trainers, but to give us the tools to assess, communicate, and either deliver or intelligently co-manage the fitness component. It is the system I wish existed when I started coaching.
