FROM THE FOUNDER
Why I Built DRVN
I'm a PGA Professional. I coach every day. But I also own and run a CrossFit gym — and that combination showed me something most golf pros never see: the massive 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. Meanwhile, fitness professionals had the training knowledge but no framework for applying it to golf.
DRVN was built to bridge that gap — to give golf professionals like us a structured, evidence-informed system for addressing the physical side of performance. 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.
The methodology has been shaped by physiotherapists, world long drive champions, PGA Tour competitors, and S&C professionals. It's the system I wish existed when I started coaching.
