Back in the Swing - Coaching Golfers Returning After ACL Reconstruction

Back in the Swing explores how PGA Professionals can support golfers returning to golf following ACL reconstruction, and the important role coaches can play alongside the golfer’s medical team. Based on an evidence-informed return-to-golf framework, the audiobook introduces a six-phase progression — from putting and short-game activities through to full swings and a graduated return to the course. It also explores how coaches can manage golf-specific progression, recognise potential swing compensations, adjust setup and swing variables, and communicate effectively with physiotherapists and other medical professionals.
