Tim Corcoran
Tim Corcoran is a Physical Therapist Assistant who is Titleist Performance Institute Certified. He has worked at Woodloch for 9+ years and he is now able to offer another skill set to the newly established Woodloch Golf Performance Academy.

TPI can show how physical and medical limitations in a players body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury/further injury and decrease swing efficiency.
Throughout history golfers will buy the newest equipment to help their game but do not spend any time or money assessing the prime mover of their new equipment…your body. Pain or limitation may come from external reasons such as improperly fit clubs but it may also come from physical limitations.
