Overview

Swing faults often come from the body, not the club. You don’t need an assessment certification to fix them—you need golf-specific progressions that restore mobility, stability, and rotational power. 3DFGC gives you ready-to-use drills that mirror address, backswing, and finish—so players feel the difference in a single session.

Developed by Gray Institute® in collaboration with the Golf Fitness Association of America (GFAA), this course is tailored for PGA/LPGA teaching pros, personal trainers, physical therapists, and high school & college coaches who work with golfers. Why golf pros recommend this program.

What Golf Professionals Are Saying

“The information is understandable while comprehensive, and the various exercises can be accomplished predominantly without any additional equipment. This program is clear, concise, thorough and practical for life as well as for golf-specific flexibility, stability and mobility. It nails the fundamentals, so I recommend it for every serious golf coach.”

– Phil Owenby, PGAManager and Industry Advisor, OTPS LLC

“Anyone who makes the claim to be an expert in any field of either golf or the human body—or who wants to make that claim—needs the education within these certifications. Understanding the basic principles of Applied Functional Science will instantly set you apart from others in your field.”

– Michael O'Donnell, PGAFormer Senior Director of Coaching & Player Development, The PGA of America

“If I was starting my career in golf now, I would start with understanding how the body actually works. It is the route by which the game is enjoyed and how players improve both their health and their games.”

– Michael Sizemore, PGADirector of Golf, The Club at ArrowCreek

FAQ

Do I need to learn an assessment?

No. 3DFGC is assessment-free. You’ll use swing-mapped progressions and simple tweak logic to create change.
Can I use this indoors?

Yes—no special facility needed. Works at the range, in a studio, or in a clinic.
How soon will players notice a difference?

Many coaches report immediate changes in mobility, strike, and comfort when drills are done before practice.
Do I need 3DFMC first?

No. 3DFGC stands alone. (You can add 3DFMC later if you want more foundational movement progressions.)
Are CEUs or PGA PDRs available?

These are coming soon! Check back for specific information as continuing education approvals are finalized.
