LEARN MOREThe 4 Core Pillars of the Retreat
Training and performance
You’ll be given a step by step blueprint of exactly how and what you need to do to optimize the way you train, prepare, and recover from playing golf. Learn how to train like the pros by embracing pre round mobility warm up routines, post round cool-downs and therapies, curated menu items, and a program to navigate your training after you leave the trip.
Inclusion of other aspects of performance
At the retreats, we will bring in other professionals at the top of their fields from mental game coaching, club fitting, instruction, hot/cold therapy, nutrition and more. We will integrate every piece of the performance puzzle and educate you on the best ways to maximize the way you move and feel on and off the course.
Social interaction
Meet and hang out with other golf enthusiasts like yourself. We’ll have fun competitions, private dinners, and down time to get to know each other and connect on all things golf. You may even grab an invite to a club you’ve been wanting to play!
Play great golf
Come to some of the best golf destinations in the country, enjoy beautiful hotels, and get ready to have some fun on the course.
The retreat will be a blueprint to guide you step by step for exactly what you need in order to prevent injury, increase mobility, gain distance and play pain-free golf.
I’ll be there to answer questions, provide insight, and help you navigate your path toward playing this game as well as you can for as long as you can.
Come prepared to play awesome golf, train and learn from some of the best in the industry, and leave feeling much better than when you arrived!
GOLF PERFORMANCE RETREAT
Why You Should Attend
The retreat was created as a way to educate golfers about the best and most effective ways to take care of their bodies and promote health and longevity. So many people play this game but are unsure as to whether what they are doing in the gym is beneficial for their game.
Are your current workouts adding distance & building club head speed? Is your stretching routine actually increasing flexibility? Take the guesswork out as you will leave the retreat knowing exactly what strategies to implement not just in your workouts, but in all other golf trips in the future.
I have worked with hundreds of golfers over the years and have the knowledge and expertise to teach you how to get the most out of your body.
Come to the retreat with an open mind – it will be a gateway to allow you to increase flexibility, play pain-free, and outdrive your buddies!
Who is the Golf Performance Retreat for?
- Golfers who value and embrace the role of exercise and wellness in their lives.
- Someone who understands that mobility, strength and overall performance can drastically improve their golf game as well as dramatically reduce the risk of injury.
- The retreat will bring like-minded people together to have fun, play golf and network.
- This trip attracts those who want to surround themselves with the best people, information and education out there to make sure what they are doing actually works!
We will only be accepting 7 spots!
ENROLL NOWWho is this Retreat NOT for?
- Someone looking to come on a guys trip to drink their face off and party. This is not for you if you’re not willing to put yourself out there, try new things, invest in meeting new people and be open to learning things that may be different than what you’ve heard before.
- Additionally, there will be a carefully curated schedule so if you don't plan on sticking to it, and want a bunch of time to yourself to do your own thing, this isn’t the right trip for you.
- While there is planned downtime to chill, there will be a lot of time spent together in the gym, on the course and during meals. If you’re coming by yourself, be willing to socialize and meet other avid golfers.
- To reiterate, this is a “performance” retreat with a heavy emphasis on exercise, nutrition and a lack of alcohol. While you won’t be asked to leave if you have a drink or two, the focus of this trip is very different from a typical buddies trip where you leave feeling run down, tired and broken down.

The thought and detail he uses putting the workout programs together gives me the confidence to just show up and get the work done knowing that we will see the results we are hoping to see. He is available, encouraging and really knows his stuff. My body feels great and I can feel the changes when I'm golfing, but can also notice a difference whether it's everyday life or any other physical activities that I enjoy doing."

- Ryan from Washington DC
"Training with Coach Mike is one of the best investments I've ever made. Two years in (and at age 49) the impact on my wellness and game are noticeable. I play consistently better, I move better, I don't hurt after rounds now, and I broke par for the first time ever this year. He knows his stuff. He's going to check in. He's going to meet you where you are. He is going to help you stay accountable & give you the support you need. And above all else, he cares about your success. If you are on the fence, jump down. Mike is the real deal."
