About Us
Cutting Edge Golf Fitness was founded in Raleigh, North Carolina by Dr. Kurt Ehlert. Dr. Ehlert is a self-professed golf nut who is also an orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist with Triangle Orthopaedic Associates. After experimenting with golf lessons, books, video swing analysis, he came to realize that his body would not allow him to get to the positions that Tiger, or Ernie, or any other high level golfer can get to. Some of his swing faults could not be corrected by golf instruction and practice.
So all those instructions he had come to embrace couldn't work for him.
Unless he changed his body first!
He realized that many of the limitatons of his patients, as well as the injuries they sustained, were due to correctable physical limitations as well.
- Since all athletic motion requires power, flexibility, and balance, if we are limited in these areas, we are limited in our chosen sport
- And we ALL have limitations
In Balance
In Power
In Flexibility
He evaluated the Titleist Performance Institute after hearing about it from a PGA pro friend and realized that the instructors there are the leading proponents of just what he had realized.
Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Phillips have led the revolution in golf fitness over the last several years.
So Dr. Ehlert attended their instructional seminar, and loved what he heard. He is now the only medical doctor in the Carolinas who is Titleist Performance Institute certified as a Golf Fitness Instructor.
- And, one of only 20 or so orthopaedic surgeons in the world with such a certification.
Let Dr. Ehlert help you help your game!
