Episode #13: Rob Schimony
In this episode, Dr. Ilan Green sits down with Rob Schimony who is a PGA teaching professional from Lansdale, Pennsylvania and he is in his third season as an instructor at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in Flourtown.
We got to discuss a lot of interesting topics that I think will be really beneficial for our listeners who are golfers, or those who work with golfers.
Rob shared his “ground up” approach to working with golfers, tips for posture, stance, and other pre-swing fundamentals, and we dove into performance aspects such as applications of the kinematic sequence, hip/torso separation and common faults in footwork that lead to breakdowns up the kinetic chain.
I had a lot of fun chatting with him, so I hope you enjoy the episode! Let’s get into it.
