ABOUT SHOOT FOR PAR
Real Performance.
Real Assessment.
Real Results.
Most golfers don’t need another swing tip. They need a clear understanding of how their body moves, why certain swing patterns occur, and what specific limitations are preventing better performance.
At Shoot For Par, we help golfers identify those limitations first, then develop the capabilities they need, and build a plan for measurable improvement.
Our Story
A Different Approach to Golf Improvement.
For years, golf instruction has focused almost exclusively on the swing. The problem is that the golf swing is often a symptom, not the cause.
Poor mobility, physical restrictions, strength deficits, balance limitations, and insufficient movement patterns can all influence how a golfer swings the club. Yet many players spend years chasing positions without ever addressing the underlying issue.
Shoot For Par was built on a simple belief:
Every golfer deserves a plan based on facts, not guesses.
Founded by retired United States Marine Corps veteran, certified golf fitness professional, and performance coach David Frederick, Shoot For Par combines movement assessment, physical development, golf instruction, and performance coaching into one complete system.
Instead of forcing golfers into a “perfect swing,” we help golfers build a swing that works for their body now and a plan of action for a better body in the future.
