Mark Crossfield joins Chris Finn on The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad for a real talk episode on what actually separates elite players from great amateurs—especially in your 40s, 50s, and 60s. Mark shares why his “Senior Tour” journey isn’t really about chasing a dream… it’s about answering the question most golfers avoid: what are tour players doing that the rest of us simply can’t fake? They dig into the truth behind speed and aging (including the “41 cliff”), why over-practicing can backfire, and how rebuilding your engine through strength + mobility changes what your “game speed” feels like. They also break down the trap of chasing a max swing, how to close the gap between “all-out” and “playable,” and why Mark has replaced range sessions with workouts—even though he admits he hates lifting. Plus: Mark gives a clear, no-hype breakdown of today’s golf tech stack, what launch monitors are actually worth buying, and why most golfers get tricked by numbers instead of getting better. If you’ve ever felt like your swing is still “pretty good” but your body isn’t cooperating anymore—this one will hit home. In this episode: Why TV “shoulder turn” isn’t really shoulder turn The real separator: speed + strength (not more reps on the range) Mobility breakthroughs (and the “brittle” wake-up call) The difference between max speed and gaming speed How to build a training routine that actually sticks Tech in 2026: what matters, what’s overkill, and what to buy Follow Mark Crossfield:YouTube + socials: search “Mark Crossfield”Website: MarkCrossfieldGolf.com (free classes + upcoming paid classes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf

If your back or elbow pain “gets better” when you rest—but comes right back the moment you return to golf—this episode is for you. In this episode of The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down why golfers often get stuck in a frustrating loop of treatment, rest, and reinjury. He explains the real root causes behind recurring golf-related back and elbow pain, why many rehab plans fail to address them, and what a proper clinical assessment should include. You’ll learn: Why limited hip internal rotation and shoulder external rotation are the #1 drivers of golf elbow and back pain How treating symptoms alone (dry needling, injections, exercises) misses the real problem The critical difference between being “pain-free” and being ready to return to golf Why return-to-play protocols are often skipped—and how that leads to reinjury What smart questions golfers should ask their physical therapist, chiropractor, or surgeon This episode isn’t about blaming providers—it’s about helping golfers become informed advocates for their own health, so they can swing fast, play longer, and stay pain-free. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf

Wrist pain is one of the most misunderstood issues in golf—and most of the time, the wrist isn’t the real problem. In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down the three most common types of wrist pain golfers experience: thumb-side pain, pinky-side pain, and pain on the back of the wrist. He explains where each one actually comes from, why overuse injuries are far more common than true wrist damage, and how muscles in the forearm, shoulder, and even the hips can be the real source of your symptoms. You’ll learn: Why most wrist pain is a symptom, not the cause The key muscle groups behind thumb-side vs. pinky-side wrist pain How shoulder and hip rotation deficits overload the wrists Why back-of-the-wrist pain often originates in the shoulder The critical role your impact position and golf swing play in recurring pain Why rehab without addressing your swing leads to a frustrating cycle of flare-ups If you’re dealing with wrist or elbow pain—or want to prevent it—this episode will help you understand where to look, what to fix, and how to stop chasing symptoms instead of solving the real problem.
