Built around golfers

Play with less pain. Build strength. Protect your distance. Stay in the game.

The Long Game Private Health is built around a simple idea: your golf swing cannot be separated from the body producing it. The aim is to identify the physical limitations that matter, work on them with the right mix of treatment and physical development, and give you a clear plan for progressing over time.

Particularly relevant for golfers 50+. The service is open to golfers of any age, but it is designed especially well for men and women who want to stay mobile, strong and confident as the physical demands of golf begin to feel different.

Play with less pain

Address stiffness, recurring niggles and physical restrictions that are making golf less comfortable.

Move better

Improve the mobility, control and movement options your golf swing asks of you.

Build golf strength

Develop strength, stability and physical capacity through coached gym work and a personalised programme.

Support distance

Build the physical qualities that can help you maintain — and where appropriate improve — speed and distance as you get older.

Play longer

Create a body that is better prepared for more rounds, better recovery and more years enjoying the game.

Titleist Performance Institute

Titleist Performance Institute Certified evaluation, treatment and ongoing support

Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) provides a recognised golf-performance framework for identifying physical limitations that may be affecting your swing, comfort and long-term performance. The TPI physical screen forms a key part of the Golf Performance Evaluation and helps connect assessment, hands-on treatment, coached exercise and ongoing support.

  • Golf-specific physical screening to identify relevant movement limitations
  • Treatment and coached gym work built around your findings, not guesswork
  • The TPI app used through coached programmes and remote coaching for specific mobility, stretching and strengthening work
  • Progress reviews and re-evaluation to show what has changed over time
The Long Game approach

Evaluate. Improve. Maintain.

First understand what may be limiting your body. Then work on it with structured treatment, gym-based coaching and a tailored TPI app programme. Once the initial work is done, maintain and progress the result at the level of support that suits you.

Step 1 — Evaluate

The Long Game Golf Performance Evaluation

The starting point for every golf-performance programme. A detailed evaluation designed to understand your body, your golf and what is most worth working on first.

Golf Performance Evaluation

The Long Game Golf Performance Evaluation

£225 one-off
Clinic-based at The Dunkenhalgh. Your evaluation gives us the information needed to recommend the most appropriate next step rather than asking you to choose a programme blindly.
  • Golf, body, training and lifestyle consultation
  • Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) physical screen
  • Clear explanation of the findings and what may matter most for your golf
  • Focused hands-on treatment where appropriate
  • TPI app demonstration and explanation of the programme pathway
  • Professional recommendation for the most appropriate next step — a 6, 12 or 24-week coached programme, or personalised remote coaching where suitable
Limited weekly evaluation appointments
Step 2 — Improve

Choose the right level of support for your goals

For golfers who need hands-on treatment, coached gym work and closer accountability, the structured 6, 12 and 24-week programmes provide weekly one-to-one support. For self-motivated golfers who already train independently, personalised remote coaching offers a lower-touch route after the evaluation.

Prefer to train independently?

The Long Game Remote Golf Performance

£129 per month
3-month initial commitment • available after the Golf Performance Evaluation

For golfers who are comfortable training independently but still want an expert plan, accountability and regular progression. This is personalised remote coaching — the app is the delivery tool, not the product.

  • Personalised TPI app programme based on your evaluation findings
  • Specific mobility, stretching and strengthening work
  • Programme review and progression every 4 weeks
  • Brief monthly phone or video check-in
  • Messaging support for exercise and programme questions
  • In-person re-evaluation every 12 weeks
  • Access to The Long Game Private Health Community
Limited remote coaching places to keep the service personal
Your next step is recommended from the evaluation findings. The aim is not to sell appointments or app access. It is to choose the level of support most likely to help you make meaningful progress — coached in person where that adds value, or remotely when you are well suited to training independently.
Step 3 — Maintain

Ongoing Golf Performance Care

Once the initial work has moved the needle, ongoing care is available to protect the progress, keep your physical programme developing and address new priorities as your golf and body change.

  • Practical reminders and useful exercise ideas between sessions
  • Shared wins, accountability and a sense of belonging
  • Priority updates and invitations to selected Long Game events
A separate private option

The Long Game Household Performance Retainer

The main focus of The Long Game is golf performance. The Household Performance Retainer remains available as a separate high-touch service for a very small number of clients who want expert treatment and performance support delivered privately at home.

Private household support

Household Performance Retainer

£1,495 per month
Annual private retainer arrangements available on request.
Private home-visit care for households who value convenience, continuity and having one trusted professional who understands the bigger picture.
  • 8 hours of private home-visit care per month
  • Flexible use across members of the household
  • Golf-specific evaluation and re-testing where relevant
  • Hands-on treatment, movement and app-based support where appropriate
  • Priority access and progress review
  • Access to The Long Game Private Health Community
Strictly limited to 5 households

Who the private retainer is best suited to

  • Busy individuals, couples and families who place a high value on time and convenience
  • Clients who prefer discreet, consistent care in the comfort of their own home
  • Households with several people who may benefit from treatment, movement or performance support
  • Golfers and active family members who want one trusted professional overseeing their ongoing physical care
  • Clients who prefer proactive, retained support rather than arranging isolated appointments

What makes the retainer different

  • It comes to you — no travel, waiting rooms or wasted time.
  • Monthly time can be used across the household where it creates the most value.
  • Golf, work, travel, training, family life and recurring niggles can all be considered together.
  • The service is deliberately capacity-limited so the level of access remains genuinely personal.

The retainer is offered only where there is a clear mutual fit following an initial conversation or evaluation.

What clients say

Mark Ashworth

I leave feeling looser, freer and in less pain, and the routines he gives me help keep those issues under control between sessions. I’d highly recommend him to any golfer or sportsperson.”
