Your complete golf performance coach — mobility, strength, nutrition and swing support, all tailored to you. Functional Performance Golf is built by golf fitness coach Gordon Watson to fix the physical limitations that hold back your swing. Whether you're losing distance, feeling stiff after a round, or want to move like you did ten years ago, the app builds sessions around YOUR body, your equipment and your time. WHAT'S INSIDE MOBILITY WORKOUTS Tailored mobility sessions for golfers. Tell the app how long you've got, what equipment you have and where you feel restricted — it builds the session, with a coaching video for every exercise. MOBILITY MAPPER A guided 4-week onboarding course that maps your body's limitations. Rate each exercise as you go and the app identifies your personal focus areas — so every future session targets what actually needs work. STRENGTH & POWER Golf-specific gym and home workouts built around a proven structure: compound lifts, rotational core work and explosive power. Log your weights each session and the app remembers what you lifted last time. NUTRITION Personalised meal plans built around your goals — lose fat, build strength or fuel performance — plus a ready-made shopping list and on-course fuelling guidance for competition days. CHECK MY FORM Record a movement and get instant feedback on your technique, so you know you're doing each exercise right. SESSION REMINDERS Pick your training days and the app keeps you accountable. WHO IT'S FOR Golfers of every age and level who want to move better, swing faster and play without stiffness or pain.
