Fix Your Golf Game Without Wrecking Your Body w/ Coach John Eisentrout

What if your back pain, stiff hips, or “I can’t finish 18 anymore” problem isn’t just age… but how your body moves?

In this episode of From Pain to Play, Dr. Troy Dreiling sits down with his golf coach John Eisentrout (Westside, Vancouver WA) to break down the connection between your body, your swing, and your scorecard.

John has been playing since he was 13, competed in college, coached at St. Martin’s University, and now teaches everyone from beginners to near-tour-level players. He shares what really holds most golfers back: tight hips, limited shoulder motion, poor lower-body mobility, and almost no short-game practice.

You’ll hear how he screens players, what he looks for in their movement, and how a few simple tweaks (plus better practice habits) can help you play better golf with less pain.

Troy also shares how working with John has changed his own golf, including putter fitting sessions that instantly improved his accuracy without changing his stroke.

If you want to protect your back, move better, and score lower, this one’s for you.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

Why back pain in golfers often starts in the hips (and lower body)
How ankle, knee, and hip mobility affect your backswing and impact position
Why shoulder elevation and arm motion are critical for a full, pain-free swing
The #1 practice shift most golfers need: short game first, driver later
How John balances “fun stuff” (driver) with the unsexy skills that actually lower scores
Why equipment and putter fitting matter more than most amateurs think
Simple ideas to practice smarter if you don’t have hours at the range
