DREAMING OF A CLUB WITH A SHOVEL IN YOUR HANDS?
PREPARE TO TEE OFF WITH BOTSFORD’S GREAT GOLF PROGRAMS
Farmington Hills, Mich., January 28, 1999 —
Spring may still be just a
promise, but the folks at Botsford’s Total Rehabilitation & Athletic
Conditioning Center (TRACC) figure it’s time to take advantage of all that
aerobic conditioning golfers have been doing out on their driveways and open
registration for two popular annual programs, Tee Off with TRACC and the TRACC Golf Conditioning Class.
A great opportunity for novices and veterans alike to hone healthy playing
habits, Tee Off with TRACC is designed to help players avoid golf-related
injuries as well improve their games. This two-hour session is presented on the
campus of Botsford General Hospital in Farmington Hills on Tuesday, March 9,
9:30-11:30 a.m., or Wednesday, March 10, 7-9 p.m. The fee is $10. Due
to limited capacity, preregistration and prepayment are required.
This informative event, which is recommended as a prelude to the TRACC Golf
Conditioning Class, offers:
 | TRACC exercise physiologist Shel Levine, M.S., teaching exercises to
condition muscles as well strengthen the back;
| Bloomfield Hills Country Club assistant golf pro Karen Delahante
demonstrating ways to modify your golf swing and stance to avoid strain and
injury; and
| Botsford physician Stephen Goldman, D.O., explaining the role of osteopathic
manipulation and physical therapy in relieving some of the muscle strains, back
injuries, and pain that golfers may experience. |

|
The four-week TRACC Golf Conditioning Class
starts
Tuesday, March 16, and continues Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30-10:45 a.m.,
through Thursday, April 8 . The class is a terrific way to prepare your
“winter body” for the physical rigors of golf season while minimizing your risks
for injuries.
Held at TRACC in Novi, the program features exercise physiologist Shel
Levine, M.S., teaching a variety of sure-fire exercises to strengthen and
stretch muscles. Participants are asked to bring along their favorite golf club
to use during the in-class training sessions. The fee is $40 for the entire
eight-session class. Due to limited capacity, however, preregistration and
prepayment are required.
For more information on these excellent programs or to register, call Shel
Levine at (248) 473-5600.
