Hello, and thanks for visiting the Fit For Golf website. I’m Mike Carroll, the founder of Fit For Golf.
My goal is simple: help as many golfers as possible improve their golf performance, health, and longevity through structured physical training.
I have a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Limerick, Ireland, and hold multiple golf-specific certifications:
TPI Level 3 Certified Golf Fitness Professional
Sasho MacKenzie & Phil Cheetham Golf Biomechanics Forces & Motion Certified
Dr. Kwon Golf Biomechanics Level 2 Certified
Over the years, I’ve worked with more than a dozen PGA and DP World Tour players, along with thousands of dedicated amateur golfers around the world. Before specializing solely in golf, I worked with athletes from a range of sports and with the general population.
I grew up and received my education in Ireland, and moved to the US in 2016.
My main focus is on the science and practical application of golf performance. I study the biomechanics and physiology of both training and the golf swing, and aim to turn that knowledge into clear, actionable advice golfers can use to improve their physical capabilities and performance in golf and in life.
I believe in practicing what I preach. Having never been lower than a 5 handicap before 2020, I reached a +2.6 handicap in 2024. Through the same type of training I make available to everyone, I developed 125+ mph club head speed at 5’10” and 170 lbs. I think it’s important that I go through the same training methods I recommend.
The Fit For Golf App was created to make my training philosophy accessible to everyone, and scalable to each person’s starting point. It provides structured, evidence-based programs that guide golfers through progressive mobility, strength, and speed development.
The app has grown into a community of more than 8,000 golfers who want to train with purpose and play their best golf for as long as possible.
I personally answer all training related questions from app subscribers, ensuring you have easy access to an experienced coach.
