The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad with Chris Finn

Ep 235: Peptides, PRP, and Stem Cells for Golfers Over 40 with Dr. Steve Matta

Most golfers over 40 accept the same three-step path: anti-inflammatories, a cortisone shot, then surgery. Dr. Steve Matta built his practice around a different option.
Dr. Matta is the founder and chief physician of Meeting Point Health, a performance-driven medical practice specializing in regenerative orthopedics and longevity medicine. He is board-certified in family and sports medicine, holds additional certifications in stem cell and peptide therapy, is a TPI Level 3 Medical professional, and teaches peptide therapy to physicians through the Seeds Scientific Research and Performance Institute.
In this episode, Chris and Dr. Matta break down what regenerative medicine actually looks like for the aging golfer:
What peptides are, how they work, and the specific compounds Dr. Matta uses for injury recovery, strength gains, and even first-tee nerves
Why the source of your peptides matters - and the real risks of gray-market and gas station products
When PRP is the right call, when stem cells are worth the investment, and when it is time to consider surgery
Why injections without rehab fall short, and how regenerative treatments and physical training work together
How to think about the cost of cutting-edge care when insurance will not cover it
Whether you are managing golfer's elbow, back pain, or knee arthritis, this conversation gives you a framework for evaluating options beyond the standard medical playbook.

Why stretching and ibuprofen aren't solving anything - and what actually does

Ep 233: The Coach Behind Webb Simpson and Grayson Murray Reveals How He Builds Tour Players | Ted Keigiel

What separates a good instructor from one who has coached two PGA Tour winners since childhood? Ted Kiegiel - Director of Golf at Carolina Country Club and one of the most respected teachers in the game - joins Chris Finn to pull back the curtain on how elite coaches actually develop players.
Ted has spent his career at Augusta National, The Country Club in Brookline, and Maidstone Club before landing at Carolina CC. He coached Webb Simpson and Grayson Murray from age 9. He also holds black belts in martial arts - which shaped how he reads movement, force generation, and body patterns long before TrackMan existed.
In this conversation, Ted shares the exact frameworks he uses with every player - the 3-Pod System, the 20-20-20 practice structure, his OOPS method for on-course prep, and the 3-question post-round debrief that cuts through noise and gets to what actually matters in your game.
If you've ever wondered what a world-class instructor is actually thinking when you step onto the tee for the first time - this episode answers that question in full.

Ep 232: Hit It 250 Last Year. 220 This Year. Here's Why

You didn't lose your distance because you're getting older. You lost it because your body changed and your training didn't.
In this solo episode, Chris Finn breaks down exactly why golfers in their 40s, 50s, and 60s lose club speed - and why age is the correlation, not the cause. Using data from over 15,000 golfers, Chris walks through what's actually driving your distance loss and the exact sequence to reverse it.
You'll learn:
Why the "I'm just getting older" explanation is costing you 30+ yards
The three mobility limitations that shorten your backswing and kill your speed
Why your "seven iron" probably isn't a seven iron anymore
How low-weight, high-rep workouts are neurologically training your body to go slower
The three-phase fix - mobility, strength, and transfer training - and the realistic timeline for each
Why golfers who do the right things gain 20-30 yards in year one and only lose 2 mph over the next decade while everyone else loses 10
The distance you've lost isn't gone forever. Start with the free mobility assessment at parforsuccess.com - it'll show you exactly where your speed went and what to fix first.

Ep 229: You're Not Getting Older - You're Just Under Fueled, with TPI Advisor and Elite Sports Nutritionist Robert Yang

Most golfers spend thousands on equipment and lessons - and then show up to the first tee dehydrated and running on a bagel. In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn sits down with elite sports nutritionist Robert Yang to talk about what it actually takes to fuel a round of golf at any level.
Robert has worked with some of the biggest names in professional sports, including Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Shohei Ohtani, and Wyndham Clark. He's also a TPI advisory board member and author of Hole in One Nutrition - the only nutrition book written specifically for golfers.
In this conversation, they cover:
Why hydration is the foundation of everything - and the simple formula to know exactly how much water you need
The PFF principle (protein, fat, and fiber) and how your breakfast determines your energy at 3pm
What blood sugar crashes actually feel like on the course - and why your mood on hole 14 might not be about your swing
The best snacks to carry in your bag for sustained energy through 18 holes
What Robert's full assessment process looks like for golfers who want to go deeper with blood work and personalized nutrition

Michael Brennan, Jacob Bridgman, and the next wave of PGA Tour talent Greg is most excited about
