GolfGym® and PGA Tour Coach Joey Diovisalvi Congratulate
Charlie Wi On His Second Top Ten Finish In Two Weeks

SANTA ANA, CA – March 23, 2009 – GolfGym and Coach Joey D offer congratulations to Charlie Wi who finished tied for fourth at the Transitions Championship this past weekend, just two stokes back from the leader. Two weeks ago he had a T9 finish at the Honda Classic. He has been working with Coach Joey D, one of the elite biomechanics, strength and conditioning coaches on the PGA Tour and using GolfGym training products every day as part of his golf fitness program.

Wi shot a 6-under 278 to claim winnings of $223,200.00. His finish moved him from 65th to 38th in the 2009 FedEx Cup Points standings.

“Charlie has been working hard this season, both on the course and in the fitness trailer and he’s definitely someone to watch in the coming weeks,” said Joey. “Copperhead is a tough course and he was able to stay strong throughout the tournament.  He left the trailer on Sunday morning prepared physically and mentally to meet the challenge.  I’m happy to see him playing so well.”

“It is great to see Jason Dufner remaining consistent in his game as well with his T17 finish at the Transitions, said Ken Pierce, President of GolfGym. “Joey D’s roster of Tour players are focused on their fitness and their game.  We anticipate great things from each of them as the tour progresses.”

As a coach on the PGA Tour for over 10 years, Joey D is best known for coaching Vijay Singh during a seven year period that was highlighted when Vijay became #1 in the world.  Joey D’s coaching methods with Vijay were featured on an ABC Special, Practice Like a PGA Tour Player, which showcased Vijay’s dedication and work ethic to improve his golf fitness and performance, and a CBS Special, The Science of Golf, which focused on the biomechanics of the golf swing. In addition to Charlie Wi, Joey D’s current roster of players includes PGA TOUR players Pat Perez, Ryuji Imada, Tom Pernice, Jr., Jason Dufner, and Jason Gore.  

Coach Joey D has partnered with GolfGym to bring PGA TOUR conditioning to golfers worldwide. The partnership combines the efforts and expertise of a golf fitness pioneer with one of the most elite coaches on the PGA TOUR. This union brings together the tools and the techniques that are currently being employed by the top players on the PGA TOUR and makes them available directly to golfers of all ability levels.
