Weeks wants to help beginners and advanced players learn golf swing techniques without having to leave the MUSC campus. The clinic will utilize the latest in video technology featuring a portable video lab designed to monitor an individual's golf swing at various speeds. Weeks also uses a swing machine, best described as a large circular hula-hoop designed to guide a golfer's swing, pass and direction. Weeks was director of the Links at Stono Ferry from 1990-1995 and earlier at Snee Farm in Mount Pleasant. Weeks believes that today's physicians and health care professionals are simply too busy to find enough practice and travel time to take lessons at a driving range.
Weeks hopes to lure golf enthusiasts back into the game by concentrating on form and technique.
There's a skill involved in controlling the body the balance of the club, back swing, impact and follow through. Weeks also advocates the physical training benefits of the game. Ultimately, the Wellness Center can prepare a specifically designed fitness program that can focus on an individual's goal to gain strength and flexibiltiy.
