Assessments & Scope of Practice
As a DRVN Certified Pro, the Golf Fitness Handicap assessment is your primary tool. It standardizes how you evaluate every client and ensures programming decisions are data-driven, not guesswork.
Mobility Screen (5 tests)
Evaluate joint-by-joint mobility relevant to the golf swing. Results identify physical constraints that limit performance.
Fitness Testing (5 tests)
Measure strength, power, and endurance baselines. Combined with mobility data, this produces the client's Golf Fitness Handicap.
Training Levels
Clients are placed into Wellness, Fitness, or Performance tiers based on their GFH. Always match programming to assessed readiness — never to ambition.
Re-Assessment Cadence
Re-test every 8–12 weeks. The app tracks score history so you and your client can see measurable progress over time.
Collaboration with Golf Pros
Share assessment findings with your client's golf coach using DRVN's shared language. You handle the body; they handle the swing.
Certification & Renewal
Annual Renewal
Your DRVN Certified Pro designation renews annually at $249/yr. This keeps your directory listing active, your app membership current, and your credential in good standing.
Continuing Education
Complete 3 CE hours per year to maintain certification. DRVN will provide approved CE opportunities and methodology updates.
Elite Tier
High-performing Certified Pros may be invited to the Elite tier — featuring a premium directory listing, higher app revenue share, and priority access to new features.
