About Core & Caddy

Built for a longer, stronger golfing life.

Core & Caddy was created around a simple belief: golfers deserve the same quality of physical understanding that they expect from technical coaching. The result is an assessment-led performance and longevity system that connects human movement, strength and conditioning and the culture of golf.

Purpose

Why Core & Caddy exists.

Golfers are often given technical instructions without a clear understanding of whether their body currently has the physical options required to express them. Others lose confidence, reduce how often they play or quietly accept physical decline as inevitable.

Core & Caddy gives those golfers a clearer route. Understand the body. Develop what matters. Measure progress. Keep moving forward.

Founder

Mark Garlick

Sports scientist · Biomechanics and rehabilitation · Since 2009

Mark Garlick is a sports scientist, biomechanics and rehabilitation specialist who has worked in health and human performance since 2009. He is also a golfer: he knows the satisfaction of a well-struck shot, and the physical frustrations that appear on the course when the body cannot yet give the swing what it asks for.

With experience coaching a wide range of clients, from people rebuilding after injury to high-performing professionals and athletes, his work centres on understanding why the body moves as it does and creating practical pathways towards greater strength, confidence and capability. Core & Caddy brings that assessment-led approach into golf, alongside PGA professionals, helping players develop the physical qualities that support both performance and a lifetime in the game.

Our role

Physical capacity, clearly owned.

Core & Caddy develops physical capacity. PGA professionals coach the golf swing. Healthcare professionals diagnose and treat clinical conditions. The best experience for the golfer comes when those disciplines communicate clearly and work together.
