MINIMALIST GOLF SWING - Key Persons

Kiran Kanwar was, in 1989, India's first female golf teaching professional, after having won the 1983 National Championship - the All India Ladies' Open Amateur Golf Championship. She has added to her lists of ‘firsts' in the years since. She is the only woman to have developed a unique golf swing system for both the full swing and the short game - the Minimalist Golf Swing (MGS) System, and it is the only golf swing to have been frequently tested at all stages of its development, through research and peer-reviewed publications since 1994. The MGS System is the world's only 100% biomechanically and anatomically valid golf swing - The Minimalist Golf Swing (MGS). It is based on her strong academic background - which includes a BS (physics, math) MS (sports science, nutrition) and PhD candidate (biomechanics, structural anatomy and rehabilitation sciences, sports coaching theory) - as well as over 29 years of experience teaching and researching the golf swing. This swing system can help any skill-level of golfer hit the ball further, straighter, higher, and with less likelihood of injury. Kiran has presented her golf swing research at three World Scientific Congresses of Golf (1994, 1998 and 2012) and has also presented the Minimalist Golf Swing at ‘Golfer and the DC' - a seminar conducted by the Motion Palpation Institute to train chiropractors to treat golfers with injury. More recently, her research testing the efficacy of the MGS on a population of senior golfers will soon be published as a paper titled "Effects of a Golf Swing Intervention on Senior Golfers' Ball Striking and Motivation to Play Golf" in the prestigious International Journal of Sports Science and Coaching. Kiran was the only woman to be a speaker at the PGA of Asia's First and Second Golf Teaching Conferences of 2010 and 2011. She has also conducted workshops on Golf Swing Biomechanics for The LPGA, The PGA of America's Gateway section and LPGA Mid-West section teaching professionals; for some of the Indian Tour (PGTI) players; and for students of the Masters' Degree course in Sports Science at Logan College of Chiropractic. Kiran Kanwar has four Class A teaching credentials - the LPGA, The PGA (GB&I, from 1995-2016), the NGA of India (also Teaching Staff) and PGA of India (also Board Member). She also has almost 30 years of golf journalism experience, is a columnist on Golf Science for My Avid Golfer magazine, Texas, and for Golf News Net. She is a member of the Golf Writers' Association of America.
