Dr. Infanti provided the most consistent and helpful work for my golf game the two years I played on the web.com tour. His kindness and caring towards the players was beyond exceptional, but more importantly his work with our ailing bodies playing so many weeks in a row was perfection. Anything you asked or needed he was willing to provide, and would always remember each injury/need even if you hadn’t seen him in weeks. I consider his work on the Tour an absolute necessity, especially after seeing how much time and effort players on the PGA Tour put into their bodies weekly.
