A New Doctor in the Family

Congratulations to Ben Langdown, who was awarded a PhD yesterday after 7 years of groundbreaking research in golf related motor control, and strength and conditioning.

Ben, who has a BSc and MSc in Sports Science, is a lecturer for The PGA and works closely with both the University of Birmingham and England Golf. He regularly speaks at large conferences and last year addressed over 300 fitness and golf professionals at the 2014 World Golf Fitness Summit in California. Ben also writes regularly for professional sporting publications and now hopes to disseminate his research to both golf and strength and conditioning coaches worldwide.

Ben is the son of Adelina and Tony Langdown, the grandson of Gerry and Patsy Forte (Swanage), and great grandson of Alfonso Forte and Adelina Mezza (Swanage), and Vincenzo and Pasqualina Forte (Belfast), all originally from Mortale and Casalattico.
