2. NOT MEDICAL OR HEALTHCARE ADVICE
Sam is not acting as your physician, physical therapist, chiropractor, athletic trainer, dietitian, mental-health professional, or other licensed healthcare provider.

Descriptions of movement, mobility, strength, fatigue, recovery, pain, or physical limitations are provided only in the context of golf performance and general education.

You are responsible for determining whether you are physically capable of participating safely.
Before beginning any recommended drill or training activity, you agree to:

We do not manufacture, inspect, warrant, or control the golf clubs, launch monitors, training aids, nets, mats, weights, bands, speed-training devices, or other equipment you use.
Follow all manufacturer instructions and warnings. Do not use damaged equipment or equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
You are responsible for ensuring that your facility or training environment permits the activity and provides adequate space and safety protections.

Coaching materials, recorded analyses, drills, videos, recommendations, and training plans are prepared for the individual customer and are intended only for that customer’s personal, noncommercial use.

12. SEPARATE AGREEMENTS
This Disclaimer supplements the Website Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, applicable product description, and any signed coaching agreement, informed-consent form, or liability waiver.
