About Mark Panigoni

Mark Panigoni believes the golf swing should not cause any back pain. Panigoni tries to instill that belief in his golf students now at the Buffalo Junction Practice and Learning Center located at 4250 CR 105 right behind Wal-Mart on CR466 in The Villages, FL.


Panigoni, a PGA professional, underwent back surgery in 2007 and had to relearn how to swing a golf club. Now he takes pride in teaching that method to his students. "Swinging a golf club shouldn't be something that causes pain. After my back injury, I had to learn to swing the club by staying shifted onto my left leg and I noticed that my game actually improved. Pretty soon, I started teaching the same method to my students." Not long after he began teaching his new method, a friend of his sent him a story from a golf magazine detailing an extremely similar philosophy. "In retrospect, I believe that my back problems happened for a reason," Panigoni says. "The back injury turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it forced me to learn to swing more efficiently. Without the two ruptured discs in my lower lumbar, I may never have experimented with this method." As it turned out, Stack and Tilt was in it's infant stage and several players on the PGA Tour were getting "Stacked" with wildly successful results. That is what the golf article discussed and now, Panigoni is scheduled to become an Authorized Stack and Tilt Instructor in January 2012.


Mark's goal is to help each student be a consistent golfer with a swing that is pain-free. He systematically determines their fault-tendencies by using video and observation. Then, Mark and the student can watch the video on his computer to develop a plan to improve the areas of the swing that are causing inconsistency in their game.
