Last year I took up the game and was frustrated to the point where I thought I wouldn't take it up after all. During the winter months I signed up for lessons with Geoff at the Richmond BC location. His coaching, enthusiasm and encouragement was incredible. This spring and summer i'm out playing with my friends and holding my head up high, sometimes winning the best shot of the day. I also did the club fitting and now i'm consistently hitting the ball the distance I need saving me shots on every hole. I thoroughly encourage those that are frustrated by the game to spend some time with Geoff at Golftec Richmond.. you'll be glad you did.

Geoff Askew is a great coach. He is able to diagnose my swings and gives actionable feedback on things to improve on. I've seen massive improvements to my game through the video feedback and his coaching tips.

Tech part isn't working well. The launch monitors at this and the terminal facility are not working well. The instructors are good but there are some major flaws with the execution of their product. I would not recommend until they upgrade their equipment.
