Brian is the man! You can tell right away that he not only loves golf, but might love teaching it even more. What really sets him apart is how he can explain the same concept in multiple ways until it clicks. I honestly didn’t think my swing would ever look this good because of my build 💪🏼 but he breaks things down in a way that makes sense and tailors everything to how you learn best. Whether you’re just starting out like me or trying to fine-tune your game, Brian’s your guy. Can’t recommend him enough. Plus he makes hole in ones on the daily on the virtual golf!

Like most people I have a huge desire to get better at golf, but I can't consistently get to the range to work on my game. GolfTEC has been the perfect solution for me and I recommend it to others for all of the following reasons:
1) I can get from the parking lot to hitting balls in 3 minutes. At a golf course, it is easily 10 minutes before you are hitting balls. This means I can hit balls or take a lesson on my lunch hour at GolfTEC.
2) I can watch video replay of each swing to see what I did wrong or right. At a course, I would simply curse myself and wonder what went wrong.
3) I can schedule and re-schedule lessons, practice time, etc. with a few clicks online or on my phone. With lessons at a course, you are going in your time slot or you are missing out on your lesson, period. I'm sorry, but life gets in the way quite often and being able to change my schedule is essential.
4) I can practice and learn without other people talking, cell phones ringing, and without any nervousness about others watching my horrible swing.
You may be saying to yourself, "but I like going to the course and don't want to take indoor lessons". If you feel like that, I suggest you at least take 30 minutes and try out GolfTEC. Go talk with my instructor Mike Blinco, he is awesome. You will get better with a coach like Mike who can show you what you are doing right or wrong with video. You will get better when you can practice more often (closer, more convenient, etc.).
I've taken private lessons at two courses and I didn't really improve because I couldn't practice what I had learned between lessons often enough. This is a critical component of learning because most lesson plans continually build upon each other so you need to continually get better at each skill before you can move onto the next skill. Just ask Mike and he will tell you that I was terrible one year ago when I started working with him. Now, I can hold my own thanks to his help.
If you've tried the range or private lessons at a course and are not satisfied, give Mike and GolfTEC a try. Worst case scenario is that you spend 30 minutes having a few laughs with the guys there. Best case is that you start practicing and learning at a faster pace than you ever have previously.

Anthony Burandt is my certified personal coach. In two lessons, he has helped me straighten out some flaws I've had for many, many, many years. I am hitting the ball better than ever before. I'll keep coming to GolfTec because I believe in their approach, and the entire staff has been very helpful. Good folks doing good work.
