I noticed in the last year that the irons I had played for 7 years have been giving me a different, ballooning shot shape. Enter Greg and Golftec- Greg conducted a phenomenal fitting. We played with several different iron setups to remedy the issue, and Greg’s intuition steered us closer and closer to what was ultimately the best iron/shaft combo for me. Without his knowledge of the traits of each head/brand, we would have been there for hours! On Greg’s recommendation I ended up bagging 50, 54, 58 wedge setup too, replacing the previous gapping I had. I’ve been loving the new vokeys both on approaches and greenside- glad I listened to Greg.
There was a hiccup with procuring the irons that was beyond golftecs control, but Justin handled the issue quickly and thoroughly.

The team is professional, flexible with scheduling, and consistent. Just one winter of lessons changed my entire approach to my game (for the better). Highly recommend!

If anyone is serious about improving your golf game, I suggest you go to GOLFTEC and give it an honest try. Justin, Trey, Matt and the whole team is amazing. Not only does your instructor teach you about your swing, they all work together to help you improve. The practice is invaluable; without it you will never correct what you are doing wrong and put the pros teaching into action. Golf is the most difficult and often frustrating game, but it is the greatest game of all. Without teachers (every PGA pro has them) it is very unlikely you will ever get better. I drove by their facility for 10 years, and my only regret is I didn't go there 10 years ago. Learn from the best and go to GOLFTEC.

Save your money. The more lesson you buy the less you will get so they can keep selling you more. I went from a 7 handicap to an 11 in one year. I'm back down to a 7 after not taking lesson from them for over a year.
