What a joy to see My coach’s assessment of the nine holes we shared at River Bend in Lisle! It was worth every penny and one of the longest times of positive encouragement anyone has ever given me about ANYTHING! I had to stop counting fist bumps Mike shared by the third hole! And, we were paired up with three other guys, whom I feared slowing down, but they too were truly upbeat and seemed to get into the fact that Mike had good stuff to say, both positive and ‘educational.’ I feared I might slow them down or mess up their golf, but we all really seemed to enjoy each other’s company. I credit Mike for developing that ‘espree de corp’ among us.
My take aways: continue to work on a purposeful practice swing that hits turf AFTER ball. Extend arms ‘up and out’ more to hit straighter shots and not hook right. (I am a lefty.) I guess I will quit babbling. If my effusiveness doesn’t convince you I’m happy with what these lessons have meant, nothing will! Oh, and another truth: I am realizing I put a helluva lot of wasted energy into negative self-talk. I doubt I can ever affirm myself as much as Mike affirms me, but if I am not so hard on myself—that will lead to more fun on the course and at the range!
Previous Review:
I’m a 73 year old Lefty and I am SO happy with the lessons with fellow Lefty, Mike Page. Mike is the most positive and encouraging teacher I have ever had, in any endeavor! I have learned ‘basics’ from Mike that were new to me, and with practice, his advice has shown positive results, improvement, and truly reinforced my love for the game! Yes, Golftec requires the commitment of time and dollars. But if you want to improve and better enjoy golf, you want a guy like Mike to show you the way!

This is a great place to improve your golf game no matter your skill level. The coaching staff is excellent and being able to watch yourself on video in slow motion is invaluable! I highly recommend!
They also offer club selection sessions which I have used for my irons and woods. Having the right club really makes a difference and they do a great job of evaluating what you need!

Coaching was solid, but be wary of the hard sells for equipment and the time restrictions on lessons especially if you buy a large package. Regardless of what they tell you, they will cancel any remaining credits at one year with zero recourse even if there was no annual period when you purchased.

Do not purchase clubs from here. I bought clubs which broke less than a year and a half after purchase. The fitters were completely unhelpful in getting them repaired. They refused to even attempt the repair at any cost because they do not have the resources.
They are not interested in retaining customers. It is a one and done deal. In the words of their own employees, "you're better off going to club champion"
