I was a self-taught golfer since 9th grade with erratic success. I was recently gifted a GolfTec holiday package that included a swing analysis, 10 lessons, 10 practice sessions and a club fitting. After 50 years of struggling on the golf course, I have now found my way. Scott Wood is an informative, patient and understanding instructor. It was such a great experience, I have purchased more lessons. I now enjoy golf with confidence and pleasure. I highly recommend GolfTec.

A couple of years ago I signed up for a few golf lessons at GOLFTEC in Vernon Hills, Dave Silbar was assigned as my instructor and I was most thankful. I was concerned since I had never had a golf lesson and because of my age a super senior I was quite apprehensive I was just throwing my money away. Dave kept assuring me he could improve my game and he did. I play in a league of old Seniors travelling to 12 different courses playing each twice a season and I not only was the oldest player I was the most improved player that year through 24 weeks.
Dave reminded me of some of my very best teachers I had throughout my school years and also throughout my military career. It is difficult to describe Dave's methods however he shows you one way and then he goes 180° to show you the same thing a different way. As further proof following two years I am back at GOLFTEC with Dave for a refresher and more lessons .

GOLFTEC Vernon Hills has been an outstanding experience, and Dave is the reason why. He’s been phenomenal with lessons and club fittings—extremely knowledgeable, patient, and great at explaining what actually matters.
The technology is excellent, especially the instant video feedback, which makes it easy to see and understand changes in real time. Thanks to Dave’s coaching, my son has shaved 10+ strokes off his handicap in about 18 months. Highly recommend GOLFTEC Vernon Hills and working with Dave if you’re serious about improving.
