Guys the 5 star reviews on this place are legit. I'm about a year into learning golf, and Varun is the 3rd person I've seen for lessons because the first two at other reputable places just weren't clicking for me. I got the 5 lesson package and I have to say it's been a game changer. I came in with an unpredictable two way miss on my irons and a banana slice on my driver. I was shooting around 55 for 9 holes.
I joke with Varun that every time I see him I add 10 yards to my 7 iron. I came in with an over the top swing that was carrying 165 yards on a good hit, now I'm carrying 180+, and my misses are way way tighter and more predictable. Driver is a going 265+ with a baby draw. Varun will break down your swing on video, and does a great job of identifying what flaws to tackle first, and giving very simple drills to address the flaws. Couldn't have asked for more really. I've now broken 100 twice for 18, and shot a 44 for 9 holes on the back half of one of those.

I went through a lesson package with Varun Anand this spring into summer and am super pleased with the results. I had been struggling the last few years and took lessons with a few different instructors but nothing clicked. Varun helped me with some changes in an incremental fashion and gave me drills to work on between sessions. Towards the end of the lesson package things really started to come together and we did some exercises that really pressure tested the swing. This helped build confidence that has really translated to on the course success.

I can't begin to express just how enjoyable my Iron fitting was with Varun. Ive never had a proper fitting. Varun guided me through all of it, while I still made my own decisions based off what I was feeling with each club. His ability to break down swing data made it easy to understand and see how clubs compared. He made me feel really confident about the decisions I was making for head/shaft combo.
If you are looking to take your game to the next level with the newest technology in golf AND a club that is tailored for you, I couldn't recommend Varun and GOLFTEC enough... and I never write reviews.

I can't believe I even debated whether it was worth it to go for a club fitting, but it was by far the most impactful session I've had to date that will do wonders for my golf game. Andrew B couldn't have been more phenomenal both from a professional and personal perspective. I took a few lessons a couple years ago and I got FAR more out of this one session with Andrew than an entire summer of practice w the pros teaching. Also, the club, shaft and grip we landed on makes me feel like it's truly an extension of my body.. something I've never experienced before. Eye opening.
It's a no brainer in my opinion. Do yourself a favor and book a session. Your only regret will be not doing it sooner.
