I had a great experience having Ray Liwanag as my teacher.
With his patience & experience he took a 70 year old man who never picked up a club how to play.
I had some medical disabilities that Ray was able to work around and now have a great foundation to build from. Thank you Ray, I value the practice sessions spent with you.
Your excellent coach who I highly recommend.

After not picking up a golf club for 10+ years, I have been working with Ray. He has taught me the fundamentals that have helped improve my game over the last few months. He’s knowledgeable and engaged. I highly recommend Ray if you’re looking for lessons.

I’ve been working with Troy Wood at Golftec Gaithersburg and couldn’t be happier with the results. Troy is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and has a great way of breaking down the golf swing so it actually makes sense.

I left a couple holes in Golftec's drywall (no extra charge), but Tony Barrette really helped me to get a decent golf swing going over the course of my lessons. He's easy going, provides good direction, and is fun to take lessons with. You will get better with him as your coach. Highly-recommended!
