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.

Had perfect experience at golf tec in fitting new clubs. Visited twice and met with Nick Rachlin. He was awesome! His knowledge was exceptional and his enthusiasm was contagious. He really got me excited about new clubs. My clubs are more than a couple decades old and my swing is not what it use to be, but he showed me how well fitting all the right pieces together is going to work for me. The results were new clubs that far exceed my expectations. Anyone looking to get new clubs, I will totally recommend they goto golf tec and see Nick Rachlin. I would give more stars if I could.

Ray has been a phenomenal coach! I was nervous about taking lessons, but Ray makes lessons fun and has given me tips that improved my game. He goes out of his way to make sure I understand what I am doing with my swing and is very encouraging. Would definitely recommend Ray and Golftec to anyone who is serious about improving their game.

I have been playing golf for over 40 years and I can tell you without hestitation that if you want to improve, this is the best method out there by far. First, my constant swing search is over. I use to spend countless hours on the range trying to find something that works for more than a day. Now I simply follow the instruction of my golf coach, Dave Saunders (within whom I have complete trust). I don't wander off the instruction path and the frustration of trying to figure out what works is gone. My game has improved greatly and I am absolutely certain it will continue to improve. Second, Golftec teaches incrementally. They give you one or two changes to master at a time. They make sure you understand those changes and give you the knowledge needed to make those changes while practicing on your own. Third, when you practice at their facility, every swing is recorded for you to play back at different speeds to see how well you are making the changes. For me, what I think I am doing and what I am actually doing rarely match so the immediate visual feedback is invaluable. Fourth, I have been amazed how quickly my swing can veer off path in only a week. Knowing that I can get into the Golftec facility at least once a week to bring my swing back to what's being taught has given me more confidence and serenity on the course. I no longer worry whether "I've lost it". Last, the Golftec instructors have been trained to give you the best instruction. As with a doctor, I need to know I am being heard and I need a relationship based in trust. I have gotten both. I have been going to Golftec for almost 2 years and they have been the best 2 golfing years of my life.
