Walter Allred of Golftec has coached me into a vast improvement of my game, knocking 6 strokes off my average score. My only “problem” is I’m having to adjust to hitting every club ten yards farther!
If you listen, learn and practice what he teaches you (and shows you on video) your game WILL get better. I’ve been playing golf for 25 years and had numerous lessons, some very good. But Walter and Golftec have been the most effective at improving my game.

I recently moved to the DC area and was looking for a coach to help with a two way miss off the tee. It was hard to find a good instructor in the area, so I thought I would try the swing evaluation at Golftec and check out the "tech". I had the privilege to see Walter Allred for the evaluation and I signed on for a package as my personal coach. To be totally honest, he adjusted a body alignment and takeaway issue in the first session that changed my ball flight right away and added major distance back to game. If you are mid to high handicapper, there's no better way to get swing concepts drilled into you with the instant feedback of the golftec video monitoring system. I personally love the data comparing amateurs to pros. I played one round in between coaching sessions and I was on parts of the fairway that I could only reach by hitting the cart path. My 7i used to be 140ish carry, 150 on a nutted swing. Now I'm consistently hitting >155 in the air and rolling out 165-170. I am so much more confident off the tee and I easily added about 40 yds ...smashing one about 280. If you need help with your swing (basically everyone not on the PGA tour), then go to Golftec and call Walter. He explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and gets you moving in a direction that isn't counterproductive. He's the Martin Hall of the area. You wont' be disappointed.

My only regret is not joining Golftec several years ago after a free swing evaluation I won at a golf tournament. I could be so much better by now. Better late than never. If you caught the bug, this is an investment. I've taken lessons elsewhere before, but have not seen the results I've seen in the past few months working with Ryan. Feels good to work on my game during the off season. Now I won't feel like I'm starting over in the Spring.

There are many reasons why I'm fortunate having Coach Andrew as my instructor at Golftec. First, he's great at incorporating technology with his philosophies during lessons. For example, he's great at diagnosing, comprehending, and offering advice and drills that consistently leads to positive feedback and instant improvement. Next, he encourages me to play rounds without being hesitant of working on the new drills I've learned during play. I've seen that strategy work wonders for me as my scored are lowering and my confidence beginning to soar. Finally, I appreciate the coach's philosophy of requiring students to devise their learning experiences into their own words. For me, this form of self-expression keeps me more focused during my practices and playing experiences. Thank you immensely Coach Andrew and Golftec. You guys are awesome and I know you'll continue doing a fantastic job.

I would recommend Golftec to any golfer trying to improve their game. Ryan Miller is my coach and he has done a great job working on my swing. He is very knowledgeable of the golf swing and when I take a lesson he always has a fix for my flaws. Ryan is more like a friend than a teacher so it makes learning from him very easy. I also feel like the outdoor short game and playing lessons help a lot. Great feedback!
