Been struggling with my game for years, so I finally decided to get professional lessons and real data on my swing.
I’ve done 5 weekly 30-minute lessons so far (plus about 90 minutes of practice each week), and thanks to Andrew Lavely my swing is in the best place it’s ever been. I can finally trust my driver and focus on increasing speed for the first time.
Andrew has completely changed my game - my grip, my setup and address, and the way I swing the club. I’m seeing tangible progress every week.
GolfTec’s technology is amazing too. I’m a bit of a stats nerd, so it’s a dream for me, and I’m excited for my upcoming club fitting to see which clubs fit my swing best.
Thanks again, Andrew. You’re an excellent coach and I really appreciate the care you put into every lesson.

Golf is hard - really hard - why go it alone. I’ve got Jacob Smith. He is a PGA professional. He has talked me down from the ledge more than once. He is helping me learn the game and more importantly learn my swing. Why go it alone? You need a GolfTec pro to help you too!

I have been working with Eric for a few months - seeing massive improvements in my swing path and distance off of the tee. Very encouraged with progress and genuinely enjoy the experience.

I've been working with Coach Jacob for nearly a year now. I've always been a decent golfer, but not as consistent as I'd liked. What I realized was that I had a baseball swing that I had morphed into a passable golf swing, but there were so many variables each time I brought the club back. Jacob, along with the technology at Golftec, has helped me become aware of where I was doing too much and where I wasn't doing enough. He's helped me craft an actual golf swing and I feel so much more confident each time I step up to the ball. While I'm not ready for the tour (yet), I have seen more growth in my game in the past ten months than I have in the past 35 years.

I’ve been taking lessons for about 6 months and the results are phenomenal! At 60 years old I’m at least 10 strokes better on 18 holes. The instructors are great coaches and they take their time to make sure you have the fundamentals down. At my age to be shooting in the 70’s is really well beyond my expectations when I started
