This is the best GolfTec location on the planet. Just look at their awards shelf. Even better, take a lesson from their team. I'm fortunate enough to take from their team leader, Doug Strawbridge. I found him, looking for "Best Young Professional Golf Instructors In Texas." He's on that list a lot of years, and Texans don't say "Best" without good reason. He's built a great team (try Zoran!) and has my full endorsement.
And for those wondering....I'm a fully infected golf nerd. Not much better than a 6 or 7 hcp, but I used to be a lot better, and this level of instruction is more than enough for me. Money back guarantee.

Wanted to give a shout out to Ari Saldana who’s helped me with my ball striking and consistency.
Overall I really enjoy practicing at GolfTec. I’m a data driven person and it’s nice to get instant feedback while practicing (and not to mention you don’t have to face the houston heat while doing so).
GolfTec was also very accommodating and extended my membership when I suffered a major injury and couldn’t play for an extended period. That was much appreciated.

I started coming to GolfTEC Upper Kirby about 2 years ago and can't recommend it enough. All of the guys are not only knowledgeable about the game, but great people as well. I've been taking from Doug Strawbridge. When we started, I was about a 10 handicap. Since, I've gone on to break par for the first time and have lowered my handicap down to a 3. Being able to see my swing on video instantly as well as the different numbers captured by their monitors has really helped my understanding of the golf swing. If you want to get better, this is the place to go.
