Having a great experience working with Coach Hank at GOLFTEC in St. Pete. His detailed feedback and personalized instruction really helped improve my swing, distance, and accuracy. I’ve already seen a big difference in my consistency and feel much more confident on the course. Hank also has exceptional expertise in club fitting, which made a noticeable difference in my performance and comfort on the course. The St. Pete facility is top-notch—clean, modern, and equipped with high-tech analytical tools that really help you understand and improve your game. Highly recommend Hank and GOLFTEC to anyone looking to take their golf game to the next level!

I am a brand new golfer. I’ve been playing courses for only about 3 months. I’ve had a few lessons with Hank and he’s great! Good energy & very knowledgeable. After my 2nd lesson, I played the best game ever. Hit the green from the tee twice!

Have been taking lessons with Hank Rupright at Golftec for about a month now, he does a great job explaining everything and providing drills I can do at home to work on my swing!

Hank is an amazing teacher. Brought me from a beginner to having a consistent swing in a surprisingly short period of time. I love the way he breaks everything down to simple to understand mechanics using their AI enhanced golf simulators. A must for the casual golfer or hard-core player looking to shave some points off their handicaps.
⛳️ 6-Month Update:
It’s now been six months since I started taking lessons with Hank, and the progress has been steady and real. Most weeks we layer in something new, a slight adjustment to my stance, a tweak to my grip, or using the simulator data to fine-tune my general mechanics. It all builds on itself in a way that never feels overwhelming. My game continues to improve, and I’m gaining confidence with every club and situation on the course.
The highlight so far was when Hank took me out for 9 holes at an actual course. Having him there in person, combined with the swing video he captured during the round, gave me feedback I couldn’t have gotten any other way. It’s genuinely getting me closer to the point where I can comfortably join more experienced golfers. If you’re on the fence about lessons, this is your sign. 😉
