I went for a swing evaluation discovered what I thought was wrong was actually okay, but what I thought was okay was wrong.
GOLFTEC might not be for everyone, but if you know what as long as works for you it might just be the right place.

I did a driver fitting with Tim and it was a great experience. I could tell he was experienced and willing to help find something best for me. After purchasing, I had an issue out of his control and he worked with me to figure things out. Will definitely be visiting them again and you should to!

Taylor Ratliff was excellent during my recent club fitting. We both found out with my age and current physical limitations my current equipment is good for now. My current equipment specs are not "normal" and beyond most OEM offerings, but we got close. Taylor even recommended a competitor that possibly had more offerings. He warned me they may try to drive me to more expensive offerings. During my research I have heard the same issues about that "competitor". We discussed all my issues from tech info, hitting surfaces, and my swing mechanics. I decided to take a few lessons since my last ones were 2 years ago with Golftec and they got me right then. I considered the cost of the fitting well worth the "honest" conversation and findings I got.

Friday I called talked to Tim, to make an appointment for a swing evaluation for today at 2pm, I drove 35mins to get to this place, showed up 10mins early for this appt with Taylor, & for him to tell me "Sorry we over booked you" Basically tough luck wait 1hr & half or rebook. He dropped the ball,& he knew he dropped ball. Instead of making it right with my appointment being first confirmed, I choose to look for busines else where. Since the person they squeezed in on my time was there too .

I didn’t really know what to expect when starting at GolfTec as I had some horrible lessons from PGA pros in the past. After about 6 months of working with Ricky I can say I highly recommend working with a teaching professional here if you are serious about improving your game. I have dropped my handicap about 6 strokes and am driving the ball further than I ever have. What I liked most about working with Ricky is he doesn’t paint with a broad brush. He made individualized changes to my swing that were achievable, and made sure I understood why we were changing them and how it would affect the golf swing. I hadn’t broke 80 my entire golf career and I put 4 rounds in the 70s this year. It’s a bit pricey, but if you’re serious about getting better it’s worth every penny.
