GOLFTEC - Whitby

(1 review)

GolfTec Whitby is an exceptional golf learning experience and I have so much good to say about this…read morecompany ... BUT even more to say about this particular location (GolfTec Whitby) because of who is leading it, head instructor, Steve Rodriguez. Let's put to the side for a moment that he's obviously a pro and a guy that still plays the game competitively (which isn't always the case with teaching pros). That's not the magic. Steve is patient & encouraging, etc... good, but not magic. The #1 thing this guy does that makes GolfTec Whitby great is from the moment you meet, he puts you in a non-judgement zone so you can learn faster. Easier said than done because many of us judge ourselves. It doesn't matter your level, your good or bad shots, he's encouraging. He knows when to pull back on instruction and not put too much into your heard AND he genuinely gets excited when you really hit it; "Hello!!!" he can be heard saying... apparently he can talk to a golf ball, tell mine to stay out of the water. To say he helped me improve my swing and overall game significantly is an understatement. No... I'm not going on tour, but I hated the game I loved at times (sounds like some people's marriages). We started with a plan I didn't stick to - I didn't commit to the process. He literally pulled me aside and said, "Look, trust me on this. Don't worry about distance, don't worry about spin, I just want you to stop gripping the club so tightly. I don't want you just coming here going through the motions. If you need to take some time off, do so. But work with me here". In one lesson he even had me turn off tracer path because I kept looking at how far (well not far) the ball went. That's wisdom. That's the intangible. Fast forward the 2.5 years we've been together and the results speak for themselves; I'd brag how my 8 iron now carries ~154 and goes 162 and I take a 6 iron to carry 174 and roll 190 ...but I'd have to tell you how my 8 iron used carry 120 and I would (sorry for what's coming) shank the ball. Shank ... ugh ... the stuff that would make me want to quit more than ever. It's so rare now, but if it happens, I'm like, I know why, and I know what's wrong. But here's the other thing. At least for me, golf has its ups and downs. And there are times where I literally called him up and was done with golf, and other times where I call him up excited by the round in the 70s I shot! (Relax it's from 5600 yards with my 87 year old Dad.) So I guess he's kind of like a therapist ... lol ... more the point is that he cares. He's not there to sell you what you don't need and ring every dime that us golf-addicts are willing to pay; he is there so you can enjoy the game more, go out and do what golf should really be about - having fun. Here's the deal, technology and facilities can separate the probables from the possibles when it comes to choosing a place to invest your dollars trying to learn this damn hard sport... but the true calibre of instruction rests in the hands of the people entrusted to teach it. With GolfTec Whitby and Steve R ... you're in incredible hands. Rob, the other pro, is always so courteous and never sees you without asking how you're doing. When you're there practicing (which is an essential part of my package with the camera reviews), even though he's not my coach, I can ask him a question and he's there to help, not because it's his job per se, because he wants too. Overall, I would highly recommend GolfTec Whitby, and Steve Rodriguez as an amazing instructor for anyone looking to improve their golf game. Note: Now that you read this review... understand I don't often give reviews. Why? I have a social brand in the work I do (professional speaker & author & Fortune 100 VP) and some of my 'hobby' stuff has showed up on SQAIRZ golf and Alphard golf (makers of the Club Booster e-cart) despite not being an amazing golfer. In other words... if I write it down, it represents me by brand. Make the time to invest in you game with this location... you won't be disappointed.

PGC is a farmer's field course, located next to the auction house barn off Brock Rd. The city has…read morerecently sold off the back 9 of this course and it's now a 9 hole course, part of the east GTA Bruce's Golf Reward program. It's $25 including a cart which makes for fantastic value. The condition of the course was decent. I'm not a big fan of the layout as the pathways cross back and forth which causes for quite a bit of traffic on a few holes. Be careful where you park your car as the parking lot is only a few yards from hole #2's green! The set up on Hole #5, a 140ish par 3 over a valley, leaves only 5 yards to a low fence at the back of the green. Some folks are just plopping it over the fence to get a free lift. I tried to play it legit, but topped my ball into the valley, then pitching blind over the hill and over the fence anyways. Bah! Hole #8 is ridiculous. You have to carry 202 over a wide and sunken bunker on a par 3 where the clearing to the green is maybe 30 yards wide surrounded by forest. If you can't hit a ball long and straight, you're going to lose a few balls. I decided to take a 3 iron into the bunker and then try and blast out. Unless I'm getting a lot of wind, I'm not sure how I'd carry over the bunker and land on the green or drive the green with a wood and not roll through. Not the prettiest or fanciest place, but it's cheap and adequate. Hmmm kinda like my last date.

The clubhouse is pretty rundown. Staff were very friendly and accommodating…read more The course is terribly designed. The holes crisscrossing in front of each other. Someone is going to get hit and die here. The greens slope down and away. Play it short. Not a big fan of this course. Will not be back for a while.
