The "fitter" that fit me is no longer at this location but…read more..... would I recommend Gofltech at this moment in time? NO. If this review below results in a different outcome, I will keep everyone posted. Read on for EXPLANATION. 1) My driver fitting says that I got fitted for a Cobra Driver that they didn't even have in stock. Not only this one, but they had NO Cobra drivers in their possession. 2) My Iron fitting shows NO DISCERNABLE difference between what I was hitting (Cobra 1 Length Steel Shafts) and the Ping (G435 Graphite). The "fitter" said I should get. When I say no discernable difference, I mean Launch Angle, Decent Angle, Ball Speed, and Off Line (9.7 yds) were THE SAME. The only STAT that was different was the backspin. The Pings were 340 RPMs Lower. Again, NO DISCERNABLE difference. After getting all the wrong answers from the Local Store and told there was no one other than he who could help me (Lie), I contacted the Corporate Office and was given the Name and Phone # for the Regional Manager. Even the Regional Manager told me that he would not have recommended making a change because there was NO DISCERNABLE DIFFERENCE in the clubs. I asked the Regional if the "fitters" were also paid commission on their sales and he hesitated at first and I asked him again, and he said YES. After several back and forth calls with the Regional, he informed me that the best Golftech Marketing would do for me was offer me $600 for my clubs on a trade in. That was less that 1/2 of what I paid them a year ago and my clubs have only been used about 20 rounds and no practicing. I told them I would give them my clubs and $300 toward a comparable club with proper fitting. SecondSwing is their preferred provider for offering to buy clubs that players may want to trade-in. SecondSwing offered me $554. WOW! Golftech offered me a WHOLE WHOOPING $6 more! Of course I turned them down. I know that not everyone will have the experience as I did, but you would think that Golftech Corporate would want to do what was right by the CUSTOMER if for no other reason the Customer was lied to by the fitter and also imputed totally false information about a Driver Fitting, possible, in hopes of earning... that would be the incorrect use of a word, collecting another commission. A. The "fitter imputed false information about the driver fitting and also should not have recommended any change to my iron set based on Golftech's own fitting equipment. B. The person at the store lied to me about not being able to speak to anyone else but him about my concerns. I am still going to try and pursue this by copying this review to upper management in Golftech. I will post a follow-up at a later date.

Had a completely disappointing experience recently which involved the owner of "Your Golf Shop", a…read moregentleman named Jeff Webster.. my son was just in town, and while golfing we noticed that his driver head was cracked, so after the round I called "Mike" at the Port Charlotte location, as he's been my guy for years there, and personally fitted my son for his Mizuno 243's, and me for my Callaway ai Smoke HL irons (4-SW).. and Mike told me that they couldn't do anything, as it was well outside of warranty, but suggested that I contact PING personally, as in his words, "sometimes they will work with you", so I did.. and after speaking with PING's customer service people, THEY made the decision to replace my sons G410 Plus, with a brand new driver free of charge.. I never asked for anything free, and simply wanted either repair options through them, or fair trade in value towards a new one.. I was in fact blown away by what they chose to do, as was my son.. Well apparently PING's decision to replace the club outside of the warranty period didn't sit well with the owner of "Your Golf Shop", as when I called him for a tracking number for my sons driver to reference with PING, who claimed to have not received it yet, he unloaded on me with all of his opinions related to this case.. I'd add that none of his opinions were informed, or asked for in this particular instance to be quite honest, as his only role in this as an authorized PING retailer was to initiate the club swap by shipping it back, and opening the repair case with PING, which direct consumers apparently cannot do, so they directed me to go to the golf shop.. but those facts didn't stop Jeff from weighing in with his own baseless version of what he obviously convinced himself had happened, and telling me essentially all about myself, as in his mind I was "gaming the system", and unworthy of such a gesture from PING.. He even accused my son and I of altering the club, claiming that the shaft in it didn't belong to that particular model, which again is nowhere near true, and another of Jeff Webster's many fictions, as my son was fitted for it by PING at a demo day in New Jersey at my home golf club, Battleground CC.. his club definitely didn't have a stock shaft, as he requires x-stiff, and the PING club fitter shafted it for him that day.. so not only did Jeff think we were somehow scamming PING out of a new driver, who once again made the decision to replace this driver themselves after I asked for repair options, or fair trade in value, but he also basically called us liars with regards to how the club is currently equipped, versus how Jeff believes it to have been originally equipped.. but in his mind.. I plan to speak with PING today to let them know what the FedEx tracking number is on what Jeff sent to PING, albeit quite begrudgingly, and will also see if they can ship the new club directly to me rather than to his golf shop, as this once loyal customer hopes to never have to set foot in either of Jeff's shops again, which is a shame, because his guy Mike in the Port Charlotte store is the guy you want to see if you're in the area and in need of clubs.. Absolutely ridiculous behavior for anyone in business, least of all an owner, specifically for a transaction where he stood to lose absolutely nothing until he continued to run his mouth and eventually lost a customer.. and a paying one at that, as he was able to quickly quote exactly what I had spent in his shop, so this guy is clearly reckless, as he knows that I spend money, but he couldn't care less when his feelings are involved.. In my most recent conversation with him he actually play acted using a crying voice, insinuating that I called PING and cried, but believe me, he came to the first call I made to his shop looking for tracking information loaded for bear, so clearly this had been eating at Jeff for well over a week.. Quite honestly one of the most insane customer experiences ever.. Michael T. Langan

Five lifetime attempts, five exits thinking, "If this is golf, burn it all down." Topgolf? Even better--nothing like slamming a club into the ground, rattling your entire skeleton, and wondering if you're about to yeet yourself off a balcony mid-swing. Hard pass. I'm a motorcycle-riding, scuba-diving, ripped-jeans, tattooed "this seems like a bad idea, let's do it anyway" kind of person. Plaid pants and polite clapping? Could not be me. Golf people? I had my doubts. But I made a deal with a friend: they'd ride motorcycles with me if I tried golf with them. They're now on a bike. So here I am, betraying my entire personality. Enter Matt. Before I even showed up, his messages were funny, patient, and--annoyingly--welcoming. So I went in, fully expecting to hate every second of it. Three hours later... I'm out here questioning my life choices. This man didn't just sell me clubs. He basically performed an intervention. He taught me how to hold a club (turns out I was doing... whatever chaos that was before), explained why Topgolf wrecked my shoulder, and somehow made sense of why mini-golf made me irrationally angry. Then he had me swing different clubs until we found ones that actually felt right--which, again, was new information to me. And just when I thought we were done, he starts adjusting everything. Cutting clubs down. Fixing my stance. Watching me swing. Adjusting again. Demonstrating. Repeating. Encouraging. Over and over until I went from "this is stupid" to "wait... I want to try that again." And here's the thing that stuck with me--his passion is clearly not in retail. After all, he asked me what my budget was in the beginning and stayed right in my paltry budget. His passion is in getting people to feel this sport. You can tell he genuinely wants you to catch whatever this is so you'll just... go. play. Not buy more stuff. Not overthink it. Just go be out there hitting a ball around and somehow enjoying it. I left with clubs that actually fit me, a swing that doesn't feel like I'm dislocating something, a bag, balls, tees and--this is the worst part--I'm excited to go back. It's taken me way too long to write this review because I've been busy turning into the exact person I used to make fun of. If you need me, I'll be at the driving range, voluntarily, like some kind of addict. Matt is the real deal. If you think you hate golf, if you just need a good person to explain it all- who won't make you feel like you don't belong, congratulations (!) you're exactly the person who should go see him. I'll never buy golf equipment from anyone else.

I sought out Rick for his successful college coaching credentials. Our first lesson showed he was an impressive and fast observer, and based his coaching on my game, physique, and basic flaws, which he made most understandable. In 5 more lessons, he gave me simple drills, much encouragement, and the order to "remember the good ones, not the bad ones." My accuracy percentage has improved impressively. My former persistent tops have become (mostly) airborne shots with about +8 yards per iron, and 10-15 on woods. I now have a clear idea about how and why proper posture (a big focus) and sequence work together. My short game have improved greatly, with more up and downs. You cannot be disappointed by practicing what he tells you!
