I am 64, started golf in my 40's, mostly 4 rounds a year. I didn't seek out any professional golf lessons till I was 58 years old. Why not sooner? I thought I could self learn. I read several golf magazines, watched videos, hit hundreds of range balls, etc. My results were maybe get in the high 90's. but in reality 100's were the norm. I would hit good shot, then maybe left, right all over the place. I finally got tired of everybody helping me look for my ball half the round. the final tipping point, my golf buddies sitting on a bench in the middle of the round lamenting how they had golfed for over 30 years and still sucked. I decided to try something different. I found a deal with Golftec in a Golfsmith store. I tried 10 lessons with indoor practice. I discovered that what I thought was a good swing was completely wrong. I had all kinds of issues. The hundreds of range balls had just ingrained bad things. My PGA pro was Mickey. He worked with me and sometimes he would actually spend extra time with me after my lesson time had expired. He would suggest drills tailored to my swing. We would snapshot videos of my before and after swings, suggest drills and what to work on. When I got depressed about something in my game he would work with me and we would get it straightened out. Roseville has 3 bays, they are equipped with simulators so you can actually track your flight path, spin, etc. I find this irreplaceable for improving during the winter. The flight path is essential for me as I have bad eyes and can't really verify path on the range. I also find the indoor simulator great for fixing an issue I might have during the summer. Go in and look at the video and simulator results, maybe 30 balls and you are back on track. The Golftec PGA instructors Brady, Mike, Mickey are very personable. Sometimes I will drop in without any appt and who ever is there will answer my question and help me with an issue. You get the feeling that they want you to succeed. As for cost. Golftec offers periodic discounts. There may be cheaper ways to get PGA help and that may work for you. But honestly, I don't see how you can beat the indoor facilities. I find the simulator practice awesome. They also do outside instruction during the season. I also find the relationship with golfsmith a big plus. I can often warm up in the golfsmith hitting bays before my lesson, maybe try a club or two. Even some of the golfsmith people take lessons from golftec. The same guys selling you clubs also use golftec. Pretty good endorsement if you ask me. SO have I gotten results. My original goal was to get into the 80's and keep the ball in play. It's been approximately 3 years. I now can occasionally hit in the 80's and always around low 90's. The fact I am not in the 80's more is really because I try hero shots sometime where a lay up would have saved me strokes. I also played in a league the last 2 years. we have 3 guys who have taken golftec lessons. 2015 we won the phalen league championship. One of the team members had been playing in the league for 30 years and had never won, he was ecstatic to say the least. I also went from a 17 hdcp to 9. I won low net several weeks, got some money for that. Went from maybe a par or two to averaging 5 to 6 with birdie chances in the mix.The single best thing, I am having fun playing. I still play with my buddies who still shoot in the 100's, at least 2 of them. I introduced one of them to golftec. He never had a driver in his bag, couldn't hit it. just a few lessons and he now hits the driver further than me. And he now gets into the 90's. I now spend time looking for their balls. Now if you decide to take lessons, you must commit to practice. Whether a person should take lessons or not can provoke all kinds of discussions. I wish I had done this sooner!! With golftec you are getting the latest technology. The golfsmith hookup is a bonus.My PGA instructor Mickey has been outstanding, He pushes me when I need it. The golfsmith hookup is a bonus. If you are truly serious about playing better golf, I recommend golftec. if not convinced , walk in and try a swing analysis. What do you have to lose. If you have any questions send me a reply. I can give you example after example how Mickey in 5 minutes corrected something I had tried to fix for weeks. truly amazing. read more

I have been working with Mickey at Golftec in Roseville for the past 6 months and my game has improved faster than at any other time in my life. There's something about high-speed video technology in the hands of an expert that makes abstract swing notions really easy to see -- probably because you get to actually see your body doing them. I can see the positions I'd like to get in, and follow my progress toward achieving them with objective measurements. Surprisingly, this approach has actually improved my sense of "feel" with my swing. Whether you're a "feel" golfer, or more analytically minded, I strongly recommend that you get a swing analysis with Golftec (I suggest asking for Mickey, the head pro, but all their coaches are probably good). You'll know by the end of the analysis whether or not this approach is for you. Gift-carding a lesson or swing analysis would make the PERFECT gift for a golfer you know! Note that during the golf season about half the lessons are on a grass range, so it's not just about hitting off of indoor mats. In the off-season, I love working on my swing because what's better than smashing driver on a 10-degre day in December! I wish I had started with Golftec earlier. It's been a game-changer for me. read more

Having started the game of golf at the ripe old age of 35 with no experience or training, by my 50's I decided I should either get some instruction, or quit. I signed up with Golftec Roseville, and for my local league to force me to play. In four years I've knocked 20 strokes off my handicap (we won't mention what that was) and learned, among other things, how you actually hit a golf ball. I've also started to approach, and occasionally break, that magic 100 mark. I can now deliberately draw and fade the ball (not like Bubba or Phil, but hey) and hit a green in reg a couple times a round. I am now able to fix things that aren't working (fat shots, slices) and can actually see the possibility of breaking 90. Golftec's program and technical advantages (online video review, notes, drills, and scheduling) are great, and a great way to work at home, but the best thing about them is the teachers. Even though I've had three, due to re-locations and career changes, the program has been consistent and based on my needs and abilities. I would recommend this program to anyone serious about doing what's necessary to better his/her game. read more

My husband took a lesson and his game improved so much that all his golf buddies wanted to sign up immediately. Make it a better winter and get ready for spring with some lesson in their great locations, read more

I have been taking lessons at GolfTec - Roseville for about a year. I am retired and in my late 60s. People told me I was wasting my money, that I couldn't improve at my age. They were wrong. I personally take lessons from Mickey Soderberg, but I have observed all the coaches and they are all excellent. They work well with juniors, middle aged, seniors, men and women, it doesn't matter. I lost in the 1st flight (last year I was in the 3rf flight) semifinals and my handicap dropped enough that my senior league recognized me as the most improved player. Thanks Mickey, thanks GolfTec. I am looking forward to improving further in the next year. BJ read more

I've known Mickey for approximately 9 years. He's been the greatest. I've recommended him to multiple friends and they all rave about his teaching style and knowledge of the golf swing. He means business and does not take any prisoners. I've taken several of my children into see Mickey as well. He makes his assessment quickly-usually only after several swings. He oftentimes takes extra time for additional assessment and encouragement. His calm and soothing demeanor cannot be broken e.i. even after my daughter almost scalded a golf ball by his head. Other instructors are also excellent but Mickey remains # 1 in our book! Thank you read more

I took up golf again after a 45 year hiatus. I quickly learned starting again was not as easy as hopping on a bike again. I was guided by a friend to Mickey Soderberg at GolfTec, Roseville. With Mickey's coaching I'm playing better and enjoying the game more. I've dropped 15 strokes in my score over the summer, and I'm near my goal of shooting 90 regularly. With Mickey's excellent guidance I can dream of a new goal lower than 90. (Not bad for a 70 year old) I highly recommend Mickey and the facilities at GolfTec, Roseville, if you want to improve your game. read more

I reached out to Mickey Soderberg to instruct my kid. While there I signed up for my own lessons. He analyzed me and made a very subtle change to my swing path, and that led to my first ever 80 on Father's Day at a very difficult links course. I can't wait to progress to more advanced topics. I am 50 years old and was a 20.1 handicap at the beginning of the 2015 season. I am a 16.4 at the end of the 2015 season directly as a result of Mickey's instruction. Great technology and a heck of a great guy. Looking forward to a long relationship!!! read more

I want to tell you about the golf pro Mickey...I am a beginner and a senior person and never thought I could learn the game at this juncture. However, a friend convinced me to try Mickey and it is working....He is wonderful in so many ways.....patient, smart, very skilled and knows when to push and not push (I am very bad still but optimistic now as he repeats when he needs to and back tracks without getting inpatient).....I highly recommend Mickey if you want to learn... read more

Golftec Roseville is an excellent place to take golf lessons. The staff is very knowledgeable and supportive. They will work with each persons swing independently. They will build on what you do well and correct any flaws you might have. They do not teach one method of the golf swing. Being able to view my lessons and lesson notes online is very helpful for me. read more

I went to GolfTEC in Roseville for an initial evaluation in September. I was quite impressed by how well my instructor understood the golf swing. I've been working on the wrong things for years! I started hitting it better right away. I'm looking forward to making my ugly looking swing look pretty with my lessons this winter! read more
