For 40th Bday, Beba went and got me a 15 lesson package at Golftec. I gotta say this was a great present. So first, a big thank you to her for getting me this wonderful gift. I love Golf but not as much as I love you. So I thank you again. Here's my honest take on how I feel about Golftec. Hopefully, this helps anyone interested in joining. It's got it's pros and cons and I don't believe it's a one size fits all. If you're a Golf novice, you love the game, you have an urge to learn the fundamentals, and you have the time and the cash to spend. This may be a good choice for you. I'd recommend that you take it slow though. Learn golf etiquette, get some pointers from a Golf coach (maybe try Groupon or your local range), try to develop your own unique swing so that way you have something to improve upon once you're ready to go all-in at Golftec. Once you check off those boxes, take a look at the packages at GT and see which one suits you best. I got a 15 lesson package, good for 12 months. In a nutshell. You pick your instructor, You pick a schedule that works for you (this can be managed via the Golftec mobile app) Each lesson is 30 minutes. During your lesson, you'll be hooked up to cables that will provide you with data on your swing. Your video analysis can be found on the GT website, so you can always go back for a refresher. Pretty cool. Practice sessions are unlimited, You can go at any time during hours of operation and practice at any Golftec location. Again, these sessions can be set up on the mobile app. All in all, I recommend Golftec. The packages are worth the price point. My golf game is more on the average side. The 15 lesson package was more than enough. Personally, I would've been happy with a 10 lesson package and bypassing the fitting session as I found it to be overkill. Your membership gives you access to all 180+ locations nationwide. But please note. Not all locations are created equal. This Golftec location was the most up to date by far IMHO. Parking can be a pain though, especially if you go after 5 pm. In closing. If you're dedicated to becoming the best golfer you can be, you take time to play regularly and you have the money to invest. Go for it. My experience at GT was solid. My coach Tony kept it fun and I enjoyed working with him. Thanks for reading. read more

Fitting: My fitting experience was exceptional. I was always using my dads clubs (old ping blades) and figured it was time to get a set of my own. I went down to T&D and bought a used set of Ping G5s. Something just felt off about them and I was hitting the ball inconsistent. I learned the importance of club fitting and decided to give GOLFTEC a call. I chatted with Don Costanzo about the process and decided to go in the same day. He took my measurements and had me swing a few times to get some numbers on the board. Turns out that the Ping G5's work perfect with my swing, however the shafts were to flexed and lie angle was wrong. He recommended that I stay with the clubs I had (did not ask or push me to purchase new clubs). He recommended that he send the clubs to ping to be re-shafted (DG-S300) and lie angle adjusted(white dot), out the door about $130. Ping cleaned the clubs to, they came back looking almost new! Immediately starting hitting the ball better the first time out at the range, and the feel was soooo much better. After about 3 trips to range I was dialed in, far and straight consistently. On the course I was hitting a lot more greens and shaved about 10 strokes off the card. Get fitted!!! Lessons/Swing Analysis About 6 months after my fitting I was shooting low 80s. Unfortunately I got in a car accident and messed up my lower back so I was unable to play for over a year (doctors recommendation) so I basically stopped playing for three years because I got out of shape couldn't find the motivation to get back out there. Finally I got the motivation to start playing but almost completely lost my swing. Shooting low 100s, mid 90s on a good day. As you can imagine I grew extremely frustrated not being able to hit the ball like I used to. I emailed Don and decided to schedule a swing analysis, and as I expected my swing was not there anymore. I told him I was interested in lessons but had to think about it. During the analysis he gave me some pointers on my setup and take back and I immediately saw huge improvement on my next swing. I figured if he was able to do that in five minutes how much could I take from lessons? I pulled the plug and got the 10 lesson pack with 3 months of practice. I'm 4 lessons in and am seeing drastic improvements. I'm very excited to go to my lessons. Dons approach with me is great, without going into great detail he isn't dismantling my swing, he's working around my strong points so its a lot easier for me to take in and apply. And I'm able to go to the facility anytime I want to practice on the launch monitor (good way to dial in distances on your clubs) It's getting to the point that if I miss hit I know why and can correct on the course. I can't stress how happy I am with GOLFTEC and Don. If you are interested in lessons get an analysis first, if it clicks with you like it did for me, get lessons!!! Go in with an open mind, don't let ego or your hard head stop you from improving. Definitely make an appointment. Any coaches that aren't giving lessons are usually up front and will be happy to chat with you. They can't come out and talk to you if they are busy with a student giving a lesson, that's extremely disruptive to both the coach and the student. Hey, golf is expensive..... but I can certainly say that you get what you pay for with GOLFTEC. Hit em straight! read more

I have been a client of Golftec and Don C for 3 years. I had a terrible slice when I started. Don dismantled my swing and started over to rebuild my swing. Through the use of video, I now have an inside out swing and have lowered my handicap by 15 strokes. Most importantly I now understand the dynamics of a golf swing and know exactly what I did wrong when I hit a bad shot. Golf is a game of inches and GolfTec has helped me to understand what it takes to have a winning golf swing. I highly recommend GolfTec to anyone wanting to improve their game and become a more consistent golfer. Steve F St Petersburg, FL read more

I've been working with Don at Golftec for a few years, and I am a HUGE supporter of both. When I came to see Don, I couldn't finish many holes or a round let alone carry a handicap. I thought that if I stuck with it for a while, I could one day break 100. Fast forward a few years, and I'm breaking 80 and am pushing hard toward a single digit handicap with Don's help. A few of my favorite things about Golftec: 1) the people - it's like Cheers without the beer. 2) the video and online archive - I learn a lot by going online and watching and re-watching my lessons, and working through the drills that correspond to that week's lesson. 3) the numbers - I'm analytical by nature, so having all my swing numbers and body angles in front of me and is extremely helpful in understanding where I need work. 4) the air conditioning - no need to change from your work clothes for a quick 20-30 minutes of practice during your lunch hour. read more

I walked into Golftec about 2.5 years ago and had never really picked up a club. I had just retired and told Tony G that I wanted to learn how to play. After a few lessons, I went out and had one of the most discouraging games imaginable - shot about 130. However, I had more fun than any retired person should have and made a commitment that this is the game for me. A little over 2 years later, I regularly shoot in the low 90's and on occasion I can shoot in the high 80's and beat people that have been playing the game for 20 years. Amazing place, amazing people! If you want to learn how to play and have the facility to practice on your schedule... this is the place for you. See you on the course. read more
