Fitting: My fitting…read moreexperience 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!

For 40th Bday, Beba went and got me a 15 lesson package at Golftec. I gotta say this was a great…read morepresent. 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.

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.
