Dedicated to helping people play better golf through data-driven instruction, GOLFTEC Coaches in Training Centers across the world have taught over ten million lessons and helped tens of thousands of golfers fix their slice, gain more distance and generally enjoy playing golf more.

Teaching Philosophy

We began with one Coach dedicated to helping people play better golf. Today, that coach is our CEO, we are a top employer of PGA Professionals with over 800 Certified Coaches worldwide whose sole purpose is tailoring instruction to you and serving as your guide so you achieve your goals on the golf course. Our Coaches use data and facts, never opinion, to identify the unique characteristics of your swing where you can improve.

The GOLFTEC Evolution

THE FIRST GOLFTEC 1995

Opened in 1995 under the name Driving Obsession, the first GOLFTEC Coach was hired to operate the first location in Denver. Today, that first coach, PGA Professional Joe Assell, is GOLFTEC’s CEO.

PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY since 2002

GOLFTEC’s original coaching software was officially patented in 2002. Over 20 years of development, our proprietary software and technology has continued to improve, providing an unmatched toolkit for GOLFTEC Certified Personal Coaches.

RAPID GROWTH 2005-2020

Fueled by passionate Coaches and dedicated Students working on a foundation of structured golf lessons combined with technology and custom club fittings, GOLFTEC has grown to over 200 locations in six countries employing 700+ full-time golf Coaches.

WORLD LEADER

Today, GOLFTEC is the world leader in golf instruction. Our Coaches have taught over 10 million lessons, helped tens of thousands of golfers play better golf, shaving an average 7 strokes and gaining an average 13.5 yards with every club fitting. We employ more PGA of America Professionals than any other US company.

Fact-Based Diagnosis

Only an objective, fact-based analysis of your swing can provide the basis for where you need work and how to measure your progress. That’s why every GOLFTEC student starts with a Swing Evaluation. Using GOLFTEC’s patented TECSWING Training System, your Coach combines the data captured using motion measurement of your swing with real-time video analysis to determine precisely what key improvements are needed to take your game to the next level.

Sequential Lessons

True improvement requires more than a quick fix or sporadic lessons. Rather than overwhelm you with too many changes at once, your Coach focuses on a simple, step-by-step approach to ensure consistent improvement and performance. As each change is mastered, your Coach builds on that to achieve the best swing possible that you can comfortably repeat on the golf course. Sequential learning is the fastest approach to achieve lasting results.

Advanced Retention Tools

To review and reinforce the improvement process, GOLFTEC’s online Player Performance Center and GOLFTEC TO GO app provide 24/7 access to all of your lessons, Coach comments and recommended practice drills. You can view your lessons from any device to help you improve anywhere. In addition, you can schedule future lessons and manage your GOLFTEC account when it’s convenient for you.

Video-Based Practice

Practice between your lessons is imperative to faster and lasting results. The interactive video in every GOLFTEC Training Bay lets you see immediate replays of each swing from two camera angles simultaneously, making your practice sessions more productive. You can even use our video drawing tools to add a swing plane, posture and other lines that make it easier to see how you're doing with your Coach's prescribed swing changes.

Precision-Matched Clubs

The confidence of using properly fit equipment is another key to your golf success. So each GOLFTEC Game Plan comes with a TECFIT club fitting. Our club fitting system provides a precise, unbiased fitting experience. Your certified fitter cross-references your ball flight characteristics with a database of thousands of club and shaft combinations to find the models that optimize the results of your swing. Clubs are then custom-built to your personal specifications.
