After going to GolfTec all winter, here are the lesson notes we recorded after each lesson. I would highly recommend GolfTec to anyone who wants to improve their golf game. I learned more about the golf swing in 6 months than I had in probably 30 lessons over the past 7 or 8 years. If you’ve never seen your golf swing on video, you would be amazed at how much different it looks than it feels. It was a little uncomfortable at first to watch, but it is VERY valuable. These notes may not apply to everyone, but it helps me to read them regularly.
