I’m glad Chandler is more open for you.
GolfTEC Lessons
That is awesome to see.very cool your coach was able to spot something and get you a drill that resonates with you. Hope you are able to make it stick!!
It great to see progress especially when it's something minor and easy to ingrain.

Went for a practice session last night with the intention of getting in some swings and getting some ball data. It was amateur hour, almost like they were running a daycare. Parents bringing kids to a lesson and I'm talking like maybe 5-6 years old and being loud. The putting "green" is right outside several of the bays and its all I could hear. I don't mind kids, I have my own, though they are older but man It was annoying. With no doors on the bay rooms I could barely focus on what I was doing.
Going to chalk it up as a one off as its never happened before but really hoping this is not a thing.

I’m going to be playing in quite a few PGA section events this year.
Over the next few weeks, my coach and I will be looking at that schedule, and developing a strategy for our lessons, and playing in a more competitive environment. Super excited to crank this up a notch and really get into a grind with GolfTEC!

I got an email asking if I wanted move my evaluation. I was worried until I realized it was just moving it up an hour if I wanted, because someone cancelled. That is pretty cool service. I have never been there and it would have been easy just to let it roll instead of asking me my preference.
Pretty stoked about doing this tomorrow and hope me and the coach gel.
I feel like they’ve really put an emphasis on good customer service. At least that’s been the experience that I’ve had in my studio and in the two others that I stopped at on the way home from work to practice. It’s something that makes you feel better about the money you spent for sure.
Any of you renewing after this spicy email?
ugh, that had to be so frustrating. Like, what kind of person thinks that is OK? That's so crazy. Hopefully you don't encounter it again.
Dude, that's awesome! quite the commitment, I like it. Look forward to seeing how it all goes for you!!
It’s a great promotion. I am going to put it in the Chrome Tour thread too.
I went to an evaluation today and was impressed. Liked my coach, and in the 10 minute lesson, I made progress. I had a number of good things with my iron swing and some bad. Except driver: it was all bad. Like quit golf, bad.
I signed up for the 5 lessons with practice. I would have never done it without this thread and the wrap up thread

Love hearing that you signed up. Knowing your game and ability, I think a 5 lesson package is going to be a great tuneup for you. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
I know that I need more than 5 lessons, but that was an easier pill to swallow on the family budget. My goals are humble and not score related: I just want to get better instead of keep getting worse.
Dude that’s awesome! Looking forward to following along!
You + me + GOLFTEC =
at the Sophia Cup!
Glad to hear it went well and you liked the coach. Look forward to seeing how your lessons go. I'm sure they'll get you moving the right direction!
When the noodle got out and he told me to miss it, I literally thought that it was impossible. Somehow, my brain figured it out. I did graze it, though
I just was so tired of getting worse. I said it in a thread awhile ago: I don’t mind being a 12, I just don’t want be a 12 that loses to 16’s every round.You + me + GOLFTEC =
2025 was the year for taking care of family and work upheaval. This year, is about me and my wife and our hobbies of travel and golf.
Not sure why I was so intimidated to do this evaluation and lessons. But I am looking forward to it.
But the lesson in itself, was only 10 minutes. My hand path going back was so far off and causing issues. When it felt like I was starting way too inside to miss the noodle, it was perfect. When I thought I was doing other things wrong, I wasn’t.
Optimotion is the game changer. I am not sure if the evaluation gets loaded into the app, but I will share if/when it does.

That last part is something I think a lot of people feel. I was worried going into my evaluation as well. I think it was being afraid of being told I was a horrible golfer when I’ve been working to improve. The good thing is not once have I ever felt judged by a coach during lesson or practice and I’ve had some days where I look like it’s my first time swinging a club. They staff is awesome!

The short lessons are incredibly valuable in my opinion. I've been going for half hour sessions to either refine a 'teach' or get my next little bit of support to improve my game, and then I use all my extra time + practice to work on refining it.
Massive. Love that you're doing this my friend. Makes me quite happy.
Hand path was a big part of what I was told at my eval too. They put my stuff in the app and I can still get to it. I go back to the drills now and then which I find awesome to be able to do.
Quick question, with a very long setup:
I’m just coming back to golf after about five years off due to injuries. It was a pretty dark and depressing time. I couldn’t even watch golf without getting emotional.
I decided to come back once I realized I could hold a club again using larger Jumbomax grips. Because of the injuries, though, I’ve had to completely retool my swing this year. The focus has been getting into positions that avoid pain and relying much less on hand-eye coordination and more on grooving a repeatable, solid swing. I’ve only played five rounds since coming back, but I finally got back into the 70s in my last round.
I have a few GOLFTEC locations near me, and the closest one has a pretty solid instructor. I’m planning to do the $95 swing evaluation soon before it expires.
So, to the question. Since I’ve played with you in the past, respect your game, and know you liked finding your game in the dirt the way I did, do you think the tech they use is a good resource for getting my game from a 4 to scratch? I’ll be honest, I need another set of eyes beyond SportsBox AI. Specifically, someone who can help me get where I want to go faster, without trying to force me into a stock swing model that my injuries just won’t allow.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Learning what I do right was a huge benefit for improving my game. That I learned from my GolfTec lessons.
He did put my evaluation onto the app. I will say two things:
1) got home and realized that I had a family conflict for my scheduled lesson on Friday and it was easy to change it through the app without calling him and telling him why.
2) the difference between a bad swing and good swing can be finite. Literally, when I look at the video with a blind eye between before and after, they look almost the same without optimotion lines. The difference in ball flight was straighter and more distance in the after swing. I don’t hit it long, but I was hitting it much shorter in the before swing that looked similar.
I am going to share some photos from the app so that you know what kind of feedback that you get. This was only from the $95 evaluation. Even if you want to dig it out of the dirt on your own, the evaluation is still gold. These screenshots are from the app on my phone showing the different tabs from my 10 minute lesson. Of course, there is video on my app, but just wanted you to get the gist of it.
That freaking noodle…
