Summertime is here — the perfect time to hit the golf course.
A company offering golf lessons and golf club fittings — Golftec — has opened its doors at 1506A Belle View Blvd. in the Belle View shopping center. The new facility is 2,250 square feet and has teaching/practice bays along with a putting green staffed by a team of coaches.
The company's coaches use advanced motion measurement, video analysis and "premium launch monitors" – to help students find a lesson plan best suited for their unique needs.
Golftec students drop an average of seven strokes from their scores, Golftec notes. The Alexandria location also features the company’s enhanced custom club-fitting program. The fitting experience combines swing characteristics with ball flight data to help identify optimal golf equipment for each student. An array of club head/shaft options are available to match players of any skill level with the clubs that best meet their needs.
“The D.C. metro area is home to one of the largest and most passionate communities of golfers in the country,” said Joe Assell, co-founder and chief executive officer of Golftec. “With this new center in Alexandria we look forward to helping both new and experienced golfers across the area play their best and enjoy the game more.”
Golftec Alexandria Center Manager Phil Bowers, a company veteran of seven years, will oversee operations at the new facility. Bowers has taught more than 11,000 lessons at Golftec and is a skilled player in his own right having qualified for the PGA of America’s National Championship three times.
“Our staff is made up of some of the finest and most experienced instructors in the area,” said Bowers. “Golftec's proven approach to instruction and club fitting allows us to fit the most improvement possible into our students busy schedules.”
The majority of Golftec certified personal coaches are PGA professionals who have taught thousands of lessons.To learn more visit golftec.com.
