GolfTEC Coaches, Centers earned national honors in 2016 for skills and service to golf

By GolfTEC Digital

GolfTEC’s mission is to help people play better golf. This simple notion hasn’t changed since 1995, when our company began under premise that emerging technology could aid golf improvement more than the subjective eye of a given instructor.

Ball flight laws fact based instructionSince then, GolfTEC has taught millions of golf lessons using this idea of “fact-based” instruction, and has grown with over 600 Certified Personal Coaches and become the world’s largest employer of PGA Professionals.

So, every year around this time, it’s exciting for us to honor our Coaches and Centers when they’re recognized for their impact on the golfing community around them. This year alone, seven GolfTEC Coaches and 15 GolfTEC Improvement Centers have been nationally recognized by the likes of their peers, Golf Digest and the PGA of America!

GolfTEC CEO and Co-Founder, Joe Assell, expressed the following regarding these honors:

“We give nearly a million lessons annually and our incredible coaching staff is the most well trained in
the world. Our growth and success is a direct result of the fact that our students experience measurable improvement quickly, thanks to our proven approaches to instruction and custom clubfitting. I couldn’t be more proud of this year’s award winners.”

Congratulations to the elite Coaches and Centers listed below, and keep up the great work in 2017!
