Golf Tec

[m11]

has anyone used the Golf Tec program before? My brother in law is looking to get into golf, and i live on the other side of the country so i really can't be of help. Im trying to find something that would get him in the right direction quickly. He also doesnt know the difference between a 3iron and a 3 putt so im looking for something that goes over all the basics...starting at someone who hasnt held a club before.

Anyone have any recommendations? I found Golf Tec online...anyone here anything about them?

Its not really my cup of tea, but I know plenty that have used them and swear by it. Where I live in Tampa, they have a couple of regular places and the ones in Golfsmith.

I personally wouldn't recommend anything where the person couldn't see their ball flight - regardless of how high tech it is.

If your b-i-l is a total newbie, group lessons are a good way to go if he doesn't want to jump right in to private lessons. Local ranges and courses should have PGA teaching pros giving group lessons. Municipal courses, in particular, usually have some sort of "introduction to golf" courses.

What's his zip code? (trying to get a general area without getting too much personal info.)
