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.)

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
