GolfTEC North Bethesda Wants To Help Golfers Take the First Step to Get Golf Ready
Thursday, December 15th, 2011GolfTEC North Bethesda Wants To Help Golfers Take the First Step to Get Golf Ready
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) November 29, 2011
Why do most golfers start playing golf? Usually, most of GolfTEC clients answered to have fun. Question: Is golf still fun?
To improve the technique and play better golf in the spring, GolfTEC North Bethesda is the right place. For more than 15 years, GolfTEC has been helping golfers of all skill levels play better and enjoy the game more. Whether, a complete beginner or an accomplished golfer, GolfTEC’s comprehensive approach to improvement can help golfers reach their personal goals.
Sequential approach to golf lessons
After millions of golf lessons, countless research studies and ongoing feedback from clients, GolfTEC has concluded that a sequential approach to golf lessons is critical to building repeatable skills and lasting results. Sequential lessons are one of the five factors required for maximum improvement. As a GolfTEC North Bethesda Coach improves the swing, they will follow a ground-up, start-to-finish sequence that builds one good motion on top of another:
1. Address – the critical foundation of all good golf swings
2. Backswing – the initial movement that sets up the rest of the swing
3. Top – an athletic, fundamentally-sound top position maximizes the odds of success
4. Downswing – the most difficult, and arguably most important, move in the swing
5. Impact – often called the moment of truth; it is the natural result of all previous moves
6. Release – an effective way to control and alter trajectory and shot shape
7. Finish – the reflection of a controlled swing and solid mechanics
Holiday Sale
There are many golf related gifts on the market today: training aids, clubs, balls, etc. Some of these training aids don’t consider the unique swing and technique that golfers have, so more often than not the “system” that they’re trying to implement is not geared to help golfers play better golf and start to enjoy the game. Here are some ideas to start golfers down the right path:
Golf Swing Evaluation regular $ 195.00; discounted 25% to $ 146.25
Winter 3-month Plan regular $ 1,227.00; discounted 25% to $ 920.25 ** Swing Evaluation Included (**10 Lessons, 3-months In-Bay Video Practices, Golf Fitness Evaluation, Current Set Analysis, Discount on purchase of any new golf equipment)
Golf Myth
“The average golfer don’t need to be fitted for their wedges. Buying one or two off the rack is just as good as any other option.” David Saunders, PGA, Director of Custom Club Fitting
Golf Truth
Anything that a golfer uses for more than 30% of their shots had better be the right choice!! Next time in the market for a new wedge, consider that the “scoring game” is an art form. Picasso would not be asked to paint a masterpiece with a normal everyday paint roller. So trying to lower scores with faulty equipment is a losing proposition. According to David Saunders, PGA, “I regularly see in my fitting sessions that gapping, bounce, flex and head shape issues inhibit student’s potential success.” The key is to tailor a wedge system that caters to the players individual needs. If there are inconsistencies in wedge play take some time and head down to GolfTEC in North Bethesda. “I will make sure that your wedge system is firing on all cylinders”, said David Saunders, PGA.
Custom Club Fitting
The Fall is the perfect time to get the current set evaluated. Call GolfTEC North Bethesda and set up a personal set evaluation or club fitting session with the Director of Custom Club Fitting.
Fitness for Golf
The Fall is the perfect time to start a personal golf fitness program. Call our store and set up a personal golf fitness evaluation with the Director of Golf Fitness.
Play better golf. GolfTEC will make it happen.

Golf Lessons Online – Will They Work For Me? The All New Golf Lesson Online Review Site Launches For 2011
Sunday, November 13th, 2011Golf Lessons Online – Will They Work For Me? The All New Golf Lesson Online Review Site Launches For 2011
Surprise, AZ (PRWEB) March 25, 2011
Don Stewart of http://golflessonsonlinereview.org is pleased to announce the 2011 launch of their review site with all new reviews of the latest and most popular golf lessons online programs.
Ah, late March and people in the northern hemisphere are finally starting to see grass poking through the snow. While March Madness college basketball is still dominating the airwaves, golfers know that the Masters Golf Tournament is just around the corner. This means once again that golfers everywhere promise themselves that this is the year for that little extra work to improve the golf game and lower those scores.
But how to improve? Obviously golf lessons from a certified PGA teaching professional are undoubtedly the best solution. They can look at grip, setup, and swing and then give constructive advice and specific solutions with drills to repeat so that the quality of our golf actually starts to resemble something that might not turn Phil Mickelson’s stomach. Having taken lessons previously it was obvious to see how patient and skilled the golf instructor was, even though the teaching Pro was sure he could get this student to replicate the smooth swing of Ernie Els (which it seemed would be akin to Joe Pesci having the lead role in Casablanca).
Not having the good fortune of being from a Sunbelt state meant that every year golfers from northern climates seemed to have to start from scratch and relearn all of the lessons and hard work of the previous year. By about June every year the game seemed to be back in shape but just three short months later September came and suddenly the cooler autumn weather seemed to cool off the golf enthusiasm even faster. An option is to take lessons every year but time and to some extent money dictate that this isn’t always a practical option. That’s why many golfers do what comes naturally to everyone in this age of the internet-self help via golf lessons online!
That’s where the reviews come in at http://golflessonsonlinereview.org. Unbiased reports are done by a reviewer who has more than 3 decades experience in the golfing industry and has been reviewing golf instruction and improvement aids for over 15 years. Looking back at one of the first golf improvement programs our group reviewed, was a series of audio tapes from a well respected sports psychologist who had a number of members of the PGA Tour as clients. As good as it may have been, let’s just say his voice was so monotone and rhythmic that after about 5 minutes he may as well have been singing Brahm’s lullaby. Since the intention was to multitask by listening to the audio tapes while driving, it actually became a bit dangerous and the decision was made to finally pull the plug on the good doctor.
The quantity of online golf lesson programs has increased more than 100 fold in the last 15 years and the volume of product available in 2011 seems to know no bounds (just like a golf ball which also knows no bounds!) In fact, as a professional review site http://golflessonsonlinereview.org had to limit the number of products reviewed to about 60 of the most popular golf lessons online programs for the 2011 season. The way the reviews are done is quite simple-our reviewer will buy the product, use it, and decide whether it does what it claims and gives good value for the money spent. The one common factor with the products of 15 years ago is that there is still a lot of poor quality items that people will try to sell you. (Yes it’s the internet-what a shock!) After hand picking about 60 products to review there are still only 10 or 12 that are recommended, and even among those some are only really good for certain levels of golfer. There are some real gems though for all aspects of the game and almost all of them are less than $ 100; most are in the $ 25-50 range and if they provide quality training and instruction at those price points they are definitely worth consideration.
So for all you hardcore golfers or weekend warriors, the best advice if you really want to improve your game is to get some help. Talk to the teaching professional at your course about lessons, work on your flexibility and fitness. And if you want to try some golf lessons online, visit http://golflessonsonlinereview.org to get some honest and unbiased advice on the best values in golf instruction.

David Leadbetter Teams with UPMC to Launch The David Leadbetter Golf Fitness Lab
Wednesday, October 26th, 2011David Leadbetter Teams with UPMC to Launch The David Leadbetter Golf Fitness Lab
ChampionsGate, FL (PRWEB) October 12, 2006
David Leadbetter Enterprises announced today a partnership with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) that will allow David Leadbetter Golf to offer comprehensive fitness analysis and improvement programs through their world-class golf instruction academies.
The first Leadbetter Golf Fitness Lab will be located at the David Leadbetter Golf Academy World Headquarters in ChampionsGate, Florida and will include a staff clinician and technicians trained and certified by UPMC. It will use state-of-the-art golf simulators and swing analysis instrumentation, with results focused on improving a golfer’s balance, strength and flexibility.
“Increased balance, strength and flexibility are vital elements for anyone looking to improve or maintain their game,” said David Leadbetter, the world’s leading golf instructor. “UPMC’s vast experience, built upon the research conducted by the University of Pittsburgh, in using biomechanical data to analyze a golfer’s fitness level and create customized conditioning programs will allow our academies to offer a more comprehensive game improvement program that can benefit every golfer from tour pro to weekend enthusiast.”
Through the Golf Fitness Lab initiative, the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC have studied more than 600 golfers and 5,000 golf swings to identify fitness and conditioning variables that affect golf performance, while developing a fitness program that has been proven to prevent injury and increase performance by an average of 10 percent, or 20 yards in driving distance. UPMC has licensed this technology from the University of Pittsburgh for commercial use.
“We’re excited about the synergies between David’s rigorous, high-quality instruction and our medically based, scientifically validated approach to performance enhancement and injury prevention,” said Scott Lephart, Ph.D., A.T.C., Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Sports Medicine and Nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS). He is also director of the SHRS’s Neuromuscular Research Laboratory (NMRL).
Based on years of sports medicine research data and its leading work in golf injury prevention, the University researchers at the NMRL collaborated with UPMC to create the Golf Fitness Lab in 2004 to provide scientifically proven golf assessment, conditioning and injury prevention.
About The David Leadbetter Golf Academy
Delivering a philosophy which is flexible to golfers of all ages and abilities, the David Leadbetter Golf Academy offers first rate golf instruction and a top class service to every standard of golfer, world-wide.
David Leadbetter is recognized as the leading golf instructor in the world. His teaching theories and methods have revolutionized the game and his influence on all levels of golf is unparalleled. Often associated with his contribution to the successes of Nick Faldo, David continues to work with the world’s leading golfers, most notably Ernie Els, Michelle Wie, Charles Howell III, Trevor Immelman, Ian Poulter and Nick Dougherty.
The same principles taught to these top professionals are equally as applicable to complete beginners as well as high and low handicap amateur golfers. In establishing the David Leadbetter Golf Academy (DLGA), David has personally overseen the training of world class instructors to communicate the Leadbetter philosophy to people of all ages and abilities.
DLGA has now developed into a network of Golf Academies spanning Europe, USA and Asia – and has evolved as a truly exceptional global facility. There are currently 30 Academy locations across the world.
