GolfTEC Opens Retail Outlet in Las Vegas

Aug 08, 2007 by Shane Jensen

GolfTEC, the geniuses behind the popular PGA Certified indoor-golf instruction facilities have recently opened it's first retail and golf instruction outlet in in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Las Vegas outlet is owned by Ronald Memo a veteran of Las Vegas. In his excitement over the concept of GolfTEC and the quality of the golf instruction that will be offered in his first location, Memo plans to open two additional locations in the future to cover the entire Las Vegas Valley.

The new GolfTEC facility is located at the corner of Durango and Desert Inn, inside the Vons shopping center. As a GolfTEC "Premier" location, golfers looking to improve their swing, will be treated to a wide variety of services and products by GolfTEC. Located within the facility are three hitting bays and a practice putting area. This location features three instructors including Jim Shaw, Jeff Jones, PGA Professional and Timothy Hendry. Each of these qualified instructors have been trained in the GolfTEC method and attended the GTU training classes in Denver, Colorado.

All of the hitting bays are equipped with the harness training system that is critical to the GolfTEC system. While in the hitting bays the golfer can view their golf swing from two different angles. Once a golfer is familiar with the operation they can purchase practice time in one of the practice bays. This will enable the student to get immediate feedback without the presence of the golf instructor.

The outlet is able to host events or corporate group outings of 10 to 30 golfers. During these outings the group will have access to two bays and golf instructors for several hours. While waiting for your time slot, you can relax with other members of your group while partaking in catered fare or enjoy a variety of dvds on the two large screen televisions that are located in the lobby. Each member of the group, will be recorded with video available online through private group access.

In addition to the training facility at GolfTEC, golfers can take advantage of the "Club Fitting" area of the store. The Club Fitting area is used to determine the best equipment for you. Professional golf instructors are trained to assist you with grip size, shaft flex and head shape of the clubs that are right for you. The complex measuring equipment may not be familiar to most, but these professionals decipher the information quickly and easily. The retail outlet will eventually carry a full selection of the top brand equipment including Nike, Callaway and Taylor Made.
