GOLFTEC | Greenville

I’ve been wanting to clean up my golf swing for a while, and taking lessons with Derek was exactly what I needed. He broke down my swing mechanics in a way that actually made sense — no confusing jargon, just clear, practical adjustments I could feel working right away. Within just a few sessions, my swing felt more consistent and repeatable, and I started seeing real improvement out on the course. Derek is patient, encouraging, and clearly knows how to tailor his coaching to each student. If you’re looking to seriously improve your game, I can’t recommend him enough. Five stars all around.

At age 67, I never had formal training/instruction for golf although I played the game all over the country and even the world since I was 20. Rather, I had accumulated a massive collection of tips, suggestions, fixes, demos, emulations, "specialized" equipment and a litany of new revelations/inventions to apply to "my game". Results were always temporary, highly variable and often counterproductive, leading to frustration and confusion, especially at critical moments like during my backswing, standing over a putt, positioning myself and the club for an "easy" chip, and.....on and on. I had achieved "true hacker" status. Yay! Unfortunately at age 64, I had a a lower right leg amputation and was fitted with a prosthetic, a very pivital, life altering event that would certainly end my path to golf glory. However, rather than surrender to my new found fate, I determined that my best path to recovery was to fully engage in golf practice at local driving range facilities as my physical therapy regiment, mainly to regain balance and control - Far better than stretching large rubber bands and lifting dumbells at home, although I did both. I was extremely fortunate to find and hire PGA certified instructors willing to work with me as I gradually and surely regained my balance and control by swinging golf clubs and eventually reaching all of my targets. It was quite a journey and it continues to this day. Earlier this year I visited a local Golftec office Pelham Rd in Greenville, SC., located in an obscure building at an obscure location. I met, interviewed and contracted with Greg Malone for a 40 session package after doing a 90 minute swing analysis. I wanted to "dump" all of the how- to jumble in my head and start from the ground up with one consistent approach by one certified instructor. It worked! I am about 75% complete with my instruction and never have I hit the ball as well as I do now. I now play golf 2-4 times per week and delight in my advances in golf swing, contact, ball flight, distance, accuracy and scoring. I still have room to improve so I still take 1 lesson per week and hit at least 100 balls 3 times per week at the local range plus chipping & putting practice. Golftec's methodology, state -of -the- art technical studios/bays with video recording, playback & statistical info display and instructor Greg Malone have made a gigantic difference in my game and my overall well being. I even completed a bucket list item with my brother by playing 5 of Scotland's most prestigeos and challenging courses in early June. Not possible had I not discovered Golftec and it's rewards. Thank you a thousand times! Barry P.

Great experience with a club fitting done by Drew. Highly recommend!

Traveled 2.5 hours to get fitted by Drew, and it was well worth the trip. He was awesome to work with and didn't push any specific brands on me. He just wanted to find what felt the best and gave me the performance improvements that made sense for my game.I ended up purchasing directly from Callaway because their military discount and trade-in bonus on the Quantum Max saved me about $600 at the time of purchase

Drew Lawton - Deep knowledge, attention to detail, sincere desire to help. Many suggestions proving useful near term.
