Oliver is an excellent instructor. He is also a very nice guy, very easy to work with and has an immense knowledge of the golf swing
Great shape.
I took a golf lesson with Grey Gillian at GolfTEC Bunker Hills in Minnesota and chose not to continue due to the instructor's unprofessionalism, characterized by their failure to respond to emails and texts. I contacted GolfTEC's corporate office to demand a refund for the remaining lessons, and they assured me that they had escalated the issue to the instructor, manager, and regional manager. However, I have received no response from any of these parties. This lack of accountability is unacceptable, and as such, I strongly advise against engaging with GolfTEC's services.
Last winter I signed up for a 6 month program and being winter is here I wanted to share Pros and Cons for anyone who is considering GT
Pros -
Great Instructor and Technology - Oliver has a vast amount of knowledge and is generally a good guy (Not considering that he likes the wrong Primer League Team - COYS) The hitting bays themself where scheduled for refurbishment last summer so I do not know what improvement they are making but there where already great - the multi camera view is eye opening
Cons -
Scheduling - For me it is about a 30-40 minute drive to GT and sometimes the motivation to drive 40 to hit balls for 30 minutes was hard to come by - Also the lesson and practice times get filled up quickly and it can be hard to keep a pattern.
Clarity -
When they talk about lesson credits it is important to know they are 30 minutes. Oliver did recommend to set a 30 minute lesson followed by a 30 minutes practice session this worked well.
Managing Expectations -
I am not a good golfer and I went in looking for improvement and I do see improvements in many aspects I do feel that I am not the target market as this place is more geared to a 5-10 handicap becoming near scratch than a 20 handicap just looking to get lower and not get laughed at (as much)
Cost -
I can tell you that they do a yearly sale around August and I was able to take advantage of that but still it was about $1800 for me This included 15 lessons, "Unlimited" 30 minute practice sessions (Keep in mind it was had to find back to back) And a Club-fitting - I recently had one at PXG and I did not do the club fitting.
Conclusion
If I could go back to last August I woudl not have done this. It was a lot of money and there are other options like lessons at the Golf Dome in Maplewood that are more of a better choice for this Hack - I am hitting the ball better and have a lot more confidence but I think that came from just more playing an awareness that can be acquired for a lower price. Oliver was awesome but it was just not the right fit for me. If you are looking to get to single digits form a 10 and have the time and a GT close - it is a great fit but for the average golfer it might not be the right path.
