I want to share my experience in training at GolfTec Carmel with both Ryan Schrecongost and Bryan Greer.
After playing baseball my entire life, through high school and college, I was very superstitious and never played golf during baseball season - which was year around. When I would play golf, I'd shot high 80s - low 90s.
When I graduated from college in 2013, that's when I hung up the baseball cleats and picked my clubs back up full time. I had a few lessons with another golf pro at another golf club, didn't really get much out of it except working on tempo... In May of 2014, I actually shot my first hole in one, so that was cool.
After my hole-in-one, I got "Golf Fever" - I kept thinking to myself, I want to make a career out of this. But in my eyes, I was a few years behind - the reason being I never played golf in high school and I never played in college. I was already behind - in my game, in lessons, playing in tournaments.
Then one day I was watching Golf Channel and a commercial came on for GolfTec, I thought to myself I should go check it out. I live right up the street from there. So I jumped in the car and headed on up. That's when I met Ryan. Told him about me, he showed me around the place - and I told him I'd come back.
After having wrist surgery in December of 2014, I was hesitant and pushing to get back golfing. I took my Dad over to GolfTec and Ryan talked to both of us in detail on how everything works. My Dad was sold and wanted to do it.
So now we can fast forward to March 6th - I started GolfTec with a 18 handicap. It was time to get in and swing away! I had my swing analysis with Ryan and before I left we were already work on things. I had a golf tournament coming up at the end of May - and that was the goal we were working towards.
My schedule at GolfTec was turning me into the ultimate "GolfTec Student". I would have a lesson either on Monday or Tuesday, I would go back in and practice either Wednesday or Thursday, and only work Monday - Thursday, I would play golf Friday - Sunday (Looking to always play at least twice a week). That's a lot of golf and that's a lot of swings!
Working up to the a tournament in May with the schedule above - I WON the tournament. So I was flying sky high and wanted to learn and do whatever was going to make me better.
By May - I was shooting in the 70s
July - I shot my first par 72, and I shot my first under par 69
Now - I am a 2 handicap and shooting 72-75.
Things were going so great, I've actually become great friends with my GolfTec coaches, both Ryan and Bryan, outside of GolfTec. I played in a golf outing with Bryan towards the end of the season last year and we actually won. It was awesome to be able to play and see how they play outside of GolfTec.
Going into 2016, I am buying more lessons with GolfTec - I have started working with a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) instructor, I am joining my first golf club, and I am now playing in 5 Indiana Golf / PGA Events through Indiana.
GolfTec has truly helped my game tremendously! I am thankful that both Bryan and Ryan have worked with me for this year, through the good times and the bad... Believe me, I had a couple bad times playing golf haha.
I would recommend GolfTec to ANYONE at ANY AGE! I saw a kid, maybe 12 years old, maybe young, getting a swing analysis with Ryan and the first thing I said was I wish I knew about GolfTec at that age. I'm 25!
Bring on 2016! Give GolfTec a call!
