Did you <em>swear<\/em> that you would get serious about improving your golf game in 2013?\u00a0 If so, here&#8217;s a training program you can attend close to home.\u00a0 Just as Major League Baseball players head to sunny\u00a0climates for spring training along with PGA and LPGA Tour players revving up for the beginning of their golf seasons this month, you can head to one of 165 GolfTEC improvement centers in the U.S. and Canada, including 68 of them within Golfsmith stores.<\/p>\n<p>GolfTEC \u201cTraining Camp\u201d\u00a0begins with a complete swing evaluation by a GolfTEC Certified Personal Coach, all captured on video with sophisticated motion measurement technology. The information gathered is evaluated and followed\u00a0up with\u00a0a series of 10 private lessons inside specially equipped GolfTEC training bays.\u00a0 Then, 18 hours of video-based practice is worked into each golfer\u2019s individually programmed \u201cTraining Camp\u201d schedule.<\/p>\n<p>How does it work? Digital video motion and measurement identifies body positions\u00a0at 24 different\u00a0points\u00a0in the swing and is the key component in GolfTEC\u2019s proprietary g-SWING system.\u00a0 A simple color-coded display identifies swing flaws and\u00a0guides instructors where to\u00a0initiate and reinforce swing changes. Lessons don\u2019t end there: using the personalized, online Player Performance Center, students can review their\u00a0lessons\u2014including full video\u00a0along with\u00a0the coach\u2019s instructions\u2014at any time\u00a0via the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>GolfTEC has a 95 percent success rate among its students. All GolfTEC lessons are taught one-on-one in private, indoor bays that maximize the learning experience. GolfTEC utilizes proprietary teaching technology and the skills of its Certified Personal Coaches to help golfers improve their skillsets and increase enjoyment of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraining Camp\u201d is not for those who want to sit at\u00a0home dreaming of better golf while lounging on the couch, or even watching Tour golf on TV. \u00a0And it\u2019s not as simple as just taking a lesson; it will take real effort.\u00a0 Golfers who report to \u201cTraining Camp\u201d will see the difference \u2013 particularly on their scorecard, all season long. And the price is a very reasonable $879.\u00a0 New golf clubs promising miracles that never manifest themselves can be much more expensive;\u00a0 add to that the dozens of golf balls you lose &#8211; at about $50 or so a pop &#8211; and the expense is well worth it&#8230;..not to mention the accolades you&#8217;ll receive from your new status as King or Queen of the Greens.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a id=\"yui_3_7_2_1_1357224457177_3125\" href=\"http:\/\/www.golftec.com\/trainingcamp\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.golftec.com\/trainingcamp<\/a> or call 877\/446-5383.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"># # #<\/p>\n<p><strong>About GolfTEC<\/strong><br \/>\nThe global leader in high-tech golf improvement, GolfTEC gives more than 25% of all golf lessons in the U.S. annually\u00a0with a\u00a095% success rate among its students.
