Wanted to give a shout out to Ari Saldana who’s helped me with my ball striking and consistency.
Overall I really enjoy practicing at GolfTec. I’m a data driven person and it’s nice to get instant feedback while practicing (and not to mention you don’t have to face the houston heat while doing so).
GolfTec was also very accommodating and extended my membership when I suffered a major injury and couldn’t play for an extended period. That was much appreciated.

Big thumbs up to Golftec Upper Kirby and instructor Doug Strawbridge! As someone who came into the lessons with a wicked over-the-top swing, I was blown away by how Doug was able to overhaul my swing in just a few lessons. He clearly knows the game inside and out, and he has a fantastic ability to assess a golfer's abilities and figure out exactly what they need to work on.
One thing I particularly appreciated about Doug's instruction was how well he knew how much I could absorb and practice between lessons. He never overloaded me with too much information, and he always made sure that I left each session with a clear understanding of what I needed to focus on in my practice.
During the sessions themselves, Doug's instruction was always focused and to the point. He gave clear, concise feedback on my swing, and he could step back from the technology to sketch the reasoning behind his advice on the whiteboard.

I started coming to GolfTEC Upper Kirby about 2 years ago and can't recommend it enough. All of the guys are not only knowledgeable about the game, but great people as well. I've been taking from Doug Strawbridge. When we started, I was about a 10 handicap. Since, I've gone on to break par for the first time and have lowered my handicap down to a 3. Being able to see my swing on video instantly as well as the different numbers captured by their monitors has really helped my understanding of the golf swing. If you want to get better, this is the place to go.
Frequently Asked Questions About GOLFTEC Upper Kirby
Why do I need a Swing Evaluation
The Swing Evaluation gives both Coach and student a clear visual and numerical baseline for both indicating where improvement is necessary and measuring the improvement. We highly recommend the Swing Evaluation for every student, from beginner to competitive player. It allows us to understand your current swing and goals and helps determine the right lesson plan for you.
Are your lessons expensive?
Prices vary by the lesson plan, features included, and region, but they are highly competitive with teaching professionals in each area. However, each GOLFTEC Student will start with a Swing Evaluation which is $150.
Do you teach beginners?
We love teaching golfers who are just picking up the sport! Our coaches understand the unique needs of beginners and know how to make their sessions comfortable and enjoyable.
Can I take lessons at any location?
Absolutely! Your Coach will be able to help you find another Center and Coach. You can also use any GOLFTEC location when you are traveling.
Can I take lessons outdoors?
On-course instruction on specific shots and course management are a great complement to in-bay swing lessons and are offered at most locations.
Will you change my swing?
Changes to your swing may be necessary given your specific golfing problems and goals. We begin with your current swing and work on adjustments to make it more effective and productive.
Does GOLFTEC sell clubs?
Yes. We will order clubs based on your TECFIT club fitting or your specifications if you choose not to have a fitting. With our large buying power and relationships with leading manufacturers, we can sell custom clubs for the same price that you would pay for off-the-rack clubs at many retailers.
How is your club fitting different from others?
Our TECFIT club fitting system provides a precision, agnostic fitting experience. All GOLFTEC Certified Fitters use our advanced launch monitor technology to measure your unique launch conditions. While most other fitters stop there, we utilize our proprietary equipment database of thousands of club/shaft combinations to identify the perfect club configuration to optimize performance based on your swing. Clubs fit and built to your unique swing DNA will lead to greater consistency, distance, and confidence on the golf course.
