A new GolfTEC training center has opened in Southlake to help duffers straighten their slices and handle their hooks.
The new 2,900-square-foot facility features four indoor training bays powered by TECSwing, using Foresight Sports simulators for lessons, club fitting, and practice. Each training bay is equipped with OptiMotion, a motion tracking innovation that “sets a new standard for how golf swings are measured and the way golf instruction is delivered,” according to the company.

Put off by your putting? The facility also has an indoor putting green with lessons utilizing TECPutt, a motion technology that analyzes face angle, loft, and path direction of putting strokes.
It’s the seventh Dallas-Fort Worth location for Colorado-based GolfTEC, which has over 220 facilities worldwide.
