The undisputed world leader in golf improvement opens a second location in Vancouver. Plans include 40 locations across Canada.
Vancouver, BC – July 12, 2011. GolfTEC Canada today announced plans to utilize their highly-effective approach to golf instruction at locations across Canada. As the undisputed world leader in golf improvement, GolfTEC Canada’s vision is to dramatically improve the capability of Canadian golfers, from weekend amateurs to tour professionals.

GolfTEC is the only golf instruction company that utilizes the five factors needed for lasting golf improvement: Fact-based Diagnosis, Sequential Lessons, Video-based Practice, Advanced Retention Tools, and Precision-matched Clubs. The GolfTEC Proven Path has helped golfers of all ages and ability levels play better, more rewarding golf.
“We take great pride in producing consistent improvement results for our clients,” said James Suttie, Chairman of GolfTEC Canada. “Our Proven Path approach provides access to the best teaching, practicing, fitting and retention tools, and as a result, we deliver a consistent 95% success rate for clients.

Canada has the second highest participation rate, but lowest tour performance in the world rankings of the top eighteen countries. A 2006 Ipsos Reid Study reported that over 21% of Canadians over the age of 12 had participated in golf within the last year. This number is more than double the participation level in the United States.
“It’s time for more Canadian golfers to have access to the tools and coaching needed to increase their performance,” said Dean Larsen, General Manager GolfTEC Canada. “Our mission is clear…raise the level of play in Canada and increase our presence on the Professional Tours.”

Shooting a back nine 11 under 25 on his way to victory at the RBC Insurance Alberta Open. GolfTEC Canada’s sponsorship of Kureluk provides him with the opportunity to gain more experience through competition and attend PGA Tour Qualifying School.
