Former Gonzaga golfer hosts welcome party to show off new downtown facility
Spokane, Wash. (January 21, 2013) – The first GolfTEC Improvement Center east of the Cascades is hosting its “Grand Opening Celebration” on Saturday, Jan. 26, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Former Gonzaga University golfer Randy Potter, the GolfTEC Center’s owner and a Certified Personal Coach, is the official host of the welcoming party. Golfers and their friends are all invited to check out the center and take a tour, or an introductory lesson, and participate in a special contest.
Potter, a member of the PGA of America who worked at Spokane’s Hangman Valley Golf Course while in college, returns to the Spokane area after three years as head professional and general manager at Roseburg Country Club in Roseburg, Ore.
“We are looking forward to showing off our new technology at the facility,” said Potter, who is from Othello, Wash. “Golfers in the Spokane area have never had this kind of instruction available before.”
Guests at the GolfTEC Grand Opening Celebration also can sign up to win one of the following prizes:
• Complimentary Swing Evaluation & 5 Lessons
• Complimentary Swing Evaluation & 3 Lessons
• Complimentary Swing Evaluation & TaylorMade stand bag
Winners will be announced on the GolfTEC Spokane Facebook page.
“We are proud to be the first GolfTEC center to provide such a 360-degree game improvement center, which is available day and night – and the temperature is always perfect,” Potter said.
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 skills and increase enjoyment of the game.
The Spokane center is the first in the country with the proprietary g-SWING teaching software available to students when it opened its doors. The center also offers the new Foresight GC2 launch monitor and ball tracking system, combining technology and staff that will provide golfers in the Eastern Washington region year-round instruction, as well as club-fitting service and equipment analysis.
The 2,000 square foot facility, which features three teaching bays, is now open Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Spokane GolfTEC improvement center is at 1207 N. Washington St., Suite 2. Call (248) 429-1600, or visit the center’s website.
