GOLFTEC Experiences Record Setting First Quarter
GOLFTEC – the world leader in golf lessons and premium club fittings – opened 2019 with the most successful first quarter in company history, providing over 250,000 golf lessons and increasing year-over-year merchandise sales by over 20 percent.
During this period, GOLFTEC opened five new or remodeled Training Centers, including its first location in China. The company taught its 9 millionth lesson in January, an area of the business that continues to thrive, as GOLFTEC Coaches taught over 10 percent more lessons in Q1 2019 than during the same period in 2018.
GOLFTEC’s club fitting program continues to be a widespread success, with year-over-year Q1 fittings up 40 percent. The TOUR-like fitting experience combines swing characteristics with ball flight data to help identify optimal golf equipment for each student. An array of clubhead/shaft options are available to perfectly match players of any skill level with the clubs that best meet their needs. Nearly 75 percent of all golfers who experience a GOLFTEC driver fitting gain an average of 25 yards over their previous equipment.
“Our momentum both domestically and internationally has picked up tremendous steam over the past year, and we’re showing no signs of slowing down,” says Joe Assell, Co-Founder and CEO of GOLFTEC. “What I’m most proud of is knowing we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of golfers improve, as our mission has always been to help people play better golf.”
