GOLFTEC Herndon

"I was completely blown off by this guy when asked about lessons. He told me it would take a least 18mo of lessons to be decent and not embarrass myself on a golf course. He was very dismissive and rude. Wouldn’t recommend."

"Been looking for a new golf instructor and also to buy a new set of clubs after selling my complete set to a friend. Stopped by this location today with my son to see how it is setup, ask some questions and see what equipment they have for sale. The representative working appeared to just start a lesson. Perhaps he was having a bad day, but I after stating that I just wanted check out the place, he stated "Well here it is". And after a quick couple of questions, I realized that I interrupted him and he had no time for me, which is fine. Poor customer service, I understand he was in the middle of something, but you shouldn't treat potential new customers in that manner. A simple, I am just starting a lesson, but would love to talk to you at another time would have been great, all I got was a curt "here's my card" and a 10 second description of what they provide, with an irritated look on his face. My apologies for stopping by when you were in the middle of a lesson. I went to another place and bought a complete new set of clubs from driver to putter."

"I highly recommend Clay Wentz and Herndon GolfTec. Clay is an outstanding teacher and the facilities/technology at the Herndon GolfTec are highly conducive to learning the game. Clay has facilitated great improvements in my golf swing. He has led me through the development of the swing, from the most basic components to higher level components. The sequence in which he has taught the swing and the timing in introducing new elements has been critical to my success. We work to develop a good level of proficiency at lower level skills then add in the next level(s). The result is an ever-improving swing that has, to date, lowered my handicap a dozen-plus strokes and added 15%-25% distance to each club. Clay’s deep understanding of the golf swing, his wealth of experience as an athletic instructor, his excellent communication skills and his preparation enable him to teach very effectively. Moreover, as we progress through the elements of the golf swing, Clay always has a drill and/or training aid that illustrates the motions/actions of that part of the swing. Through his instruction I’m really able to grasp and apply the concepts being taught whereas I have been unable to do so with other instructors. The Herndon GolfTec has excellent facilities in which to learn the golf swing. The lessons are held in private rooms with launch monitors and multi-angle video cameras. The launch monitors provide instant feedback while the videos enable detailed swing analysis; the combination have been integral to my development. As I apply the concept(s) of a lesson, I’m able to see the results through Clay’s video breakdown/analysis and through the metrics provided by the launch monitor. The GolfTec program also provides for the student to use these facilities for ninety minutes of practice time a week, which has been really helpful in learning and applying the concepts/skills being taught. I highly recommend Clay Wentz and Herndon GolfTec to anyone that wants to improve their golf game!"

"I have been working with John for almost a year now. I have dropped my handicap from a 25 to a consistent 11. John also did my driver fitting which was a great experience. He has been in the golf industry a long time and it has been a great match for me and my game. I look forward to our lessons."

"Had a fairway fitting that was a waste of time and $125. Finally zero'd in on the right club, and the final recommended club showed a custom shaft / head combination. The club that was ordered was the stock shaft and head for that model. Reached out for clarification for the disconnect and couldn't get a return call. I called back and then I was told that was final club combination and it was just a clerical error. When I asked for the numbers from the fitting session I was told that finding that would take 15 minutes and John was reluctant to do it. He finally agreed to do it. I never received the final numbers showing that this was the custom fitted club. Could have just walked into Golf Galaxy and bought the club off the rack. I won't be returning"
