GolfTEC Taps into Technology

DES PLAINES, IL (Jan. 4, 2002) - Technology has made most of our lives easier, if not busier. And although you probably haven't spent much time thinking about it, technology has even helped your golf game, in the form of balls that go farther, clubs that are lighter and more accurate, and other innovations. Now, thanks to GolfTEC, you can really use technology to help improve your game.
GolfTEC's lessons involve a flesh-and-blood instructor, of course, but also incorporate the latest technology, including biofeeback, to make your swing the best it can be. Clients are strapped into unobtrusive harnesses with sensors that measure the movement of your shoulders, hips, legs, and other body parts from your first movement through the end of the follow through. (Think of the commercials that have aired showing how video game makers reproduce athletes' movements.) The entire lesson is recorded on videotape, and once your swing is immortalized (for better or for worse), it can be quantitatively analyzed and compared to those of various golf professionals.
