I have had the pleasure of working with Thomas Valdez weekly at GOLFTEC for the past 8+ years. It was a very positive and most importantly a fun experience in all respects. Thomas was always very patient with me as my golf coach while I managed to reduce my handicap from 30+/- to a 13+/-. I highly recommend Thomas as a coach at all levels to both men and/or ladies. I cannot say enough good things about Thomas as a person and coach.

Thomas Valdez was my coach for over 4 years. One thing I believe is that golf coaching should not be from a preconceived cookbook. Thomas takes this into account and structures his lessons based on your thought process and natural abilities. He breaks down the techniques of the different aspects of the swing so you can understand the process of learning the swing. He is a phenomenal listener. I feel most instructors just want you to come back time after time trying to have you follow a recipe to learn the technical aspects of teaching instruction. However, Thomas not only cares about what it takes to make you a successful golfer, but he also wants you to enjoy the game and the process of improving your game. I not only improved my golf swing but also more importantly, golf course management. I truly enjoyed the off conversations we have about other subjects during our time because it brings the process back to earth. I highly recommend anyone at any level to come see him.

During my freshman year of high school, I needed to find a golf coach. A family friend highly recommended Thomas. He put me in touch with him and I went to have my first lesson, which went very well. I learned a lot about my game and what I needed to fix, but every coach can teach you how to be better. The best way to truly learn and have fun is to find someone who you get along with and enjoy being around. That was Thomas for me, I loved every lesson, and we shared some great times on the course. On the golf side of things I got to a point where I never thought I would be, I learned how to truly play golf and hit consistent shots. Thomas is such an amazing golf coach, but better than that he is an amazing person and mentor. I am now a top five player on one the best high school golf teams in the State of Texas and am looking to further my career at the collegiate level. None of this would have been possible without Thomas.
