Of all Colorado’s contributions to golf, GOLFTEC ranks as perhaps the most globally influential. From its beginnings in the basement of Cherry Hills Country Club in 1995, the Englewood-based company now operates nearly 200 corporate-owned and franchised golf-instruction and club-fitting centers in North America and Asia. Its 700 certified coaches have provided more than 8 million lessons, boasting a 95 percent success rate and an average score reduction of seven strokes.
