Golftec lessons

Has any beginner tried the Golftec lessons? How would you compare this with a traditional coach?

I am a golf hacker but immensely enjoy my time on the course. I am trying to improve my skills and also get my wife interested in golfing. Instead of trying to get traditional coaching lessons, I am wondering if it would be a good start to go to a golftec location. Has anyone tried this and how does this compare with a traditional coach?

I took several lessons at Golftec after deciding to get back into the game. When I started up I had played maybe 5 rounds of golf in the previous 8-9 years.
It has helped me focus and improve on all aspects of my game, starting with the basics of my swing.
Golftec still uses traditional coaching/instruction, but it is combined with video feedback that you can access online after your lesson.
The coaches are PGA certified professionals who know how to teach.
One drawback is the cost. The lessons are very good, but can get kind of expensive. They do run a few specials throughout the year, though.
All in all, I highly recommend them.
