David Kostyal | Certified Golf Instructor at GOLFTEC

ABOUT

Started playing golf when I was 11 years old and fell in love with the game. Played college golf at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and was a 2-time Academic All American. Also, I was a teaching Professional for a little bit at Duplin CC in North Carolina. Played professional on various small professional tours before hanging the clubs up to work in Finance for 4 years. While working in Finance I also competed in some World Long Drive events. After assessing my career I wanted to go back to what I love and am so glad GOLFTEC gave me the opportunity to teach.

"I've loved my time at Golftec! All of their instructors are so friendly and knowledgeable. You have to put in the work to progress, but this is the part I enjoy. Golftec isn't a quick fix for a bad swing, they focus on the fundamentals of building a good golf swing from the ground up!"
