About the coach

I’m David Leathem, a PGA Professional, TrackMan Certified coach, and former European Tour player with a lifelong passion for the game of golf. My journey has taken me from Northern Ireland to the United States, where I competed as a Division I athlete at the University of South Alabama and lived for nine years before returning home. Those experiences not only shaped me as a player but also gave me a deep understanding of what it takes to perform at a high level.

I’ve now been fortunate enough to teach over 3,000 golf lessons to players all around the world, building a reputation for clear, practical coaching that delivers results. My philosophy is simple: every golfer can improve with the right plan, accountability, and feedback. I know this personally — because even as a coach, I’m still on my own journey of improvement. I understand the grind of swing changes, the frustration of bad habits, and the satisfaction of breakthroughs. That empathy allows me to connect with golfers at every level, from beginners to aspiring professionals.

Through my Better Every Month online coaching plan, I provide what I like to call a “golf coach in your pocket.” Here’s how it works:
• We start by discussing your goals, ball flight tendencies, and current challenges.
• You send me your swing, and I do a deep-dive analysis to create your personal roadmap to improvement.
• I film detailed video demonstrations with specific drills tailored to you.
• You go practice, send feedback swings, and I provide coaching adjustments so you’re always on the right track.
• With unlimited lessons, ongoing feedback, and integration with Arccos shot tracking (I provide a free trial + free sensors), we can measure your progress using strokes gained and ensure we’re working on the areas that will actually lower your scores.

This isn’t a once-a-month lesson. It’s a continuous process with back-and-forth communication, unlimited support, and step-by-step guidance. Golf improvement is never a quick fix, but with a coach who’s been through the same journey and helped countless players worldwide, you’ll always know what to work on, why it matters, and how to do it correctly.

Whether your goal is breaking 100 for the first time, shooting par, or competing at the highest levels, I’m here to help you get there. With a proven system, years of professional playing and coaching experience, and a genuine passion for seeing golfers improve, I’ll work with you to unlock the best version of your game.

I now reside in Northern Ireland, coaching both locally and online, but thanks to today’s technology, I’m fortunate to work with golfers from every corner of the world. If you’re ready to take your game seriously, I’d love to help you on your journey.
