Teaching Philosophy
I help golfers of every ability play better golf through personalised coaching that’s simple to understand and proven to work. Whether your goal is breaking 100, breaking 80 or competing at an elite level, every lesson is built specifically around your swing and your goals—not generic YouTube tips.
About the coach
About Me
Hi, I’m David Leathem.
I’m a PGA Professional, former Challenge Tour player, former NCAA Division I golfer at the University of South Alabama, and TrackMan Level 1 & 2 Certified coach.
I’ve delivered thousands of online lessons to golfers around the world and have earned hundreds of five-star reviews by helping players of every ability build better golf swings and shoot lower scores.
Whether your goal is to break 100, break 80, gain more distance or compete at an elite level, my coaching is built entirely around your swing, your goals and your game.
My coaching philosophy is simple:
Golf is already difficult enough. I believe improvement comes from making the swing easier to understand, giving you clear priorities and helping you practise with purpose—not filling your head with technical jargon.
Every lesson is completely personalised and includes detailed swing analysis, voice-over feedback, slow-motion breakdowns, on-screen annotations, personalised demonstration videos and easy-to-follow practice drills designed specifically for you.
If you choose one of my coaching programmes, I’ll work with you every step of the way. As your swing improves, your coaching evolves too. You’ll receive updated feedback, fresh practice plans and ongoing support to make sure you’re always working on the right things at the right time.
My goal isn’t just to help you hit better golf shots—it’s to help you become a more confident golfer who understands your own swing and knows exactly how to improve.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start making real progress, I’d love to help you reach your golfing goals.
