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
PGA Professional & Former Challenge Tour Player | Your Golf Coach in Your Pocket
Golf is already difficult enough. My job is to make your golf easier to understand and give you a clear plan for improvement.
I’m David Leathem, a PGA Professional and former European Challenge Tour player, with 3,500+ online lessons delivered and 450+ five-star reviews on Skillest.
My coaching philosophy is simple:
Identify the problem → explain why it’s happening → show you exactly how to fix it → give you a plan to practise it.
More than just an online golf lesson
When I analyse your swing, I don’t just tell you what you’re doing wrong.
I’ll show you exactly what I want you to work on, using personalised video feedback, demonstrations, drills and feels so you can understand both what the change should look like and how to actually make it happen.
But the biggest advantage of ongoing online coaching is what happens after the lesson.
You don’t have to go away and practise on your own, hoping you’re doing it correctly.
You can send your swing back to me while you’re practising, and I’ll give you feedback on whether you’re making the change correctly and what you should focus on next.
That creates a continuous coaching feedback loop:
Analyse → Demonstrate → Practise → Send it back → Get feedback → Adjust → Improve.
That’s how we turn a swing change from something you understand into something you can actually take onto the golf course.
What we can work on
Depending on your goals, we can work on:
* Driver and iron swing
* Ball striking and consistency
* Distance and speed
* Short game and putting
* Course management
* Practice routines and drills
* Equipment and club setup
* On-course performance
Whether you’re trying to break 100, get into single figures, shoot under par or simply enjoy your golf more, we’ll build your coaching around your swing, your goals and your game.
What you get with my coaching
With my Skillest coaching plans, you get more than a swing analysis.
You get a PGA Professional who can see your swing, show you what to do, help you practise it and then check that you’re doing it correctly.
Clear feedback. Personalised demonstrations. A plan to follow. Continuous feedback as you improve.
Want to see what I’d work on in your swing?
Follow me on Skillest and send me your swing for a FREE analysis.
I’ll personally look at your swing, explain the biggest priority I see and show you where I’d start.

Very clearly communicated instructions throughout. Small changes made a big difference and the use of the detailed video replays gave me a much better understanding of my swing. Thank you
