About the coach
Taking on any and all Students! I was the assistant and was coached/mentored by PGA tour instructor George Gankas for 4 years ✅I also have worked and taught under Bryson Dechambeau’s junior coach Mike Schye. ✅ I have learned information from other coaches as well, and have done hours upon hours of my own study over the years to produce a coaching product that I believe in very much. ✅I’m knowledgeable and have worked with Trackman, gears, swing catalyst, and Sportsbox AI over the years, learning different numbers and concepts that help give better feedback to lessons that I have given. ✅ I played professionally for 5 years before shifting my focus more towards coaching. That gave me more knowledge in terms of the mental side of the game, learning how to handle the challenges/pressure of playing with the lead or a chance to win, and the ups and downs of playing professionally. ✅ Being as honest with me as you can about what your intentions/goals are will help me make a plan for you that you can stay on to improve over time. ✅ I like to dive into the root cause of problems and not give a simple, one size fits all fix. People learn different ways, and my goal is to help each individual person, even if the root cause and solutions may be different. ✅
I look forward to working with and helping as many people as I can!

When once asked who was the smartest person he knew, Albert Einstein quickly answered, my chauffeur. He went on to explain that his driver had heard hundreds of hours worth of his lectures and became so familiar with them, he was able to deliver a flawless presentation when Einstein fell ill just before an appearance. What does that have to do with Jake Ledbetter, you ask? Well, Jake spent years working under one of the most influential golf instructors of the past decade: George Gankas. Having followed GG since 2015, I was thrilled to find someone who had worked so closely for so long with one of the games greatsand who offered such a high level of instruction for such reasonable rates. One approach I like in particular is Jakes use of matchups. Instead of changing unique elements of my swing just to fit the most recent fad, Jake is helping me distinguish principles from preferences to build a pattern that matches my natural tendencies. In addition, Jake presents information in a way which continually elevates my understanding of both THE golf swing and MY golf swing. I am confident this process will produce a wonderfully functional swing that brings with it the added ability to be my own coach when adjustments are needed. I firmly believe that anyone looking for the real deal, need not look any further than Jake.
