Teaching Philosophy
Golfers usually don't need more information. They need to understand what's causing their bad shots and what to work on next. I explain cause and effect in plain English, demonstrate the change and give you drills that relate directly to your swing. We work on a few useful priorities rather than trying to change everything at once. There's no single model swing for everyone. We build an approach around you, check how it's progressing and adjust when needed, so every lesson moves your game forward.
About the coach
I'm Phil Leathem, a PGA Professional and full-time golf coach with more than 20 years of experience. I've delivered over 4,100 lessons here on Skillest, with a 5/5 rating from more than 600 ratings.
My job is to make complicated golf simple. I look at your swing, your ball flight and what you're trying to achieve, then explain what's causing the problem and what matters most to change it. You get personal demonstration videos, drills built around your pattern and a small number of clear practice priorities.
I coach the golfer in front of me. Your movement, any physical limitations and the time you realistically have to practise all shape the plan.
With ongoing coaching, we track your progress and build on each review, helping you take the changes from practice onto the course.
Start with a Single Online Lesson, or work with me through Performance or All Access Coaching. If you're considering ongoing coaching and aren't sure which option suits you, book a free 15-minute consultation and we'll have a chat about your game.
