David Leadbetter joins The Thing About Golf to discuss reshaping golf instruction, transforming Nick Faldo’s swing, and building a global coaching, in an intriguing conversation with John Huggan.
Few people in any industry can claim to have altered the direction of that industry, but David Leadbetter is one.
When a playing career eluded him in the 1980s, he turned his mind and energies to coaching and from humble beginnings, has built one of the most recognisable golf instruction "brands" in the world.
But along the way, Leadbetter’s profile - and that of his successful clients - helped reshape the way golfers think about taking lessons, a change remaining in effect to this day. John Huggan sits down with Leadbetter to talk everything from his transformation of Nick Faldo’s swing, to the one player he never got to work with but wanted to.
