For many years, he was golf's best kept secret, hugely respected by a select group of tournament professionals but unknown to the golf world at large. Now he is the best known teacher in the world and everyone with a fat wallet and a thin talent is chasing him for his secret. He does not have one of those either. He is an adept diagnostician and has a profound knowledge of the golf swing as do many. What sets him apart is his genius for communication.
Most golf instruction is conducted in gibberish jargon.
Small wonder why student's eyes glaze over. I don't think David Leadbetter even cares if his students understand the effect of centripetal force on clubhead acceleration. He gets them hitting the ball further and straighter just by telling them what to do in simple and graphic terms. When he gets you hitting them flush off the screws, he gets an even bigger charge of satisfaction than you do. That enthusiasm and gift of communication illuminates every page of the books you will see in his Collection and every frame of every video.
