Welcome to Shanghai Silport David Leadbetter Golf Academy!

David Leadbetter is recognized as the The World’s #1 Golf Instructor. His teaching theories, methods and creative teaching techniques have revolutionized the game and his influence on all levels of golf is unparalleled.

Often associated with his contribution to the successes of Nick Faldo, David continues to work with the world’s leading golfers, most notably recently crowned Masters Champion Trevor Immelman, Order of Merit Winner Justin Rose, Ernie Els, Michelle Wie, Charles Howell III, Ian Poulter and Nick Dougherty.

David Leadbetter’s theories and philosophies on the golf swing are based on an effective method that is fundamentally simple and easy to repeat.  The cornerstone to this idea is in developing the correct co-ordination of all the muscles used in the swing motion to promote efficiency and consistency of movement. Critical to the DLGA formula is the selection and training of instructors in David Leadbetter’s teaching philosophy.

Each DLGA instructor completes an initial training period under David’s personal supervision. This is followed by a year of training under the guidance of an Academy Director where golf psychology, bio-mechanics, physiology, course management, equipment technology are studied in tandem with the fundamental Leadbetter teaching philosophy.

Through development of a range of practice drills and training aids which are skillfully applied to the needs of each individual student, the benefits and improvement gained from a David Leadbetter Instructional program continue long after its completion.
