AboutLeah
Leadbetter Kids Golf "Coach of the Year 2020"
Personal Profile
Qualified PGA Professional since 2016 based at Bletchingley GC, Surrey, England. I have great passion for teaching the game of golf for all ages and abilities and apply a friendly, outgoing, relaxed approach to teaching in order to make learning golf more fun!
I am the Lead Surrey County Coach for the U15 Girls Squad which fills me with great pride as I get to coach some of the youngest talent that is coming through the game.
In addition to all of this, in July 2020 I became a certified Leadbetter Kids coach and set up my own Leadbetter Kids junior academy at Bletchingley GC alongside my own company for tiny tots, Pea Wea Golf.
Coaching Awards
In 2014 I was lucky enough to be awarded the ‘Surrey Sports Coach of the Year’ award for my efforts for introducing more juniors and ladies into the game.
More recently due to my continuous commitment to helping kids get into golf, especially during the testing times during lockdown, on 27th January 2021 David Leadbetter himself and the Leadbetter family awarded me the first ever Leadbetter Kids Golf 'Coach of the Year' award.
I hope you enjoy learning more about me, Leadbetter Kids and all other coaching I provide. Please check out my videos on the website and visit my social media platforms to see more tips to help improve your game.

Testimonials
"Awesome to recognise Leah for her achievements over the last year or so, especially during lockdown. Her passion for coaching children is matched by her desire to learn and develop her own skills, whilst also impassioning fellow coaches and those around her.
When we do eventually get back to normal, the kids and families at Bletchingley Golf Club will be blessed with one of the best young kids' coaches in the country!'
Gavin Grenville-Wood
Head of Leadbetter Kids Education
"Leah you are just the most amazing and inspiring coach and a genuinely lovely person.
Your patience is unbounded and your kindness to both my children marks you out as a special person who always has time for people.
I only wish I had had a coach like you when I was a kid and maybe I would have fallen in love with golf earlier.
Well deserved and a high benchmark for others to try and meet.
