Lee Gauthier, PGA Professional has recently joined us after a long spell at Badgemoor G.C. You will see Lee in the clubhouse, and he is very happy to help anyone to improve their golf skills. To arrange a lesson with Lee, just phone him on 07780612599 or email: goat.pro@hotmail.co.uk Welcome to the Billingbear Family Lee.
Having competed at the highest level of amateur golf, Lee then spent our years on the PGA Europro Tour and other mini tours. He received golf coaching at county level, national level and the NCAA college system in the US. In this time Lee gained a lot of vital experience and has seen many different styles and methods of golf coaching. Lee is a fully qualified PGA golf professional and has coached all standards of golfer regularly for the last three years.
One of Lee’s areas of interest is golf biomechanics and preventing injury. He has a Paul CHEK fitness and weightlifting qualification which has increased his knowledge on movement patterns and training regimes.
Lee has put this knowledge into practice by increasing his swingspeed to a point where he qualified for and competed in the world long drive championship in 2013. Lee currently sits 4thon the European Long drivers order of merit for 2014 and is hoping to compete at the world champs again in October. This knowledge and experience makes him an expert in maximising power whilst keeping control.
Lee’s teaching philosophy
“I look to improve and refine what the golfer already has, paying close attention to the movement patterns within the golf swing. I do not believe that one method fits all, I believe in tailoring coaching to suit the individual.”
