Located at the prestigious Bay Club in the heart of Beijing, Leadbetter unveiled the state-of-the-art training facility alongside owner Zhu Rong Xing.

"I'm proud to continue developing golf around the world and especially in China. Through the network of Leadbetter Golf Academies, including our latest facility at the Bay Club in Beijing, and our academies in Shenzhen, we hope to provide a solid platform for Chinese golfers of all ages and abilities to improve.

It all comes down to teaching children sound fundamentals and learning to enjoy the game," said David Leadbetter.

"David has personally taught my two daughters in Florida for the last couple of years and I've seen the impact it has had on their development. David and his coaches are helping them to realize their potential. I wanted to offer that same level of instruction here in Beijing at the Bay Club. We have invested in providing our students the latest technology and training facilities with Leadbetter's world-class instruction. Our goal is to help all golfers improve but especially to develop the next generation of elite Chinese golfers," said Zhu Rong Xing, LGA Beijing Owner.

Leadbetter credits his success to the comprehensive certification program his instructors undertake.

"We place a great importance on providing Leadbetter Certified Instructors with the highest level of education across all aspects of the swing including technical, mental and physical to ensure the coaching they deliver is unmatched. I've personally spent time training the coaching team at LGA Beijing and I look forward to continuing their development," said David Leadbetter.

LGA Beijing will be lead by one of Leadbetter's most experienced instructors, Paul Aitken from England, and former PGA Tour player Larry Degenhart from the U.S.A.

"I'm extremely excited at the opportunity to bring the Leadbetter philosophy to this fabulous facility here at Bay Club.
