Quality Golf Instruction for All Ages and Skill Levels
GOLF INSTRUCTION
WHO: Christian Golf Leadership (CGL) offers quality golf instruction for boys and girls of all skill levels - ages 7 to 15.
WHAT: When signing-up your child for CGL Events, he/she will receive a Welcome Packet which includes a CGL T-Shirt & Hat, along with a WGB practice kit.
April, May, June, and July events will be structured around the annual Drive, Chip & Putt competition held in Augusta, GA for Junior Golfers ages 7-15 and is open to qualifying. Please see links below for more information:

Each event will provide a series of stations designed to provide players with the skills, mindset, and focus to help them get the most out of golf. Also, our focus is to help each child build confidence in the three areas that we believe are most important: a relationship with God, relationships with each other, and a relationship with their community.
Our golf instruction is based on two philosophies:
- David Leadbetter Golf Instruction
- Lanny Basham’s book “With Winning in Mind”
- Subconscious Mind: Build skill set through drills and repetition.
- Conscious Mind: Build solid routine that helps to focus on one task and stay in the present.
- Self-Image: Positive affirmations that are based on God’s promises, and dedication to carrying out a practice plan and repetition of daily fundamentals which support a confident thought.
*There is a maximum of 16 children per event.

Mission Statement
Christian Golf Leadership provides quality golf instruction for young people in the East Valley - (Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, etc.) and the Phoenix Metro area of Arizona.
Classes feature a low student-to-instructor ratio, enabling golfers to build confidence in putting, chipping, and full swing, as well as learn the rules and etiquette of golf in a safe setting.
Our goal is to create an atmosphere that is not only fun, but also leans towards learning leadership skills and being mindful of others. Our staff holds to Christian values and a portion of each transaction goes to helping those in need.
Our Staff

(Player, Instructor, Coach, Inventor, Entrepreneur, Golf Manufacturer & Grandfather)
Will has over 30 years of full-time teaching experience working with elite junior players and their families, helping them to develop their talent and navigate the testy waters of collegiate and professional golf.
His experience includes serving as an Associate Instructor with the first ever David Leadbetter Golf Academy at Lake Nona Golf Club from 1990 to 1996, and became the Director of Junior Golf Instruction, and was instrumental in forming the first ever David Leadbetter Junior Golf Academy in Bradenton, FL, now known as the IMG Sports Academy.
