David Leadbetter Expands LGA Academy Locations to 40 Worldwide
ORLANDO, Fla. (October 16, 2018) – World-renowned golf coach, David Leadbetter, announced today that The Leadbetter Golf Academy (LGA) will be opening their thirteenth location in Asia. The academy is set to open within the prestigious Laguna National Golf and Country Club in November.
Leadbetter is thrilled to add another Asia academy to his list, having already opened successful academies throughout the continent. Leadbetter has been committed to growing golf in Asia – seeing an emerging market flourish, he looks forward to continuing to provide exceptional golf instruction throughout the world.
LGA, Singapore will be housed at Laguna National’s state-of-the-art Teaching and Practice Facility. The facility is home to 50 hitting bays spread out on two levels, a dedicated LGA zone where students can learn from Leadbetter’s top certified instructors and experience high-quality technology that the professionals use. Along with LGA’s dedicated zone, students will encounter a short game area with dedicated putting and chipping greens, a golf shop featuring the latest Titleist, TaylorMade and PING products, a café and locker room.
“I am excited to open LGA Singapore at the premier Laguna National. I have been to the facility many times for the European Tour’s Singapore Masters and LPGA’s ADT Caps Tour Championship and it really is an exceptional course. The course has recently gone through load of construction and it really is a must-see. From the two 18-hole championship courses to the dual-level facility holding 50 hitting bays, this location is a golfer’s dream.” – David Leadbetter
Stephen Moriarty has ambitious plans for LGA Singapore in the years to come. Combining his years of experience and world-class instruction with an exceptional facility.

This is truly a spectacular golf facility where students are able to receive world-class golf instruction enhanced by multiple leading golf technologies available in our state-of-the-art academy rooms which are the most modern in Asia. Academy students will also have access to a dedicated, exclusive short game area and two Championship courses on which they can further their practice and test their newly acquired skills. We will have a team of four highly qualified coaches in 2018 and plan to grow the team in 2019 as we expand the programs offered by the academy. We look forward to inspiring the next generation of Singaporean golfers with David’s beliefs and coaching philosophy.” – Stephen Moriarty, LGA Singapore Director of Instruction
