Jeff Gotham, the Director of the Leadbetter Golf Academy at Cateechee, has been recognized by both PING and Titleist as an award-winning club fitter.

 

In 2018, Gotham and owners, Kelli and Charly Schell, partnered to construct a state-of-the-art indoor/outdoor golf teaching facility complete with 3D Swing Efficiency, by the Titlist Performance Institute and K-Vest.

 

Along with the Academy, Leadbetter and the Schells established the David Leadbetter Foundation at Cateechee. The Foundation is geared to improve life skills in underprivileged communities, by applying the discipline and focus learned through golf. 

 

“The Leadbetter Foundation has meaning far beyond our facility. The Leadbetter brand is globally recognized and the Foundation will have a global impact as part of the David Leadbetter legacy,” stated Kelli Schell.

 

Leadbetter Academies can be found at 36 locations in 14 countries, He added,

 

“The game of golf has provided me everything I could have imagined in life and more. My goal for the Foundation is to inspire people and provide an opportunity to succeed in life no matter their race, locale or background. We want to meet their needs and expand their horizons.”

 

Leadbetter takes an active role in the Foundation’s annual Leadbetter Tournament, held at Cateechee, the day after the Masters.
