Terre Blanche Announces Exclusive Clinic With David Leadbetter, The Most Famous Golf Instructor In The World

Terre Blanche

For the chance to be trained by the most famous golf coach in the world, experience the David Leadbetter programme at Terre Blanche from 22nd – 23rd September.

This exceptional programme begins with a welcome breakfast with David Leadbetter at the Albatros Golf Performance Centre, followed by a warm up session on the driving range,  filming of technique and Biomecaswing analysis according to each trainee's needs.

Following lunch at one of the hotel's four restaurants, Les Caroubiers, David Leadbetter and the tuition team focus on the trainee's swing at the training centre before pursuing work on the swing at the training centre as well as short game and putting. Leadbetter will follow this by giving the trainee a personal debriefing on improvements and goals, before gathering for a cocktail reception to discuss all things golf.

The tuition does not end when the clinic finishes. Leadbetter and his team aim to improve trainee's skills by sending a progression report with a video of the clinic, as well as personalised technical advice and a customised workout programme.

 'The opportunity to be coached by David Leadbetter himself is unique, and we are honoured to welcome him at the Albatros Golf Performance Centre in September.' Jean-Marie Casella, Director of Terre Blanche Golf.

TERRE BLANCHE HISTORY:

At the end of the 1990s, Dietmar Hopp discovered the exceptional landscape of Terre Blanche and fell in love with what was then a dreamlike plot of woodland from a project never completed. The avid golfer and entrepreneur had great vision for what the immense space could become. Today, the stunning location that is now Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort reflects the passion of Hopp's dream, whilst preserving the fragile balance of its natural surroundings. An environmentally aware and carefully built residential hotel and golf resort, Terre Blanche aspires not only to provide the upmost quality experience for its guests but also to enhance the economy and tourism of the region.
