A Richmond golf coach is launching his own academy later this month, complete with demos and giveaways.
Nathan Leonhardt is hosting the grand opening of his Tour Development Academy, on Sunday, April 30, on the second floor of the Savage Creek Driving Range on No. 6 Road.
Former Canadian tour professional Leonhardt, who was named the BC PGA’s 2022 Teacher of the Year, has constructed a hi-tech academy at the new facility.
He told the Richmond News that, through the use of large garage doors, “we have the ability to use the academy as indoor simulators during the cold months and open the doors up to hit out into the driving range for the rest of the year.”
Leonhardt said that the academy has “all the top of the line technologies. Being at Savage Creek we have the ability to do short game lessons as well as playing lessons, all on one property.”
He added that the academy is set up to help golfers of all abilities and has taught professional tour players, all the way down to people just learning to play for the first time.
The fun kicks off at 11 a.m. on April 30. For more information, go to https://www.tdagolf.ca/.
