You’ve heard it. C’mon, be honest, you’ve heard that voice in your head. It’s the voice that seems to show up just in time to sabotage your success. We’ve all heard this unwelcome intruder and we’ve all been influenced by it but you don’t have to give in to it any more.

David Leadbetter (born 27 June 1952) is regularly ranked as the worlds leading golf instructor, originally from Worthing in England. He began his career on the European and Southern African tours, but had little success as a player.
