MEET NATHAN

Nathan Leonhardt teacher of the year.png

Nathan is from Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, minutes from downtown Vancouver. He graduated with a 3.8 GPA in Business Management from Johnson & Wales University in North Miami, FL. He was the captain of the men's golf team, which was continually ranked as one of the top-5 NAIA teams in the nation since the program began years ago by the late Coach Dave Adamonis.

     

Nathan only started playing golf in 2002 and by 2011 he was qualified to play on the Canadian Professional Golf Tour! In no time he made a name for himself by winning Amateur, Collegiate and Professional tournaments, and was continually seen at the top of leaderboards.

 

After high school, Nathan took two years off from school to practice before accepting a scholarship from Northwood University in Dallas, TX. He then transferred to Arizona State University where he took his golf game to a higher level. Looking for one last opportunity to travel and compete in university golf, he transferred to Johnson & Wales University in Florida. At JWU, Nathan was honored as the 'Athlete of the Year' two years in a row!

 

Nathan turned professional in 2011 and immediately qualified for the Canadian Professional Golf Tour. He played three full seasons on the newly owned and operated, PGA Tour Canada. He then qualified and played in China on the PGA Tour China. Find out more about his experiences in China by clicking HERE to view his Blog.

 

Nathan has now transitioned into teaching and coaching golfers of all levels, from professional Tour players all the way down to people just learning to play for the first time. Nathan has had juniors finish inside the top-10 in the World Championships multiple times. With his great resume as a golfer, he is able to bring his skills as a player to help high level athletes compete on the big stage.
