David Lee

Golf Instructor / Father of Gravity Golf

Greenville, South Carolina

In any type of profession, there are individuals who are not always in the spotlight, but who are very well-known and recognized by the insiders of that profession, as being the most reliable sources of information and guidance.

They are the voices of authority who the very best in that business or field of study often turn to for guidance and inspiration. They are the pro’s pros. The trusted advisors. The "Yodas" who have the wisdom, earned over many years, necessary to tell successful people what they are doing wrong, and how fix it.

Over the past 40 years, David Lee has earned that reputation and that level of respect in the world of golf. But don’t take my word for it. Here are some quotes from three golfing legends:

  • Lee Trevino once said that “David Lee would be the only guy I trust.”chi-chi-testimonial-300x277.jpg
  • Jack Nicklaus gave his personal endorsement and full support for David’s unique teaching method...which David calls "Gravity Golf."


Here are just a few highlight’s of David’s career.

  • He’s been named as a Top 100 Golf Instructor 12 times by Golf Magazine
  • He played on the PGA Tour for 4 years, before an injury forced him to leave
  • He has worked with more than 30 well-known PGA Tour professionals
  • In addition to writing a book of his own, he’s been featured on ESPN, in Golf Digest, Golf Week and Golf Magazine
  • He is the founder of Gravity Golf Schools, which have taken players from beginner to competitive level golf in one year
  • And if that’s not enough, David is a featured speaker at all types of event, including three neuroscience conventions
  • In fact, David’s extensive studies in physics and physiology nearly led to his nomination for a Nobel prize in both of those scientific disciples.


Based on his unique swing theory, David and his son Daniel continue to conduct Gravity Golf schools around the country, and offer a wide range of in-person and online instruction.
