Leslie Andrews- Co-Director of Instruction

 

Leslie is a Class A Teaching Professional, and has been a member of the LPGA since 2002. As Co-Director of Instruction, she assists in overseeing all instruction and program development at Randall's Island Golf Center.

Leslie began playing golf at the ripe old age of 30, and having done so, is especially adept at helping players adopt the game “post-childhood.”   She is particularly attuned to the challenges of learning as an adult – thinking too much, balancing golf instruction with a full-time job, trying to improve when you can only play on weekends.

 

Leslie has trained to help you with all your golf needs and is available for private lessons, group instruction, playing lessons or corporate events.

 

Her accomplishments include:

• Class A certified Professional from the LPGA Teaching Education Program

• Frankly Putting Certified Putting Instructor

• Henry Griffitts Certified Clubfitter

• Voted Best Golf Instructor on Long Island in 2012 and 2013

• Served as Executive Director of LPGA Teaching & Club Professionals

Golf is a second career for Leslie, following a successful career in business.  Leslie was a senior executive with ESPN, first as a Director of Integrated Marketing where she spearheaded ESPN’s foray into owned and operated properties, and then as head of marketing at ESPN.com.  While in business, she experienced first-hand the value of playing golf for business and ultimately shifted gears into the golf industry with a goal of helping others learn to play golf and to use golf for as a business tool.

Since entering the golf industry in 2002, Leslie has been hired by clients such as Harvard Business School, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Financial Women’s Association, The Wharton School, 85 Broads, and others, to help train their executives to utilize this invaluable tool.  In 2009, she was recruited by the LPGA to serve as the Executive Director of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professionals to develop a new strategic vision and plan for the LPGA teaching division.

 

Leslie is also the author of Even Par:  How Golf Helps Women Gain the Upper Hand in Business, a critically acclaimed first book which quickly established itself as the go-to resource for helping women get “on course” for business.

Leslie grew up in New England and graduated from Wellesley in 1982, where she was a three-sport varsity athlete.  She received her MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
