Gilchrist Changes Addresses; Wie's Future Affected?

Tuesday July 20, 2004
Gary Gilchrist, a contributor to About.com Golf and Michelle Wie's instructor, has changed addresses. Gilchrist has left his position as director of the David Leadbetter Golf Academy to join the International Junior Golf Academy. An article on the Golf Magazine Web site goes into details about how this move might affect the future of Michelle Wie, who has also been working with Leadbetter at his Titleist-affiliate academy. Gilchrist's new home, IJGA, is affiliated with Nike. The article is a good read, with great insight into the behind-the-scenes ramifications. Meanwhile, we offer our congratulations to our friend Gary, who is one of the nicest people in the golf instruction field, and one of the most talented. He'll surely turn IJGA into a formidable competitor to DLGA.
