What people are saying.

  • "I started lessons with James a few years ago as a total beginner and I am now a 15 hcp. James was great at helping me understand what I needed to work on and why it was important. The technology he uses is also great for backing that up."

    — Josh Enticott, 15hcp

  • "Got back into golf after a 30 year break and was struggling with a 25hcp, so I decided to see James for some lessons. After finding a number of faults in my swing we started to work hard in these areas. Just over a year later I am now playing off an 8hcp. I still have a long way to reach my goals but I will continue to use James as my coach because he is easy to understand and is very professional in his teaching methods."

    — Tim Gray, 8hcp

  • “James' coaching is fantastic. He is clear, concise and backs this up with data. I have worked with James for the past two years and my handicap has fallen from 10 to 4."

    — Ben Dudman, 4hcp

  • "James’ style is extremely warm and approachable. He has a particular nack at identifying the elements you need to focus on, explaining them really simply and giving you great motivation as you practise and improve. We felt like we made a lot of progress in 6 lessons and enjoyed it so much that we have signed up for another 6 lessons."

    — Mark & Claire Holdsworth, Social golfers

I'd recommend James to anyone looking to improve their game."

Having heard his coaching spoken of very highly by multiple golfers, I booked some lessons with him and it was clear right from the start that James has a great ability to find the right way of teaching and explaining himself to each student.
