About James

I am a PGA Associate with over 20 years of experience in the game of golf, from club repair and custom fitting to instruction and player development. My journey began with a passion for building and fine-tuning equipment, which naturally expanded into teaching and coaching golfers of all skill levels.

As an instructor, I focus on helping each student unlock their potential through clear fundamentals, personalized improvement plans, and an emphasis on making the game more enjoyable. Whether you are new to golf, a junior looking to build a strong foundation, or an experienced player preparing for competitive play, I bring a patient, encouraging, and detail-oriented approach.

I believe golf is more than just a sport it’s a pathway to lifelong learning, confidence, and enjoyment. My goal is to provide every student with the tools they need to improve their game and have more fun on the course.
