- Michele Cook·
Great lesson with James, not played golf for 4 years and was really a pleasure to have such an informative helpful teacher. Looking forward to next lesson and reaching our goal! Thanks James
- Peter Johnson·
An enjoyable and informative lesson highlighting and helping me to address the issues with my game along with suggestions to improve my physical training relevant to my swing. Money and time well spent.
- Jamie Gibbons·
James assessed, diagnosed and rectified a couple of points. Great confidence builder and very personable. Thanks
- Bill Main·
Excellent lesson yet again James always seems to make the correct diagnosis and delivers a means to correct .
- Lee Cross·
Fitted for new clubs a few weeks ago, which I love, but a big change to what I had been used to. I needed a couple of tweaks to my swing to get confidence back, instead of worrying what to hit or where it will go, hopefully I can take that out on the course with me.
