James had success as a junior playing at County Level before turning Professional in 2006. He attended University achieving a BA(Hons) Degree in Physical Education & Sport in 2005. After completing his degree James carried on his education by starting the PGA Foundation Degree Programme in 2006. As well as undertaking the PGA Degree James has tried to set himself aside of the pack by becoming an Authorised Instructor of The Golfing Machine. He is one of only a handful in the country and was the youngest person in the UK to achieve title of GSEB  (Golf Stroke Engineering Bachelor) 

James always wants to better himself as a coach and is continuing to become better educated in the teachings of the golf swing, in order to give the best information to his students. 

He has worked with players of all different abilities, ages, genders and is happy to coach one to one or in groups, from total novice to scratch players. James creates a teaching environment where pupils feel at ease and relaxed within the lessons but still gain top quality information. Maximising pupils performance is James's main priority as well as making sure they have a great understanding of their own game. 

James will not try to make you swing like anyone else but yourself and treats everyone as individual with different swing requirements. 

"There is no right or wrong way to swing a club. However, there are certain imperatives and essentials that players must adhere to in order to produce good quality golf shots"
