James. Simply put, James is an outstanding instructor. I have a lot of bad golf habits, and am very stubborn and thick headed trying to keep those habits. I have defeated previous instructors. James has broken through to me and in minutes got me on the the right track. Only 4 x 30 minutes lessons later and I am super amped about actually hitting the ball like they do on TV š . I can't wait to see what will happen after 25 lessons.

As a beginner golfer that had developed some bad initial habits, James helped me breakdown my swing into its most basic components and helped build my form to the point I can now confidently play golf with my husband and keep score. Great job of constructive, pointed instruction without making you feel embarrassed. I always left feeling empowered and excited to practice what Iād learned!

I got back into golfing after retiring and saw myself struggling with my swing and follow through. I began with 10 lessons and saw great improvement. I made the investment of lessons for 12 months. This was the best decision for overall consistency! I would recommend getting on your game now!

As someone who hadn't ever taken lessons before, my game has improved massively since starting here. My instructor, James, has gone above and beyond and has helped me build a strong foundation for your swing. The before and after videos are pretty crazy to look at now after just a year of lessons!

Had a good time getting fitted for my Ping Driver and 3-Wood. Jacob took him time with me in trying various heads and shafts. It cam down to a Ping G440 Max and a Taylormade QI35 Max. While the TM was a little longer (5 yards) with better ball speed, I like the efficiency (smash factor) of the Ping better.
Jacob was very patient and provide enough information and enough time for me to pick my driver and 3-wood.
