Real Golfers, Real Improvements: Testimonials That Speak Volumes
Laurie Canter
I’ve been lucky to work with James on my short game for 3 years. He’s given me much more understanding of my traits and tendencies and has had a great effect on managing those in a practical way to help me get better. Improving short game is a real art, you have to blend good fundamentals and smart practise, to ensure you select the right shot under pressure. I still have lots to learn, but I am fortunate to be able to call on a mind like James, who I believe to be the best short game coach in the world.
Todd Clements
I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last 6 years with James, he’s not only made my short game one of my strengths but gave me an understanding that makes me feel comfortable in all situations. I feel very privileged to be able to learn from him.
Jim Bagley
Breakthrough! The one word to describe the results from James’s short-game clinic. My chipping got simplified and more effective, and my bunker play has improved immensely. Techniques from the clinic spill over to the swing in general. Looking forward to reconnecting with James soon.
John Walter
I was fortunate to have joined James for one of his short-game clinics and all I can say is that I was inspired by his genius! His level of knowledge is off the charts and his ability to convey his methods and demonstrate his creative genius with short game irons was awe-inspiring.
