About the coach

Welcome to The Tour Pivot.

James Ashby | PGA Professional & Short Game Specialist

Stop fighting your hands around the greens. If you struggle with chunks, skulls, or the dreaded "flicks" under pressure, it’s because you’ve been taught to rely on complex timing and multiple releases.
It’s time to stop guessing and start pivoting.

I’m James Ashby, and I’ve distilled the mechanics of the world's greatest short-game artists—legends like Pete Cowen, Brett Rumford, and Steve Stricker—into a single, universal engine: The Tour Pivot.

This is the exact same pattern my Tour-level students use to compete and win. We don't change your swing to hit different shots; we simply change your setup geometry.

Whether you face a tight 10-yard chip, a 50-yard pitch, or a high-lofted bunker shot, the engine stays exactly the same.
• No more flipping.
• No more deceleration.
• One move. Every shot. Total certainty.
How We Work:

As a PGA Professional and Hugh Marr Graduate, I don't just give you "tips." I install a world-class system into your DNA. Through crystal-clear video analysis, customized drill prescriptions, and 24/7 in-app access, I become the coach in your pocket.

I can truly feel Jamess passion when teaching. He wants to be present so bad, I can feel that as a student. It is very encouraging, knowing how much care he has into translating his coaching towards his students. Virtual lessons can be a challenge, articulating thoughts into a skill set. I cant imagine how hard it can be but while Coach does an amazing job
