JAIME BARCENA ANGULO

About the coach

I'm a golf professional who has dedicated over 20 years to the craft of teaching, and improvement is at the heart of everything I do. My journey in golf began as a competitive player — I had the privilege of playing at a professional level, mainly in the Spanish Professional Tour, including appearance on the European Challenge Tour, before making the deliberate choice to channel my passion for the game into coaching. In 2004, I joined the Jim McLean Golf Schools, one of the world's most respected teaching organisations, and that experience shaped my entire philosophy as an instructor. I became a specialist in golf video analysis — a discipline that transformed the way I teach and the results I deliver for my students. Using detailed video review and precisely targeted drills, I give every golfer a clear picture of their swing and a structured path to improvement. I'm based at Calanova Golf Club in Mijas Costa, on Spain's beautiful Costa del Sol, where I lead what has been described as one of the most attractive golf schools in Europe with 5vstar rating. Over the years I've worked with students of every age and ability — from total beginners to competitive players — and the diversity of that experience has made me a more effective and adaptable coach. I also hail from Seve Ballesteros's hometown, so the game of golf is truly in my roots. If you're serious about improving, I'm serious about getting you there.
