About the coach

Golf doesn't have to be complicated.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting swing advice, struggled to take your range game onto the course, or found yourself making the same mistakes over and over again, you're not alone.

My coaching is built around one simple philosophy:

Simple coaching. Lasting improvement.

My job isn't to fill your head with technical thoughts. It's to help you understand your swing, create the right feels, and build movements you can trust under pressure.

Every golfer is different, so every coaching plan is tailored specifically to you. Whether your goal is to break 100, shoot in the 70s, or compete at an elite level, together we'll build a clear roadmap that gives you confidence in your game.

I've been fortunate to coach golfers from over 40 countries and founded Need Golf, recently recognised as England's No.1 Golf Facility. But what I'm most proud of is helping golfers enjoy the game more because they finally understand it.

If you'd like to experience my coaching, start with a FREE Swing Review. I'll personally analyse your swing, explain what's holding you back, and show you exactly where I'd begin.

I look forward to helping you play your best golf.

Thank you James for a great review, that was a couple of faults I could see in my swing but didn't know how to fix them. I'll go and work on that and then be back for a online lesson soon

Frequently asked questions

What is an online golf lesson?

An online golf lesson is a way of learning golf skills and techniques from a coach or instructor through the internet, using video analysis, live coaching, or online courses. On Skillest, you can get private instruction with an elite golf coach without even leaving your home. Just record your golf swing and send it to your coach, along with any goals, questions, or other information that will help your coach create the right plan for you.

What are the benefits of an online lesson using Skillest?

Online golf lessons using Skillest offer many benefits, such as convenience, affordability, flexibility, and access to the largest selection of the most talented golf coaches in one place. Through video recordings, side by side comparisons, and conversations you have with your coach, you will receive comprehensive feedback on what you need to improve and how to improve these areas. When you get a lesson on Skillest, you don’t need to schedule a time or drive to your lesson. You can just record your swing and message your coach whenever you have questions.

How do I receive feedback from my coach?

You will receive feedback from your coach through the Skillest app. Your coach will record their own videos with their analysis as well as additional drills to work on and send them back to you inside the lesson. You can watch your coach’s analysis, which may include video, audio, text, or drawings and see the changes and improvements they suggest for your swing. You can also ask your coach follow-up questions you have, and chat with them through the app. You can also review your feedback and track your progress anytime on the app.

What are the different types of lesson plans I can purchase?

Skillest offers a variety of plans and packages available for purchase. You can purchase a single online lesson, lesson packages, monthly subscriptions, or live Zoom lessons. Many coaches also offer video-based courses in addition to one-on-one coaching. Note: Not every coach will offer each type of lesson plan available.

What are Courses?

Courses are a series of instructional videos created by expert coaches that cover a wide range of sport-specific topics. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, master strategy, boost your fitness, or enhance your mental game, our courses are designed to help you excel in your chosen sport—be it golf, swimming, cricket, basketball, or baseball.
