About the coach
Hi, I’m James - professional golfer, coach, and founder of Need Golf Centre, one of the Top 3 Golf Facilities in the UK (awarded by England Golf in 2025).
I have worked with golfers from over 40 different countries and am trusted by over 250,000 golfers following my social media channels known for it’s simple golf instruction, clear communication and feel and visual based approach.
After 25 years of my own golfing frustrations, I developed a simple, repeatable swing system breaking the golf swing into two core motions: the Body Motion & the Arms/Wrists Motion. Understanding these makes your swing feel effortless, consistent, enjoyable and much easier to learn.
I’ve worked with golfers from all over the world, helping them improve their game, lower their handicap, and play the golf they’re capable of. My coaching is focused on creating clarity for my students to see immediate improvement.
I have won 2 Global Toptracer Awards in the last 5 years, and I’ve been trusted to work with prestigious brands such as Porsche, Bentley, Toptracer, and Cobra & Puma Golf. With 6+ years of proven online coaching experience before joining Skillest, I’m excited to focus my skills on helping you to transform your game — so why not take advantage of a FREE Golf Swing Analysis so you can show you how much I can
No pressure — I just want to help you play your best golf 🏌️♂️

James was spot on with identifying my issues I need to work on and no app or person has before him. I look forward to getting more feedback and drills from him soon

James Need is the best golf instructor Ive found! Ive been obsessed with golf for the past year and watched hundreds of hours of swing videos, but no one explains the mechanics like James does. He has a great swing and the way he describes exactly how its supposed to feel clicked for me. The free swing analysis he gave was incredibly helpful! He nailed exactly where I was going wrong and gave simple, clear fixes that actually work. If youre serious about improving, James is the guy. Highly recommend!

Great I only wish I could go there and he can set me in the spots vs showing. Despite that he makes it really clear and easy to understand the concepts. Definitely plan to continue soon.
