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

James really cleared up where I was going wrong from the beginning. I never knew where I was going wrong or how to correct what I was doing. James made it simple and clear, there was night and day difference in my swing as we progressed through the lesson, I can now see the ball actually lifting and going straight! thank you James!!

Ive had many coaches over the years and James is by a mile the best. Its the first time Ive used an online coach rather than in-person and I wasnt sure whether it would work. But Im improving every week with swing changes that feel intuitively better and manageable, rather than just being told to get in a position without really understanding why. I cant recommend James highly enough - awesome guy too
