Mike
James was awesome to work with! His questions and suggestions made me, a casual golfer, feel confident knowing I was getting advice from a pro. Fantastic service. Thanks again James!
Chris
I've had a tough time finding the right set of clubs specifically due to my freakishly long arms measuring 6'4 despite my height only being 5'11. James was able to walk me through his logic behind picking the right length and also was super knowledgeable about all the tradeoffs when it came to club size & style. Highly recommend him and there's no question about his expertise in the game of golf. Thanks again!
Paxton
Easy to talk to and great to work with. Appreciate all of the expertise.
James
James gave me great options to choose from through multiple fittings. He responded promptly and adapted accordingly to my requests, which led me to get a Driver, Hybrid, and set of wedges. He was always willing to check in and make sure everything felt good, and the results were visible using his Rapsodo.

James’ patience and knowledge of the equipment I wanted/needed were instrumental during my fittings and led to a great club choice. Looking forward to some great times on the course.
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI love to start with the basics. It can be a comprehensive fitting covering the whole bag, or we can focus on the fundamentals of one or two clubs.
Lesson 11+At this point, we should be establishing a pattern and honing in on one or two aspects of your game. I will be more than comfortable going out and playing rounds with you to demonstrate how specific shots pertain to specific situations!
Lesson 4-10By this section of lessons, we will have assembled a list, narrowed it down to one or two aspects to focus on, and have finalized a plan to hone and improve upon your skills.
Lesson 2-3Using a variance of technology, along with the P-System, I will address a plethora of options and opportunities to improve your game. Whether it be positioning, your mental game, or all around support from a professional, I will work with you to compile a list of what you want to work on.
What you need to bringBring your bag! I always want to see what you’re using, and perhaps provide additional support with the clubs you’re using. We can always talk about specifics after we determine a lesson plan.
What I can bringI supply fitting irons from TaylorMade and Callaway in a variety of flexes and weights. I also bring my bag as a model for a standard set, and to showcase specific shots pertaining to the lesson.
