Coaching Success James' new pupil, Brenda Chadwick, has seen immediate results after her first lesson with James!
She won the 13-hole Halloween Stableford on 3rd November with 26 points and reported that she could definitely see a difference in the distance she was getting!
Well done, Brenda!

Bubba's a Master! James has been fortunate to experience the talent of two-time Masters champion, Bubba Watson, first hand. In the Open Championship at Royal Lytham and St Annes, Bubba hit his tee shot on the par 4 13th into the semi-rough. James was by his ball with about 150 yards left to the flag. Bubba is one of the most care-free, natural golfers in the game, proven on this occasion when he selected his club when he was still 20 yards away from his ball. He walked to the ball, no practice swing, no real routine, and hit his shot 2 feet away from the flagstick! James preaches that his players have limited thoughts at address and play instinctive golf but that they prepare properly by having lessons, doing drills and practising correctly. |

Peter Conroy (this week's Player profile) took a leaf out of Bubba's book when he took a lesson with James one Saturday morning at 9am. At twenty-seven minutes past 9, Peter told James he was due on the tee at 9.30am. He left the studio, introduced himself to his playing partners, teed the ball up and succeeded in hitting the ball two feet away from the flag! All within three minutes! He came running in the studio to thank James for his lesson and subsequently booked more! There's a fine line between being focussed enough and concentrating too hard thus spoiling your game. How many of you, after realising you can't win or play to your handicap, relax and then finish the round well?! We all need a bit of Bubba in us!
