Success Story — Hilary

James has been my golf coach for many years, during which time my game and swing has improved immensely. In addition to lessons on the driving range and invaluable 9 hole playing lessons, James has given me a tailored exercise training plan to help improve the flexibility in my upper body, and provided lots of advice on the mental side of the game.

James is passionate about his coaching and seeing his clients improve. As I’m not particularly technical, James always looks for new ways to explain things to me and finds practice drills to help me understand, as well as continually focusing on remembering how it feels during different elements of the swing.

Last year James used Trackman in my lessons, which I found not only fascinating, but extremely useful. The Trackman images of the club path and angles were a great visual representation and helped me grasp many of the technical aspects about my swing and the resulting shot. As my swing started to change and improve, it was really rewarding to see this evident in the Trackman images and stats. James uploaded my lesson notes onto the CoachNow app which was also great, as it means they’re always there for easy reference during practice sessions.

Thanks to James’s coaching, the change to my game over the last couple of years has been particularly noticeable, and last year I had many compliments about my swing. I was so pleased when in 2020 I got my handicap reduced from 26 to 22. With James’s continued coaching and help, my aim is to get it even lower in 2021!
