About

I am a Teaching Profesional/PGA Apprentice at Simi Hills Golf Course. I have been playing competitive golf for ten years. As an amateur I won the San Clemente City Championship and three Simi Valley City Championships. I played collegiate golf at San Diego State on a golf scholarship. While at SDSU I won the WIU Carlton Oaks Invitational and two Mountain West Team Championships. I turned pro in 2016, medalling in the PGA playing ability test with a two round score of 5 under par. I also won the 2016 Thousand Oaks Professional Championship.

I really enjoy helping people learn or get better in the game of golf. Golf is a very hard sport, but with the right instruction it can be easier. I love sharing my knowledge and helping students enjoy and have more fun playing golf.

He gave me just what I needed. We overhauled my stance and ball placement and five other things that prevented me from swinging like I used to swing. A few more sessions and I will a golfer again. LJF

Golf is a very difficult sport for the beginner or the mediocre player. Without a good instructor, you have zero chance of ever being any good. James is the principal reason that, after 4 previous instructors, I am FINALLY making progress. The man really understands the golf swing and flat out knows how to teach. He is very adept at isolating and then showing you how to correct your swing flaws. His communication skills are excellent. He is very analytical. You will understand what youve been doing previously, why that didnt work and then exactly what you need to do fix the problem(s). His approach to teaching and his hands on methods and drills absolutely work. I cant say enough good things about James.

I am currently less than a 1 handicap and have known James for a while.I have been around the block so to speak when it comes to golf instruction. When he turned pro and started offering lessons I jumped at the oppurtunity. James is not only a very insightful instructor he is a magnificent player and has a tour pro game. James works well with adults and from what I have seen ,has a great demeanor with children. Whether you are a beginner looking to start out or a highly experiaced golfer James will have something valuable to add to your game.

For a new student I always go over the fundamentals of grip, stance and posture. A good golf swing is built on fundamentals.
