Introduction to golf lessons coupled with the benefits of ongoing development from a trained professional.
“Can you say 'optimistic.' Well its how I feel after a series of lessons from Mr Powell. You totally understand me and my abilities. We worked at a pace equivalent to my game. This has been a pleasing experience. I don't mind spending big bucks on new clubs now, b/c Im certain on one thing, it'll be money well spent, similar to my lessons with you. Knocking 'em straight and bending the ball now too, never thought that was possible. But draws are now my go to (getting those much needed extra yards to be competitive at the club). Way to go James, please be free to share my words to hopefully help others. Appreciate ya!”

I felt there was ample time during the lesson, which let me really focus on specific areas like making my swing more natural, though I think more iron improvement is needed. It's encouraging to see such patience and attention to detail from James, and I might come back to work on those consistency issues. Still, I appreciated the relaxed pace, which made practice feel manageable and less stressful. If you're open to gradual progress with a calm, supportive approach, I’d consider trying James.

'I am grateful to James for helping my 10th grade HS kid with their golf instruction. They had aspirations to make the HS golf team (next year as a Junior). James worked with us for 20 sessions over 2 months; low and behold, they made the HS team. What makes us so appreciative, is my kid had only played recreational golf for a couple of years. So James' instruction coupled with my kid's desire, made it a success. If you have the chance to book with James, I suggest you do so'

There are various subtle changes that create huge differences in the game. Coach was able to see what was needed in my swing and helped with the changes. With a respectful, easy to follow instruction, I've lowered my handicap a few strokes in a very short period (3 lessons). But more so than the swing lesson, I learned about course management. This has assisted in minimizing double bogie 's. Which has been holding me back. Thank you sir.

I can't say enough good about my coach JP. He met me at a location away from his normal coaching golf courses. That was impressive. Things got better too. He allowed the use of his own extra set of clubs, left handed none the less. It's rare for someone to be as accommodating in this day and age. Oh and the lesson, super valuable. I'll be back for more.

“James was energetic and helpful. I was surprised he was able to help with loaner clubs. I most likely would not have took lessons without clubs being available. Fun time too.”
