James Wood
Center Manager/Certified Coach/Certified Fitter/ADM Certified/WSET IIassociate
I first realized I was interested in golf instruction after taking lessons from Paul Girven at The Kings Links Golf Center in Aberdeen Scotland, before moving to the US in my early twenties. As fate would have it, I changed directions into the hospitality industry; where I thrived and was awarded for my endeavors in the craft cocktail and alcohol sales space, earning accolades from my peers in both.
As luck would have it, a pandemic upended my career, and so I had to rethink what came next.
In a little over two years, I have gone from a part-time pro shop attendant, to starting and expanding a fledgling instruction company, to becoming a Center Manager with GOLFTEC.
I love this industry and I get to truly say I do what I have wanted to do since I was nine years old when I got my first set of golf clubs. I work hard everyday to not only improve my own game, but also to learn as much as I can about teaching golf; The ultimate goal being, to give you a great lesson and help you improve.
