Hi, I’m James Whittemore
I’ve been part of Wellingborough Golf Club since 2008, progressing from assistant professional to my current role as Head Coach.
My purpose and passion is to help golfers develop their game in a way that’s meaningful, enjoyable, and lasting. I’ve been running performance-based coaching programs at WGC for many years — always built around what you, the golfer, need most.
I believe every player is unique. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and my coaching is designed to meet you where you are — adapting to your goals, physical needs, and lifestyle.
Your coaching experience takes place across a range of first-class facilities, including a state-of-the-art indoor performance studio, a grassed practice ground, a fully equipped short game area, and on-course sessions focused on game management and strategy — ensuring every lesson is as realistic and game-related as possible.
To give you the best experience, I combine these facilities with modern technology and proven coaching methods, staying up to date through CPD courses, peer learning, and the latest tools with foresight sports technology, high-speed video analysis, and performance tracking.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced player striving to take your game further, I’ll help you build confidence, clarity, and a plan that works for you.
Where will lessons take place?
Sessions will take place at Wellingborough Golf Club at either The Slips practice ground, our indoor studio, or playing lessons and ground sessions on the course. You do not need to be a WGC member to sign up for my performance plans.
For outdoor coaching at the slips, I have a HD camera system which highlights the qualities and flaws of your swing. Combined with my expertise it is a perfect combination to get the most out of your game.
At the indoor performance studio we use GC2 Simulator software & C Swing systems for video analysis, with a two camera system for capturing ‘down the line’ & ‘side on.’ The GC2 gives you on-ball data the indoor studio as a whole is a fantastic facility giving me the best of both worlds with the two coaching facilities in place.
