About

James Whitaker, PGA

PGA Professional at Oulton Hall Academy — building better golfers, one clear fix at a time.

The Method

One Clear Fix.
Not Twenty.

Most golf coaching overwhelms you with too many swing thoughts, conflicting advice, and no clear path to improvement.

My approach is different. I believe golf is complicated enough. You don't need more information—you need clarity.

The Philosophy

My recovery was never about fixing everything at once — it was about one day, one exercise, one victory at a time. That is where this method comes from.

How It Works

Identify The Issue

No guesswork. I use Trackman data, high-speed video, and my experience to identify the single most important thing holding your game back.

One Clear Fix

Not twenty swing thoughts. One simple, actionable instruction you can immediately apply. Something that sticks and actually works.

Practice SMART

Not just drills. A structured practice plan that builds muscle memory and makes the fix stick under pressure.

Progress, Not Perfection

One day, one fix, one victory at a time. Measurable, visible progress that builds confidence and momentum.

The Result?

Golfers go from overwhelmed to focused. Confused to clear. Stuck to progress. And it happens faster than you think.

The Story

One Clear Fix
Came From Somewhere

The method did not come from a manual. It came from rebuilding a life and a swing one day, one thing at a time — and then coaching other golfers the same way. The full story has its own page now, alongside the events I'm bringing to Leeds next year.
