Excellent insights, not a cookie cutter instructor, customizes lesson based on individual

The best teacher! 2 weeks ago I was thinking about hanging it up and picking up pickle ball. Now I have confidence I’ve never had before. Incredible knowledge. James will most definitely help anyone get better.

Great session, thanks James!

I’m enjoying my golf lesson with James. He makes it fun and very interesting. Looking forward to my next lesson and getting on the golf course this summer. Thank you James!

Best instructor in Tampa Bay
Finally someone that help me fix my over the top slices

I had a tremendous experience with regard to my lesson yesterday. James is a gentleman and within 15 minutes had me striping the ball. Explanations were simple and not overly technical. The entire lesson was low key. Really my favorite lesson I've ever taken. James took what I did in my swing and enhanced it rather than an overhaul. I'll be back!!!

James recognizes my issues quickly and always gets me back on track. He has helped me bring my handicap index down from a 17.1 to 14.0.

I had a refresher lesson with James on February 25th, I had a issue with my swing, James was able to see what I was doing wrong and adjusted my swing to get me hitting the ball straighter and longer. I highly recommend James if you need a swing adjustment to strike the ball better and more consistently. Great resource for putting also.

James is amazing! Very patient, and explains the reasons for what he is coaching. I will be back!

I take regular lessons with James. Today we worked on my swing which was feeling a little off. It took just a few minutes for James to analyze my swing and make corrections. I saw a significant improvement in accuracy and distance. Enjoying the game again!

Great instructor! Very engaging, knowledgeable and focused! I noticed a significant difference in my golf game!

Makes the golf swing make sense!

My first lesson and I’m happy I was referred!

Had a great session with James today. He was very easy to work with and quickly identified my swing fault with the corrective action needed.

I greatly enjoyed my lesson with James. He quickly made me feel comfortable and offered meaningful changes to my swing that were easy to implement and that delivered immediate improvements in my game.

James has been a significant factor in my improvement over the past 12 months. He's able to find a way to help me understand what's happening with my body position, swing plane, speed, etc and relate it to me so I not only understand what he's saying, but also hear, feel and/or see it as well. I've dropped about 4 strokes off my index (15 to 11) and expect to drop more in the coming months. If you're teachable and willing to work, I highly recommend him.

James analyzed my swing and suggested corrections which helped immediately. Thanks James!

Excellent teacher. Great demeanor. Really understands the game !

James is a fantastic instructor, he has helped me lower my handicap and hit the ball higher and longer. I highly recommend him and enjoy my couple of lessons per month.

Thanks

I have known James for years and helps me with my golf game. He keeps things simple and love the video of your swing.

My game has improved immensely with James's help. Much improved swing and modified my swing to help my back issues. Very easy going. I have taken 10 lessons with him in the past year and l am enjoying golf again. Looking forward to continued improvement in my game with his help.

It always amazes me how in the first few minutes of the lesson, James has taught me something relevant! His techniques, easy manner, patience, knowledge, and coaching style in general makes it a pleasure to learn. Thank you, James!

Great lesson. Corrected 2 things I needed to improve.

Absolutely the best! James and I have a really good rapport now and my game is showing the improvement as a result. James’ coaching style is invaluable.

James is an awesome coach. I’ve had a ton of golf teachers who haven’t improved me at all. Since seeing James only a few times in last 12 months I’ve knocked 4 strokes off my handicap. Simple straightforward fixes.

2 sessions in and I can hit nice draws. Took my ugly swing and transformed it into a professional looking swing. Can hit the ball with my eyes closed now. (Literally)

Wonderful coach and very knowledgeable! He always keeps things fun and engaging. My son eagerly looks forward to his lessons and really looks up to Coach Kyle as a mentor. -Kathryn

James has an incredible combination of knowledge and expertise. His friendly demeanor makes every lesson a pleasure.

I took my first lesson with James today and couldn’t have been more happy that I did. I’ve heard great things about James and his teaching style and now I see why. James has a passion for helping people improve their game. He really knows how to make you understand what you are doing wrong and how to do it right. I learned so much about my swing in 30 minutes that I’m confident my game will be trending to the next level. I will definitely see him again, highly recommended!

James looks at all ways to improve your game.

Getting lessons from James is one of the best investments I have made. My nephew took lessons while he was playing competitive golf, so I knew James was a great instructor. However, actually seeing dramatic improvements in my own game really makes it fun. Plus, I have a 13yo son with autism that takes lessons with me, and James helps him and makes it great for both of us.

Put simply, James Kyle is the BEST golf instructor there is! I have been taking lessons from him for the past 4 years, and my golf game has steadily improved. He is incredibly insightful, able to understand exactly what aspect of your game and/or swing is holding you back. He has a knack for analyzing your swing, and then working on just the right thing that your golf game needs, at the right time, without giving you too much and overwhelming you. His lessons contain the perfect mix of observation, demonstration and video feedback to keep them interesting and valuable. Most importantly, he has a wonderful, easy going personality, making it truly enjoyable to spend time with him. As my game has improved, I have gained a tremendous amount of confidence thanks to James. Most importantly, I have thoroughly enjoyed the process!!

Great teaching! One lesson and I’m bombing my driver. Thank you

Couldn't hit the Driver for the last 20 years!... but after just 3 sessions with JK... Boom! Driver is now in the bag!

Always a productive high quality experience with James. He is very knowledgable and can adapt to your way of learning. Also great with fitting you for the right equipment to get the most from your swing.

Had a Lesson with James Yesterday and was in a terrible funk. Came out the day after and shot my new personal best. Shaved 15 strokes in one lesson. Highly recommend.

We need to give Jim an Honorary Doctorate because he is really a bona fide Sports Psychologist who easily figures out your mental and physical weaknesses (when it comes to Golf), and not only corrects them quickly but also teaches you the skills you need to be a better golfer in a compassionate and emphatic manner!

GO FOR IT!

Every time I have a lesson with James my game takes a quantum jump. His ability to see and suggest small changes that make a big difference is a superpower. It's one of the things that sets him apart from other coaches.

Here's another special skill that differentiates a genius coach from a great coach: He challenges my assumptions that have been unconsciously holding my game back. A few realizations about my mental game and some changes in course management have me consistently playing at a level that I thought it would take another year or two to achieve.

Not all “pros” are equal. Within the first 5 mins. I knew that James was going to be able to help, just by his approach.

The lesson couldn’t have gone better. The adjustments he made paid immediate dividends. I look forward to coming back and working on other areas of my game. Should’ve done it sooner.

Just a few minor adjustments - that REALLY took me outside my comfort zone - and it made all the difference in the WORLD. If you keep doing what you've always done, you will get what you have always gotten. Practice doesn't help - COACHING HELPS. James doesn't recreate you - just working with what you have - and it's AMAZING.

Further, straighter, chipping better and will continue to putt well. Plan on taking my game to a new low (Score that is)

You the MAN James.

James is a fantastic instructor who very easily identifies swing faults and communicates perfectly how to correct it. You’ll have immediate improvement to your game.

James is a fantastic coach because he works with you mind, not just your swing. He always helps me and finds just the right way to "fix" the problem.
I always enjoy my lessons with James, he is the best!

LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS GUY IS THE BEST!!!

James is not only the best coach I’ve ever worked with, but the best teacher I’ve ever had in general. He is insanely patient and has a great demeanor, you can’t help but feel relaxed around him. In an hour he completely broke down my swing, diagnosed my issues, and helped me build a much more stable swing. Overall my confidence has skyrocketed since working with him, I will definitely be back.

Had my first lesson today. Due to my own time constraints I could only do a 30 min sessions. He tweaked one thing in my swing path and I was hitting consistently straight immediately. He was very insightful and patient. Had a great time today. Looking forward to many more lessons.

Absolutely the BEST coach swing instructor in all of TAMPA BAY

I began working with James three years ago and have carried through with some basic lessons he provided me from then till now. After a two-year Covid break, I am back in the area and immediately scheduled three lessons with James. Within 15 minutes he had honed in on my inconsistency issue, provided video feedback, and set me on a course for much more consistent, solid shot making. I will continue to post reviews as my three lessons unfold. James is outstanding.

First lesson with James and I gained 30 yards on my irons as a 10 handicap. Nice to get a professional to look at my swing and get me back on track

My son (age 13, beginner/intermediate) and I (8 hcp) had an excellent day working with James Kyle. He provided clear, simple, and effective strategies for both of us to improve our putting and chipping. I was amazed at how quickly we saw improvement. In our next round, both of us putted better than we had before and feel very confident our success will continue. I think any level of player would really enjoy and benefit from working with James.

James is a pro's pro. He addresses all aspects of your game. Outstanding teacher, coach and professional.

Worked with James for 2 seasons. Went from an 18 to 10 HCP.

I had taken lessons with others and looked great on the range and couldn’t take it to the course.

Not with James; he does a great job of helping you understand the change you are working on, what benefit it brings and how to take it to the course.
