James Hardy
"I coach the way I compete. Precise, athletic and without wasted time."
James took up the game at 16 and was club champion within two years. A golf scholarship took him to Florida, where he became Florida State Champion and South East Champion, before qualifying as a PGA Professional. Twenty-five years later he is ranked No.1 in Europe and No.2 in the world, and plays on the international circuit.
