Private Lessons & Coaches in Boise, ID

The Heart of the Game For me, golf is more than just a sport; it's a profound journey of self-discovery, and unlocking potential is my absolute passion. As a former Division I athlete, I know the fire, the focus, and the grit it takes to perform at the next level. I carry that experience and deep understanding into every lesson I teach while still meeting my students where they're at in their skills journey. For the past seven years, I've walked the fairways and driving ranges as an instructor, guiding players to find the best version of their swing — and themselves. Three of those years were spent in a role that truly defined my purpose, serving with First Tee International's Idaho Chapter. There, I didn't just teach the mechanics of the game; I mentored. I had the privilege of working with players as young as 8 and as mature as 58, proving that the desire to learn and grow knows no age limit. My commitment is to move beyond the technical with you. I offer expert guidance that is deeply tailored to your unique goals, whether you're a junior looking for a college scholarship or an adult seeking that elusive handicap breakthrough. If you're ready to not only refine your skills and elevate your game but to truly connect with the joy, the challenge, and the satisfaction that golf can bring, let's start that journey together. Play well, Jim

"Jim’s Golf Instruction – The Ultimate Swing Shortcut Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) If you are a golfer who suffers from "paralysis by analysis" the second you stand over the ball, you need to book a session with Jim. For years, my backswing was a chaotic mess of moving parts. I was constantly worrying about my takeaway, my elbow position, and whether my clubface was open or shut. Jim completely stripped away that mental clutter with one single, revolutionary adjustment: the 45-degree wrist hinge before the takeaway. Instead of trying to find the right plane mid-swing, Jim teaches you to pre-set it. By establishing that 45-degree hinge right at the start, the club finds its perfect plane automatically as you rotate. Here is why this specific instruction changed my game:  Zero Unnecessary Manipulations: Because the club is already locked on the correct plane, you don't have to make any mid-swing compensations to fix a bad takeaway.  Goodbye, Paralyzing Swing Thoughts: It reduces a dozen complex geometric cues into one simple, physical feel. You set the wrists, turn your shoulders, and let it rip.  Incredible Consistency: Striking the ball cleanly became a habit rather than an accident. My ball-striking has never felt this effortless. Jim doesn't just give you generic tips; he gives you a repeatable, bulletproof system. If you want to stop thinking about the mechanics of your swing and start actually playing golf, Jim's 45-degree hinge technique is worth every penny.
