ABOUT GERRY JAMES
Gerry James, PGA Professional
Whether you are one-on-one with him or following along on one of his instructional DVDs, the Center Force Golf System teaches the fusion of Power Golf and physical fitness. There are many gurus out there who teach the fundamentals of the golf swing. Some are excellent, and some are not. Gerry’s approach is different from the standpoint that if you can not physically move your body consistently, you can not consistently make the most efficient golf swing.
Gerry has coached numerous World Long Drive Champions including Womens World Long Champion Stacey Shinnick, World Long Drive Junior Champion Owen Hanson, as well as World Long Drive Open Champions Tim Burke and current raining World Long Drive Champion and Number One Ranked Long Drive Professional in the World, Justin James.
This is not to say that the short game is not important. You must be very good from 110 yards and in, no question about it. Gerry is an expert in coaching this element of the game. Excellent chipping, pitching and putting will lower your score quicker than anything. However, hitting the ball longer and straighter will not only improve your scoring considerably, but it will dramatically increase your overall enjoyment of the game.
