Courses
Every course. Honest. No ranking deals.
Ask anything — James will give you the full picture, not a brochure.
Fashion
“The clothes do the work. I just show up.”
High fashion is not practical and you do not need it. Stick to the classics and you cannot go wrong. The slightest bit of personalisation makes you stand out.
Equipment
Carry less. Play better.
Most of what you think you need, you do not. The right bag, one good pair of shoes, and a few things that actually earn their weight.
A British pub may look informal but it runs on strict rules — from invisible queues to round-buying, tipping and last orders. Essential reading before your first post-round pint in Scotland or Ireland.
