Coming back home he was head Pro at Clober Golf Club from 2003 - 2007. James took a break from golf for a few years then Peter Thomson recruited him in 2014 and he has worked alongside him for the last 9 years becoming Head Professional when Peter retired in 2023.

He has coached the Ladies Renfrewshire Team and the Renfrewshire Boys Squad. He is also instrumental in ongoing coaching to the Erskine Junior Girls & Boys who’s numbers have increased in recent years. The Erskine Ladies and Gents teams often have pre season coaching to get ready for the golfing year ahead.
