🎙️ Episode 86 | Read It Roll Podcast with Gaz James – Welsh National Coach ⛳

In this episode of the Read It Roll Podcast, I sit down with Gaz James, one of Wales’ leading golf coaches and current Welsh National Coach, to unpack an incredible coaching journey.

Gaz shares his story from working as an assistant professional in North Wales to reaching the very top of the coaching ladder. We dive into how he developed players at every stage — including the fascinating journey of taking a golfer from complete beginner at 12 years old to tour-level player.

This is a brilliant, honest conversation packed with:

🔴 Elite junior development

🔴 Long-term player pathways

🔴 Coaching philosophy at national level

🔴 Real insight into what it takes to reach the tour

Gaz now works at Torque Golf, one of the UK’s most forward-thinking performance centres, using world-class technology to help golfers improve faster and smarter.

If you’re a golfer, coach, parent, or just obsessed with improvement — this episode is a must-listen.

From the fairways of Wellington College to captaining at St Andrews, playing on the Asian Tour, inspiring over 300 young golfers, and chasing the dream of qualifying for The Open — Freddie Edmonds has lived (and still lives) a truly inspiring golf journey.

We recorded this episode in the most iconic spot in golf — the Swilken Bridge — and for 31 magical minutes, we talked passion, perseverance, and what it really means to love the game.

🏌️ Dreams evolve.

🏌️ The journey matters.

🏌️ And sometimes, just sitting on a bridge at St Andrews can feel like winning it all.
