Golf players who come to St.
Andrews are going to discover
Coach James Roberson, the
newest addition to the St. Andrews
Community. He’s currently listed
as a visiting faculty in Sport
Studies, but 1 took a few minutes
and talked to Coach Robertson
to find out more about the man
behind the St. Andrews golf team.
James Robertson’s credentials are
quite impressive. For over 20 years,
he has functioned as a PGA Tour
Instructor and has worked on the
PGA, European. Asian. Canadian,
LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf
Association), Champions, and
Nationwide tours. He founded and is
the head instructor of the Florida Golf
Academy and is author of two books.
So with such a resume backing
him up, one of the fir.st things you
might ask is if he has ever worked
with any “big names” in golf. “Sure,
a bunch of them and it is a pretty
long list, but that was primarily
because of our contact with
As for what is involved in being
an excellent golfer, he simply states,
“The mental game is 90% of success
on tour, so you do the math.”

International Management Group,

organization in the world. Tiger
is one of IMG’s clients,” he said.
If you’re looking to become part of
the St. Andrews golf team and you
want to know if you have what it
takes, the first piece of advice from
Coach Robertson is “Take a golf
class...work on your game...make
the golf team...go play!” As for
individual players, he looks for two
important qualities. First, he asks,
“Are they willing to work hard and
take responsibility for their own
learning?” and second, “Are they
willing to get a copy of Stephen
Covey’s 7-Habits [of Highly
Effective People] book and start
working through it?” In terms of
goals, it rests on the individual player
themselves. “The motivation of top
golfers is internal, not external. They
set the goals, I don’t. Why would I
want to set goals for somebody else,
I have enough trouble setting and
reaching my own goals,” he said.
