James Anthony Ferraby, originally from Leeds, arrived to Tenerife at 2 years of age. He left to the USA to form himself at the Heritage Academy in South Carolina, while improving his knowledge of golf at the Hank Haney Junior Golf Academy, with the prestigious golf coach that trained, among others, the former number 1 Tiger Woods.
On his American adventure he won an IJGA event, at Parris Island and on his return to Tenerife he once again won on the Amateur stage, the 2009 Tenerife Open. That same year he took a leap to the professional stage at only 18 years old, making his debut at the Canarian Open with a great fourth place finish. He played in various tournaments on the European tour and Challenge tour, achieving his best milestone on being the first player to get a hole in one in the history of the Russian Open.
After this stage he focused on golf coaching in courses around Tenerife, arriving at Golf Las Americas the beginning of this year, starting an exciting stage at our Golf Academy.

In September 2018 Ferraby attended the first David Leadbetter seminar which was held in Spain, at Madrid’s centro Nacional.
James Ferraby: « It was there I got my inspiration to continue learning the methods and ideas from David Leadbetter and started my certification process ».
In August 2019 he was the only professional from Spain to be invited to the David Leadbetter World Summit which was held at Stoke Park Golf Club, with over 50 professionals from around the world.
