About Jim Sowerwine
Sharing the Lessons I Was Fortunate to Learn — To Help You Become a Better, More Consistent Player
I’ve been blessed to learn the game firsthand from some of golf’s greatest players and coaches — Jack Nicklaus, Gardner Dickinson, Gary Player, Davis Love II, Bob Toski, Jim Flick and others.
They shaped my understanding of the game, how to play, and how to coach. With 30+ years of coaching experience, I help players improve their skills, reach their potential, and enjoy the game more.
Proven Strategies from Golf’s Greatest Minds – I often share the same lessons, drills, and techniques passed down to me from legends of the game.
A Simplified, No-Nonsense Approach – No fluff, no gimmicks—just a practical approach to improve the games of players who want to get better.
A Passion for Helping Players Improve - From casual golfers to competitive players, I love seeing players improve their skills, enjoy the game more and shoot lower scores.

Testimonials
I learned more in 2 hours than past 30 years.
First off, I wanted to thank you for the lesson yesterday. I learned more about my game in those two hours than in the past 30 years playing. While it was a lot to digest, I found I was able to realize some success at the driving range today. I hit about 100 balls and left feeling happy that you have put me on the right path. What a feeling!!!

Best golf instruction I have ever received.
Jim's coaching has allowed me to understand my swing, such that I now have the awareness and understanding for how to make the necessary 'on course' adjustments when my old tendencies creep in. This has allowed me to lower my handicap and increase my enjoyment of the game.

Who Is Jim Sowerwine?
Jim Sowerwine isn’t just another golf coach—he’s a student of the game, a lifelong competitor, and a mentor who’s had the privilege of learning from some of the greatest minds in golf. Raised alongside the Nicklaus family, Jim’s early days were spent learning from none other than the Golden Bear, himself. But golf wasn’t his only passion—he played multiple sports, developing a well-rounded athletic background before ultimately finding his calling in golf.
Jim played collegiate golf at UNC-Chapel Hill, where he gained firsthand experience under legendary mentors like Davis Love II. While he had some success on the course, his true passion was always in understanding the why behind good golf—the fundamentals great players have in common, their mindset, routines, and their approach to the game, and how small changes can lead to breakthroughs...
After college, Jim explored professional golf, even qualifying for the Asian Tour, but quickly realized his heart wasn’t in tour life. Instead, he found a deeper calling—helping others improve their game and sharing the insights he was so fortunate to learn. Over the years, he learned from and was mentored by some of golf’s most recognized players and coaches, including Jack Nicklaus, Jack Grout, Gardner Dickenson, Davis Love II, Jim Flick, Bob Toski, Rick Smith, Henry Young, Mike Malaska, Martin Hall and others... These experiences shaped his philosophy: while there are fundamental great players have in common, there is not just one way; good coaching is tailored to the individual and communicated in the simplest way that resonates with them.
Jim’s coaching approach is unique. He doesn’t just teach mechanics—he helps players truly understand their game and how to effectively make changes and improve their skillsets. He blends fundamentals with modern insights, offering a clear, structured pathway to improvement. Whether it’s refining a swing, sharpening the short game, or mastering the mental side, Jim’s coaching is rooted in practical wisdom that gets results.
