Jim Douglas, who helped the Georgia men’s golf team win the program’s two national championships, rejoined the Bulldogs’ staff in January of 2011 and was promoted to Associate Head Coach in July of 2012. He is in his 20th season overall with the Bulldogs.
Douglas was Georgia’s assistant coach from 1997 through 2005, during which time the Bulldogs celebrated some of their greatest success. With Douglas as Coach Chris Haack’s lieutenant, Georgia won NCAA titles in 1999 and 2005, along with four Southeastern Conference championships (1998, 2000, 2001 and 2004). Georgia produced 26 All-Americans, 30 All-SEC picks, two SEC Players of the Year, two SEC Freshmen of the Year, 33 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections, six Scholar All-Americans, and an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipient in that span.
Douglas served parts of the 2009-10 season as a volunteer coach, including during Georgia’s run to the SEC title.
In 2011, with Douglas assisting Haack in the spring, the Bulldogs advanced to the final match of the NCAA Championship. Douglas and Haack also guided the Bulldogs to the 2015 “Final Fore.” In 2015, Douglas also helped the Bulldogs win the 29th SEC title in school history.
Douglas graduated from UGA with a degrees in Political Science and History.
He has two sons, James and Charles.
