Introduction
Hello and thank you for the inquiry... I have been coaching/teaching for 30 years (Golf Academies, Schools, Resorts, and Private Golf Clubs). I am fortunate to have been mentored by several of the game’s most recognized players and coaches. I played competitively through college (UNC-Chapel Hill, 85’-89’) and for a couple of years professionally before redirecting my path coaching/teaching, something I have always had a passion for. When I looked back through the years of playing competitively, it dawned on me that I spent as much time helping my friends and teammates with their games as I did my own, so the transition to coaching was a no-brainer… and I am grateful to have turned a passion into a profession. And I get as much enjoyment helping someone break 90 for the first time as I do with helping someone break 70…. Hopefully we’ll have the chance to meet, and I can help you with your game All the best for good golf! Jim Sowerwine, PGA P.S. Feel free to visit my website to learn more about me, my background, accolades… and the professionals who influenced my path...

After playing golf for 25 years my handicap has gone up in the last few years. With that I was losing my envy to play. Already after two lessons, Jim has helped me to correct my swing easily and given me back the fun of the game. I look forward to continuing with him and I highly recommend him. F. S.

Jim Sowerwine is a pro at Pelican's Nest Golf Club in Bonita Springs, Florida. His primary responsibility is instruction. I have taken a series of lessons from Jim and have come away with new strategies and skills. Jim can quickly determine what needs to be changed or tweaked. He explains things in language that is understandable and provides logical approaches to correct your game. He is a believer in practice and patience. He is focused and conscientious and provides positive re-enforcement throughout the lesson. I especially liked to receive an email from Jim after my lesson summarizing what we worked on. I saved these notes and reflect on them before playing. I can honestly say my game has improved and I look forward to continuing my instruction with Jim in the future.

I totally enjoyed my short game lesson with Jim. My first lesson was on the proper way to chip. He explained thoroughly every step involved from the practice swing, to setup to the complete swing. The day after the lesson I received a follow up email from him detailing everything we did during the lesson. I would highly recommend Jim as an excellent instructor.
