Coach Jamie Green: A Legacy of Championship Excellence
The Early Years: A Foundation in the Game
Over 50 years ago, Jamie Green was introduced to the game of golf by riding in between his parents on a golf cart when his father would have a day off from working as a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. Like many boys and girls, Jamie played numerous sports before settling on golf as the endeavor to which he’d be most interested, passionate, and committed.
Academic and Professional Origins
Having earned his college degree from Ohio Wesleyan University, where Green played four years of collegiate golf—including an appearance in the NCAA Division III National Championship—Jamie chose to pursue a career in the golf industry. Focused on teaching and coaching the sport to junior golfers and young adults since 1994, he started this path as a lead instructor at dozens of junior golf camps, clinics, and programs, eventually becoming owner and director of the Duke Golf School for Boys from 2010 to 2025.
Igniting the Fire for Collegiate Coaching
After earning his Class A, Professional Golfers Association of America membership in 1997, Green decided that collegiate coaching would be his life’s work. Although he served as a teaching and club professional in Ohio, Florida, Arizona, and New Hampshire immediately after his studies, his exposure to the Dartmouth College men’s and women’s golf programs ignited a fire for “providing the tools for learning.”
The Division I Ascent
From 1994 to 2025, Green served in numerous capacities as a Division I NCAA college golf coach and member of the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). After working seasonally at Dartmouth College and Tulane University, Green landed a position at perennially highly ranked Auburn University in 1997 as the Men’s Assistant coach. From there, he joined the University of North Carolina men's team as an assistant coach between 1999 and 2003.
Building a National Contender: UNC Charlotte
His first head coaching stint began in 2003 at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Jamie directed a men's program that had never played in an NCAA Regional Championship in school history prior to 2005 to become the #1 team in the nation across all ranking polls by the end of the 2007 Fall campaign. His tenure included three Atlantic-10 Conference Championships, 17 tournament wins, and two top-10 NCAA National Championship finishes.
"Jamie Green is absolutely one of the BEST golf coaches in the world, and he truly understands what it takes to be an elite golfer at every level of competitive golf. More importantly, Jamie knows every golfer is unique, and he tailors his coaching and develops a customized plan for each one of his players to succeed.
As a junior golfer I was incredibly raw and undeveloped talent, and I had no clue how to score low and win golf tournaments on a consistent basis. Jamie Green took my raw talent, taught me how to improve both mentally and physically, and completely transformed my golf game into a Div. 1 All-American during all 4 years of my college golf career.
I won 5 individual collegiate victories, and an induction to the UNCC Athletic Hall of Fame. I was a participant on a victorious Arnold Palmer Cup Team, and played professionally for 10 years (including 11 professional wins), and Jamie Green was a massive part of all of my golf success.
When you select Coach Green to assist you (or your child) through College Golf Pathway, you are getting: 1. A coach who has decades of competitive golf knowledge and success; 2. A coach who genuinely cares about you on and off the golf course; and 3. A coach who will do whatever it takes to help you succeed.

Coach Green over 3 Decades of Coaching at Division 1
Before I stepped foot on campus as a freshman, I had aspirations of playing professional golf on the PGA Tour. Thus, it was important to me to play for a head coach that had a proven track record of developing golfers that could compete and win on the PGA Tour, and Jamie Green has done that. He also has the demeanor that I believe best suits a golf coach: one that exudes positivity, believes in his players, and has the knowledge and experience to lead at the highest level. During my four years at Duke University, he helped me develop my golf game each year by setting up drills for the entire team to complete, while also keeping up with everyone’s statistics and developing an individualized game plan for each player. Everything we did as a team had a purpose to it, and that’s why we succeeded. He definitely helped me refine my skills and mindset that have helped me get to the PGA Tour.

As parents, you want to know whether the people entrusted with your child's development are truly worthy of that trust. In Jamie Green's case, you have our word: he is. Whether as a young junior golfer at Coach Green's camp; or in the recruiting process; or all the way through our son's fourth season of collegiate golf, Jamie treats his players — and their parents — with consistent respect, honesty, and care. That consistency of character is rare at any level. It's almost unheard of at the elite level. We watched our son grow under Jamie's mentorship, and the golfer, the competitor — and the person — who reflects his coach's standards. For families considering College Golf Pathway: you're not just getting a golf tactician with an extraordinary résumé. You're getting someone who genuinely cares about your son or daughter, and about your family as well.
