HEAD COACH JOHN INMAN
CAROLINA MEN’S GOLF
After spending 12 years playing on the PGA
Tour, John Inman returned home–to his home
state and to his alma mater. Now, in his seventh
year at the helm, Inman brings years of playing
experience and exuberant enthusiasm to the Tar
Heel team.
“We’re very fortunate to get John Inman to
return to Carolina as our men’s golf coach,” said
UNC Director of Athletics Dick Baddour when
Inman was hired in 1998. “His knowledge of the game and experience on the PGA Tour should make him a tremendous teacher for our
players. Plus, his reputation as one of the top players in NCAA history and the many contacts he has across the country will be a great
benefit in recruiting. John knows the University and the UNC golf
program and is committed to the goals and values of each.”
Inman, a native of Greensboro, N.C., and a 1984 graduate of
Carolina, came to Chapel Hill from Roswell, Ga., where he lived for
nine years while playing on the PGA Tour. Inman turned professional after he graduated from Carolina and played on the PGA Tour for
12 years (1987-1998). He won two tournaments during his pro career
-- the 1987 Provident Classic and the 1993 Buick Southern Open. He
posted eight top-10 finishes and 32 top-25 finishes.
“It’s an exciting opportunity to come back to Carolina and guide
the program into the future,” said Inman when selected as UNC’s seventh head coach in history. “Carolina is one of the top academic institutions and with the renovations of Finley Golf Course and the new
Chapman Center, it now has one of the finest facilities. It is thrilling
to be a part of it.”
Inman, a three-time All-America (1982-84) and three-time AllACC performer (1982-84), played on the Tar Heel team from 198184. He won the NCAA Individual Championship in 1984 and was the
recipient of the 1984 Fred Haskins Award as the National Player of
the Year. Inman’s score of 17-under-par in the NCAA Championship
broke Texas’ Ben Crenshaw’s NCAA record by two strokes. That
record, set at Houston’s Bear Creek Golf World, was tied three times
before it was shattered in 2000 by Charles Howell of Oklahoma State
who fired 23-under-par.
Inman, a member of the 1984 World Amateur Team and the 1984
Western Amateur Champion, won five tournaments while at Carolina.
In addition to the 1984 NCAA Championship, he was the individual
medalist at the 1981
M e t h o d i s t
Invitational, the 1982
ACC Tournament, the
1982 Forest Hills
Invitational and the
1983 Augusta College
Invitational.
While Inman was a
member
of
the
Carolina team, the Tar
Heels captured 15
team titles, including

coach

(1981, 1983 and 1984).

Inman’s career came in ‘84
when the team posted a

Since becoming head
coach of the Tar Heels,
Carolina has won nine
team championships and

including the ACC championships in 2002 and

place finish at the NCAA
Championship in 2003,
10th-place finishes in 1999 and 2000 and a 17th-place finish in 2002.
Also, Dustin Bray became the winningest Tar Heel in school history,
with seven wins, under Inman’s tutelage.
While at Carolina, Inman has honed his game by competing in
the New Zealand Open for six years (1999-2004). He has carded four
top-40 finishes including a tie for 13th place in 2004 and a tie for 38th
place in 2002. With nine holes to play in the 2004 event, Inman
pulled within two shots of the leader to become the top American finisher in the tournament.
Inman has also played in
several Buy.com and
PGA Tour events since
1998.
Inman is married to
the former Patti Arnold
from Rochester, Mich.
They reside in Durham.
