Head Men's Golf Coach, University of Arizona Jim Anderson

Since being named Head Men’s Golf Coach at the University of Arizona in June of 2012, Jim Anderson has propelled the program’s resurgence on the national scene with conference championships, All-Americans and unparalleled academic success.
View Jim's Bio ⟩

Spring of 2021 marked seminal moments of championship success on the course and in the classroom. Anderson was named Pac-12 Coach of the Year after guiding the Wildcats to their first Pac-12 Championship, as a team, in nearly 20 years. Brad Reeves became the program’s first Pac-12 Individual Champion since 2008 when he claimed the crown in dramatic fashion in the second playoff hole of the Pac-12 Championships in California. Reeves led the team’s dominance of the Pac-12 Conference Awards becoming Player of the Year as well as a First Team All-Pac-12 selection. Trevor Werbylo joined Reeves in the First Team while David Laskin and Chase Sienkiewicz were voted to the All-Conference Second Team with Sienkiewicz also earning a spot on the Pac-12 All-Newcomer Team.

In addition to the emphatic wins at the Pac-12 Championships and plethora of conference awards, the 2021 spring season saw the Wildcats win three tournaments as a team. Team victories in its home Arizona Intercollegiate event, The Prestige in Palm Springs and then the Pac-12 Championships gave Arizona its most tournament wins in a season since 2004. All three of those wins also saw Wildcats pickup individual wins as Brad Reeves won the Arizona Intercollegiate and the Pac-12 Championships while Trevor Werbylo claimed the victory at The Prestige. The trio of victories and conference titles padded Arizona’s postseason resume as it was selected for NCAA Regionals for a third consecutive season. Spring 2021 also saw championship success off the course as well as David Laskin became the program’s first Pac-12 Scholar Athlete of the Year since Alex McMahon in 2015.

The Wildcats' 2018-19 season featured Arizona's second-straight Arizona Intercollegiate victory as Anderson's squad posted a -37 score at its home course of Sewailo. The Wildcats also had Top 5 finishes as a team at the Showdown in the Rockies, the Saint Mary's Invitational and the Querencia Cabo Collegiate. The impressive season led the Wildcats to the NCAA Louisville Regional, marking the third time Anderson led Arizona to postseason play. Under Anderson's watch, sophomore Trevor Werbylo had a scoring average of 70.73, which is the third-best single-season scoring average in program history. Werbylo was named honorable mention All-American by the Golf Coaches Association of America. Junior David Laskin, who had a scoring average of 72.18, was named first-team Pac-12 All-Academic, while junior Briggs Duce was named second team and fellow junior Brad Reeves was named honorable mention.
Assistant Men's Golf Coach, University of Arizona Matt Walton

University of Arizona head men’s golf coach Jim Anderson has named Matt Walton the program’s next assistant coach in June of 2023. Walton arrived in Tucson following three seasons as an assistant on the USC Men’s Golf coaching staff. The Trojans qualified as a team or individually for NCAA Regionals in each of Walton’s three seasons in Los Angeles while leading a handful of USC golfers to All-Pac-12 honors.
View Matt's Bio ⟩

Walton helped guide Kaito Onishi Jr. to First Team all-conference honors in 2021 and Jackson Rivera to a second team selection a year later. USC also placed Shane Ffrench on the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team in 2021 and Mahanth Chirravuri in 2023. Rivera would also earn co-medalist honors with Arizona’s Zach Pollo at this season’s Arizona N.I.T., which the Wildcats won as a team for the first time in two decades.

Prior to his time at USC, Walton spent one season as an assistant coach at Wichita State during the COVID-19 shortened 2019-20 season. During his first season as a college coach, the Shockers won a regular season event, an individual title with two other individual top-10 finishes. The program also set a record with a 3.70 team GPA that season, which garnered the American Athletic Conference’s Team Academic Excellence Award.

Walton spent four years as a premier golf instructor before beginning his college coaching career. He was the Lead Golf Coach at Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy in Orlando from 2017 to 2019 after spending the two previous years as the Director of Instruction at Correct2Compete in Zionsville, Indiana.

A decorated college golfer himself, Walton qualified for national postseason competition in four seasons at the NAIA and NJCAA levels. He began his college playing career at Rend Lake College in Illinois where he led his team to a top-10 finish at the NJCAA Division II National Championships. Walton earned Second Team All-American NJCCA honors as a member of the Warriors’ golf program. He transferred to University of the Cumberlands where he helped the Patriots win back-to-back Mid-South Conference titles in 2012 and 2013 and a pair of top-10 finishes at the NAIA National Championships.

Walton is originally from Lytham St. Annes, Endland and earned his bachelor's degree in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of the Cumberlands in 2013. He and his wife Carly have been married since 2017.

This program is designed for boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level golfer, our world-class instruction and coaching provides junior golfers with the necessary skills to compete and win. These camps offer training and real competition scenarios that develop every part of your game. During the week, campers work on short game, putting, approach shots, course management, and will test their new skills in weekly competitions and 18-hole tournaments. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.

Tucson Country Club

The Tucson Country Club was established in 1947 by a small group of people who purchased a 580-acre ranch located in a remote area of Tucson to provide a unique golfing opportunity and social camaraderie on the growing northeast side.

It allowed for the development of the Tucson Country Club Estates. During its more than 75-year history, the Tucson Country Club has provided its members with 18 holes of exquisite championship golf. The unique tournament history has featured 19 USGA Championship Qualifiers, 8 Arizona Amateurs, 1964 Western Amateur, 1982 USGA Senior Amateur, and the 1992 USGA Senior Women’s Amateur. Tucson Country Club has not only hosted outstanding amateur events but was also home to arguably one of the world’s finest amateur golfers, the late Dr. Edgar Updegraff.

June 15, 2023: My son Kiptyn loved his 1st year at the camp! Jim Anderson and his staff from the U of A did a great job! My son learned a ton of new skills for his golf game, had fun getting to know the other campers at golf, and really loved the hotel they all stayed at. Would definitely recommend this camp to friends! Thank you Coach Anderson!
