Tom Fowler is in his third season as head coach of the men's golf program at North Georgia College & State University in 2011-12.

Fowler was selected as the head coach prior to President Dr. David Potter announcing the addition of men's and women's golf as NCAA Division II sports for North Georgia in the fall of 2009.

In their first year of existence, the men’s golf team competed in nine events, including the program’s first-ever victory against the University of Dayton in a head-to-head match against the Flyers.

“I am proud and excited to have been asked to coach for North Georgia,” said Fowler. “I am looking forward to coaching a world class team that will proudly serve as ambassadors for the University, Dahlonega, and the game of golf.”

A native of Jasper, Georgia, Fowler has been a PGA professional since 1994 and serves as the head golf professional for Achasta which will be the home course to the golf teams.

Fowler was named Assistant of the Year for the Georgia Section of the PGA of America and also served as the section’s assistants division as president and tournament director. His Oconee Course golf shop was among the Top 100 Resort Golf Shops in Golf Digest in 2004.

Fowler and his wife Dana have been married for 18 years and have one daughter, Hannah.
