Jan Downling Announced Women’s Golf Coach

Athletics Director Jeremy Foley announced Jan Dowling as the University of Florida’s women’s golf coach. Dowling comes to UF after spending one season as an assistant coach at Duke University and two seasons as an assistant at Kent State University. She also played as a professional for almost three years before entering the collegiate coaching ranks.

“Throughout this search, Jan Dowling’s name kept coming up as a fast-rising coaching talent. She has solid credentials as a player and as a coach. Florida’s had success developing young, gifted coaches and Jan certainly fits that model. Jan loves coaching and loves the game of golf. She is confident that she can lead this program and recruit talented student-athletes to Florida,” Foley said. “We believe that Jan will be very successful at Florida.”

“I’d like to thank Mr. Foley for this tremendous opportunity,” Dowling said. “There are currently a lot of talented players at Florida and we are going to create a team atmosphere to build on this and get the program back into national championship contention year in and year out. We have every resource imaginable at the University of Florida which will attract elite student-athletes. Gainesville is a wonderful place to live and makes UF a great total package. I’m also looking forward to working with everyone at UF’s Athletic Association.
