Jerry McGraw

He moved to the Carolina’s in the seventies to attend Campbell University, where he earned a BSC in Psychology with a major in Professional Golf Management. McGaw then moved to Wilmington where he held several positions from 1st Assistant to Head Golf Professional to General Manager at various Country Clubs in the Wilmington area.
A life member of the PGA, McGraw has helped golfers of all skill levels hone their craft. He even did a small stint as a caddy for LPGA golfer and good friend Cathy Johnston-Forbes when she competed on the LPGA.
In 1986 he established Coastal Golfaway, a company that specializes in golf vacation packages. Jerry McGraw knows “Myrtle Beach Golf” like the back of his hand and has brought golfers from all over the globe to play in Myrtle Beach. An accomplished player, be careful when placing a wager against him on the links, he can still boom it off the tee and can flag it at any given time. His handicap? “Scratch. Remember, McGraw is a professional golfer.”
