Jim Heller enters his eighth season as the head coach of  the Garnet.

The 2012 Centennial Coach of the Year, Heller guided the Garnet to a second place finish at the Centennial Conference Championship. The second-place finish equaled the 2007 squad for the best Centennial Championship result in program history. Two members of the team - senior Paul Weston and freshman Andrew Park - earned All-Conference honors while Weston became just the second golfer in program history to finish tied for first place individually at the Centennial Conference Championship.

In the spring of 2012, the Garnet reached the GCAA National Rankings for the first time in program history after placing in the top three at the Dickinson Invitational, McDaniel Invitational and Messiah Falcon Classic.

During the 2011 fall season, the Swarthmore golf team set both the team and individual program records.  The team shot a record low 294 in the Immaculata Invitational while sophomore Jeff Wall set the individual round record, shooting a 69 in the Swarthmore Invitational.

In 2007, the Garnet golf team rose to new heights, finishing second at the Centennial Conference Golf Champioships, the best showing in school history.  Two Swarthmore golfers, Zach Moody '07 and Eric Zwick '07, were named All-Centennial.  Zwick was also named Philadelphia Inquirer Golf Academic Performer of the Year. 

His 2007 squad also earned the Swarthmore school records for all-time low tournament score with a 305 and the school's lowest Centennial Conference Championship tournament score with a 306.

While head coach of Swarthmore's, Heller has produced four All-Centennial players, including Eric Zwick in 2006 and 2007, Zach Moody in 2007, Alex Nichamin in 2009 and Paul Weston in 2010 and 2011.
