James Michael "Jim" Stracka (born March 25, 1959), is an American entrepreneur and innovator. Stracka's career has been in the golf industry. Currently, he is the President of StrackaLine,[1] which catalogues greens and yardage information for golf courses around the world,[2] and the President of Golf Intelligence, which catalogues data for golf technology companies.[3] He also writes on golf topics for Sports Illustrated.[3]
Stracka has founded multiple companies including PentaSafe, StrackaLine, Golf Rank, and KeyCompete amongst others. In 2003, after relocating to San Diego, California, Stracka and his son, Chase, founded StrackaLine to help golfers read the greens better.[4] In May 2024, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced that StrackaLine would be the 'Official Greens Guide & Yardage Book' for Men's and Women's Golf Programs through at least 2027.[5]
