James Douglas Edgar (30 September 1884 – 8 August 1921) was an English professional golfer and golf writer.

[2] Edgar was a friend of Alexa Stirling and gave her golf lessons while he was the professional at Druid Hills.

He lost the 1920 PGA Championship, one of golf's majors, in a match play final to Jock Hutchison.

Through experimentation, he found that a restricted hip turn still allowed a repeatable swing with excellent power and control.

[2] Eubanks' article was an excerpt from his book To Win and Die in Dixie, a biography of Edgar published later that year.
