Jason is a U.S. Navy veteran living near Cleveland, Ohio, who plays out of Valley of the Eagles. After overcoming severe injuries sustained in Iraq, he discovered PGA HOPE—a foundation providing free golf instruction to veterans—where he went on to become a Northern Ohio ambassador.

Over the course of three to four years, Jason remarkably lowered his handicap from 30+ down to a 4.4. In this episode, you will learn:

• An Unforgettable 5-Day Golf Streak: How Jason served as an honorary starter at a Champions Tour event at Firestone—crushing a 280-yard drive on TV—before shooting his personal-best round of 68 and hitting a hole-in-one at Muirfield Village.
• The Power of the Wedge Matrix: Why printing a simple chart of wedge swing distances and attaching it to his bag was the single biggest factor in lowering his handicap.
• Mastering Tempo with Tech: How using Bluetooth hearing aids paired with the Tour Tempo app helped lock in a reliable 2:1 swing ratio during practice.
• Unlocking 115+ MPH Swing Speed: The training tools and techniques Jason used to transform his cruising driver speed from 95 mph to over 113–115 mph.
• Fixing Long Iron Hooks: Strategies for adjusting grip pressure and path to prevent long irons and woods from overdrawing or pull-hooking.
• Conquering Hard & Wet Bunkers: Why staying on your lead side and swinging steep to "create sand" is the key to avoiding thinned or skulled bunker shots.
• Mental Toughness & Tournament Mindsets: Practical grounding tools and sensory techniques to stay in the present moment when score pressure starts to creep in.
