ABOUT US
"GOLF IS MORE FUN WHEN YOU SUCK LESS."
-Brad Mason, Founder. Inventor. Golf Fanatic. Friend to Other Golfers.
It doesn’t matter if you’re hitting one of your first range buckets or you’re a multiple major winner– if you’re a golfer, you’ve had a moment where you’ve thought, “Why the **** do I play golf!?!”
BUT GOLF ISN'T THE PROBLEM.
BAD GOLF IS THE PROBLEM.
That’s why, after decades of creating life-changing orthopedic devices, Brad and his brother, Jeff, started designing game-changing training devices. Since we launched WhyGolf in 2021, we’ve been working with top coaches and learning experts to create golf training products that get actual results.
The kind of results that’ll get you to stop asking, “Why the **** do I play golf?” and to start asking, “Why the **** didn’t I start practicing like this sooner!?”

BUSINESS STAFF
Brad Mason
Founder
After a successful career in the sports orthopedics industry, Brad Mason has embarked on a mission to help himself (and others) suck less at golf. He's now dutifully spending every waking minute designing original golf training aids alongside his brother, Jeff, with hopes of someday putting an end to this affliction he (and so many others) face.
JEFF MASON
VP of Product Development
Jeff’s engineering prowess brings his brother Brad's ideas to life. Their partnership has resulted in over 70 patents in the sports orthopedic industry, including braces currently used by NFL players. This commitment to quality and innovation is the reason WhyGolf has created some of the most exciting products to help golfers suck less.
