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’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.
