“ A few months ago we sent our daughter Spenser to try a clinic put on by Jason. We were so impressed with his approach, that we have been going as often as possible since then which is usually twice a week. Spenser is an accomplished golfer who has been playing since she was about 6 years old. Over the past 10 or so years we have worked with a number of coaches in the San Diego area. Some were nationally recognized but none has been able to connect with Spenser as Jason has. Spenser’s major area that needed to be addressed was her short game. He has given her a very sound set of skills/techniques which she can work with… We are very pleased with the direction she is heading under the guidance of Jason and plan to continue the association – hopefully for a long time to come.
