Our Mission

Our Story

You've probably hit a bad shot and wondered, “Why the f*** do I golf?!” That was the genesis behind the brand. We decided to combine our successes with product development, our extensive relationships with professional golfers and instructors, and our collective frustration playing this game we all love to hate into a company with one goal: Help the world suck less at golf.

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.
Jamie Cheatham - VP of Commercial Operations
Jamie played collegiate golf at Cal - Berkeley and is now leading WhyGolf's marketing efforts. While most people would agree he hasn't sucked at golf for most of his life, he's found WhyGolf training aids to be helpful in his own game and thinks you should definitely try them out - no matter your skill level.
Ryan Pearlman - Director of Technology
Although a golf novice, Ryan brings a wealth of experience in scaling technology products. Coming from the finance industry, he's now the resident tech wizard, using the latest and greatest tech to optimize your golf game.
