Reason Golf Academy, Sarasota

Ben Hogan became one of the best golfers of all time because he built a golf swing that performed better with the more pressure he put it under. It would become known as the "delayed release" swing, a timeless example of pure form that continues to inspire golfers and enhance their game. Mark Reason has been using this approach to help students build their own dependable swing mechanics for more than three decades.

All of Mark Reason's services at Reason Golf Academy—from swing analysis to sales of training DVDs to club fitting—are dedicated to helping golfers develop sound, consistent swings. Spreading the wisdom of Hogan's "delayed release" like a veritable Johnny Appleseed of golf, Mark has split time between the states of Florida, known for its innumeral golf courses, and Michigan, known for having the hardest green to hit in the world, the Upper Peninsula.

Mark teaches group clinics and private lessons, primarily coaching students to adopt more vertical swing axes. Where his powers of observation end, a P3ProSwing golf analyzer picks up, reading each swing within a golf simulator and providing feedback with a multitude of data, such as club-face angle, sweet-spot deviation, and each golf ball's ultrasonic cries of pain.
