Growing up in St. Albans, WV, Jason fell in love with the game of golf at a young age. He went on to play collegiate golf for Glenville State College before turning pro in 1992. 

Sutton is a Golf Magazine Top-100 Teacher and ranked the #4 Best Teacher in North Carolina by Golf Digest. Nicknamed “The Golf Guru” early in his career, Sutton has been teaching and coaching golf for 28 years, including 11 years at The Dana Rader Golf School (now the Ballantyne Golf Academy), which is consistently rated among the top-25 golf schools in the U.S. by Golf Magazine. 

Now with more than 28 years of coaching experience, Jason and his wife along with their two kids, reside in Bluffton, SC where Jason is the Director of Instruction at Colleton River Club.
