Morris Jones Jr. (Coach Mōjō) – PGA Professional

 

Morris Jones Jr., affectionately known as Coach Mōjō, is a dedicated PGA Professional with a passion for developing golfers at all levels—from beginners to PGA Tour professionals and elite athletes. Hailing from Davenport, Iowa, Mōjō discovered his profound love for the game of golf at the age of 29 while volunteering with The First Tee Program in Nashville, TN, where he became a Level 2 Coach.

 

At 30 years old, Morris caught the eye of Lead Head Coach Robert “Bob” Moore from The First Tee and Head Coach of Fisk University’s Golf Team. This fortuitous encounter led to Morris receiving a golf scholarship at Fisk University, one of the most historic and prestigious Black universities in the nation, despite having played golf for only one year. While majoring in art, he not only excelled in his studies but also continued to thrive in golf, actively participating in youth initiatives, including The Chief Thompson Foundation.

 

Morris's commitment to the sport propelled him into professional golf, where he competed on the APGA Tour in 2019 and participated in various Monday qualifiers. His vibrant personality and skill brought him recognition when he appeared on ABC’s "Holey Moley" (Season 2, Episode 3), hosted by NBA superstar Steph Curry.

 

As Coach Mōjō, he infuses enthusiasm, positivity, and humor into a sport that often demands resilience and focus. His expertise encompasses working with junior golfers, beginners, advanced players, and professionals alike, emphasizing key areas such as fundamentals, course strategy, the rules of the game, and above all, fostering a love for golf.

 

Mōjō holds numerous certifications, including TPI Level 1 Certified in Golf Fitness Training and a Golf Psychology Certification, enabling him to approach the game holistically. 

 

Whether you’re a novice eager to learn or a seasoned player looking to enhance your skills, Coach Mōjō is dedicated to helping you unlock your full potential on the golf course—and beyond.
