In this episode, we interview the other Mike Jordan, the one you likely have not heard of…until now.

Mike has had an extraordinary career in golf ball design and development. Below you will find a quick bio and our discussion topics on all things golf balls. We cut through a lot of misconceptions about compression, distance, the USGA rules governing golf balls, spin rates, core and cover materials and so much more.

Mike has BS degree in Chemistry from Furman University. He Played football at Furman and did undergraduate chemistry research in inorganic chemistry, specifically the photoluminescence properties of organometallic compounds.  

- He joined Titleist as a quality engineer in the late 90’s working at their Ball Plant II. This was a great place to start his golf ball journey as he learned every detail on how to make every piece of a golf ball.  He moved into R&D and Titleist about a year later.

- In R&D he ended up leading all thermoplastic material and thermoplastic golf ball development, as well as a lot of work on improving the dual core materials and designs.  

-He moved on to TaylorMade to lead their golf ball engineering and commercialization in the mid 2000’s.

-Mike moved on from TaylorMade in 2009 but has been behind the scenes consulting for many brands you have heard of and production facilities you have not heard of ever since.

-To date he is an inventor of 40 patents in the golf ball / golf process world.

He’s an avid golfer who spent two decades producing charity golf events, writing golf articles and two books, and consulting. In 2014, inspired after interviewing Gary Player at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, he completed a 50-state golf trip in 101 days to promote a wellness lifestyle and launch Wellness 101. His first meeting with Mr. Player, at the 1991 opening of River Run Golf Course in Berlin, MD, inspired him to pursue a career in golf. During a 20-year span, he helped charities nationwide raise more than $30 million, mostly through golf events and promotions.

Is The Answer,” an award-winning feature-length documentary film improving relations between police and the communities they serve, and helping people in general to learn how to love each other. He is the author of the book “L.O.V.E. Is The Answer.” People around the world are taking his L.O.V.E. Is The Answer pledge, which goes as follows: "I pledge to LEARN about the people in my community, to unconditionally OPEN my heart to their needs as if they were all immediate family members, to VOLUNTEER to be part of the solution in their life during both good and challenging times, and to EMPOWER everyone I meet to do the same as if our lives depended on each other.” In 2020, he made history by being the focus of a 7-page spread in the “Black History 365” textbook, for his L.O.V.E. Is The Answer work. The textbooks are being used by schools nationwide. 

He has produced, written and/or appeared in numerous media projects. A.J. and his wife Jane have been joyfully and happily married since 1994. They have a blended family of 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren.
