JJ’s story is one of resilience, determination, and an unbreakable love for the game. In January 2020, at the tender age of 12, while pursuing his passion for hockey, JJ encountered health issues that would change the course of his life. Diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition thickening the walls of his heart, he faced the heart-wrenching reality of having to step away from intense sports like football and hockey where he excelled.

But JJ’s spirit refused to be dampened. He saw an opportunity in the tranquil greens of golf, and with unwavering determination, he embarked on a new sporting journey.

Transitioning from team sports to the individual game of golf was no small feat, but JJ embraced the challenge with open arms.

In 2022, Jordan achieved a significant personal milestone, clinching victory at the Junior Club Championship at Conestoga Golf Club. This win was not just a triumph on the scorecard; it was a personal victory and a testament to his relentless dedication and indomitable spirit.

But what truly sets JJ apart is the support and camaraderie he’s developed within the GolfNorth community. The friendships he’s found and the encouragement he’s received have been an essential part of his journey.

JJ exemplifies the essence of golf – a sport that brings people together, provides opportunities for personal growth, and allows individuals to shine. His story is a reminder that adversity can be conquered with determination and a passion for what you love, no matter your age or circumstances.
