2019 US National Champion Jason Hawkins – Part I
The Hawk is back on the POC, this time as the reigning US National Champion! Jason's evolution as one of the top Speedgolfers in the world is an inspiring journey of patient improvement and quiet confidence.
In spite of several setbacks along the way, Hawkins has produced a career defining year with 3 wins in 4 starts in 2019, including the Vegas Extreme Challenge, the KYSGO, and most recently 3rd annual US Speedgolf Champs.
In part I today, we discuss his golfing and fitness history, as well as his competitive road to the US Champs in Houston, Texas less than one month ago.
Stay tuned for part II, where we cover his climb to a national championship victory over the last three years.

2019 US National Champion Jason Hawkins – Part II
Every second counts! We've said it before, we'll say it again. Because it's true, and because it's a big part of what makes competitive Speedgolf so thrilling.
For that reason, Speedgolfers instinctively push their games to the limit. Who wants to lose by a few seconds knowing somewhere in the round they stopped giving 100%?
It causes anguish when you're on the wrong side of the clock, and it feels exhilarating when the hands of time fall your way. Jason Hawkins, a fixture at the top of our sport, is familiar with both scenarios.
In part II of our conversation with 'The Hawk', we cover his 3 US national championship experiences, culminating in a hard fought, long-awaited victory at this year's showing.

ABOUT THE POC
After returning from the 2015 Speedgolf World Championships, Scott Dawley and Dude Spellings decided it was time to start a podcast. The sport was in the beginning stages of major transformation, and we set out to document this revolutionary change in real time!
In the beginning, we engaged with forward thinking guests from around the world of golf about where they saw the game headed in the 21st Century. There are some amazing conversations in the first 50 episodes. Back then, there wasn't enough Speedgolf action to cover on a weekly basis, but our ultimate goal was to help grow the sport and develop into the world's only podcast devoted exclusively to Speedgolf.
As we approach our 100th episode, I'm proud of the unique content we have been able to produce and share with our listeners and fans. The entire POC library of past episodes is available on this website and will always be free to download and enjoy.
Starting in 2019, the POC Golf Podcast proudly relaunches as the POC Speedgolf Podcast! Each week, we will profile and interview the pioneers, innovators, entrepreneurs, athletes, and record breakers – the change agents in and around the future Olympic sport. With the help of our guests, the POC Speedgolf Podcast will shed light on the ways in which the game is growing and evolving to keep pace with the demands of the modern world: Fast. Affordable. Healthy. Fun!
Through the podcast you can join us on this incredible journey the game of Speedgolf is on. Subscribe today and get notified when we release a new episode.
Until then – pick up the pace; play from your heart.
