Table such silliness as “opposites attract.” Let’s instead introduce a pair who prove that “those who make birdies tend to flock together.”

Or something like that.

Meet Jason Caron and his wife, Liz, whose name is engraved on a couple of PGA Met Section trophies as LIZ CARON, but for the purpose of this story we’ll drift back to when she was Liz Janangelo from West Hartford, Conn., a veritable winning machine.

The Connecticut Women’s State Amateur was hers at 13 in 1997, then for each of the next four years till she got stronger and better and won the Connecticut State Women’s Open four straight summers, 2003-06. Eight AJGA wins made her a prized recruit, helping Duke to NCAA titles in 2005-06 proved the Blue Devils to be wise recruiters.

If afforded more time, there could be other triumphs and highlights sprinkled in (like seven collegiate wins, qualifying for U.S. Women’s Opens as an amateur, or playing in the 2004 Curtis Cup), but you have the point. Liz Janangelo has golf in her DNA.

So let’s harken back to that 2008 night at a Jupiter, Fla., art gallery when Janangelo and Jason Caron – another New Englander who authors his own story of golf splendor – struck up a friendship that led to marriage and two beautiful girls.

Intriguing because, well, what is central to their relationship is this: Caron, 51, and Janangelo, 40, navigated uncannily similar routes of quality – junior golf; college golf; pro golf at the highest level, PGA Tour for him, LPGA Tour for her – and now work together at The Mill River Club in Oyster Bay out on Long Island.

Opposites attract? Not in this corner of the golf universe.

“When I met Jason, I knew it was going to be very, very hard to have a family. (Pro golf) wasn’t what I thought it would be like,” Janangelo said.

College, like her junior and amateur days, had been hugely successfully. But doing well on the Futures Tour then struggling to find her best form on her two trips to the LPGA (2008, 2010) wasn’t what she had plugged into her GPS.

“There are a lot of expenses that you don’t think about and it added up. It was hard traveling by yourself. I decided there’s more to life and I wanted to use my gift.”

That gift, she knew, was a desire to teach and instruct and share golf with others. And in Caron, she found a soulmate. She discovered that he was bidding farewell to the pro golf travel and settling into the club pro world.

The moment called for a date.

No surprise, it was a round of golf. No surprise, she won. Wily surprise, the wager established by Caron: Winner bought lunch.

Smart kid, that Jason Caron. Very laid back, too, and very easy to like. He had grown up ingrained in the muni golf scene on Cape Cod where the air is saltier but the camaraderie warmer and the golf competition deeper and more inclusive.

No, his junior and amateur resume doesn’t sparkle like Liz’s – few do – but let the record show that Caron was a consistent force on the State Amateur scene. Round of 16 in 1992, semifinals a year later, quarterfinalist the summer after that. Having been voted MVP at Charleston Southern earlier in 1994, Caron meandered through the warm summer amateur schedule before deciding to turn pro. He measured his dream thusly: “I never thought of doing anything but playing golf.”

Bold? Crazy? Maybe. But it was his bold and crazy.

“I knew what people were probably saying, that a kid from Cape Cod making it on Tour, the odds were probably a gazillion-to-one. My attitude was, ‘Well, I’m that one.’ ”

Guess what, he was. Curious as to what provided Caron the tools to reach the PGA Tour for the 2000 and 2003 seasons, consider this: “I could always peak in the fall; summers I got lost .”

When it comes to their golf, Caroline (left) and Julia (right) are in good hands when they're with their head pro dad, Jason Caron.

Caron made it through PGA Tour Q School twice, so maybe he did have the knack for playing with his back to the wall. There was that February day in 1995 when he teed it up in the Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Championship on the Hurricane Tour with $60 in his bank account. It was either win or call the Cape for some money “and I didn’t want to have to call my dad,” Caron said.

He blitzed the field by eight with on 17-under and pocketed $5,000.

Being honest, Caron assesses the journey with a humility that overflows. “Looking back, I wanted to be on the Tour and I did that. That was my dream. I never had a dream to win on Tour.”

Two years in the big leagues (58 tournaments) and seven others on the Korn Ferry Tour (168) was enough. When he got hired to work for Grant Turner at Siwanoy CC in Bronxville, N.Y., Caron had a beautiful entryway into the club pro world. Turner could golf his ball. He had been where Caron had been.

“In me, he saw himself,” said Caron, which is why when there was an interview for the head pro job at Mill River, Turner encouraged his assistant of three years to go.

Then Turner added this: “Bring your wife. They may want to hire her, too.”

Never had that been in the plan. Janangelo had a sweet job at the Golf Club of Purchase in Purchase, N.Y. But Grant was right. “We both played with the golf chairman,” said Caron, “and at the end of the round he said, ‘What do we have to do to get her, too?’ ”

Today, they are well established on Long Island. Spare us the “Power Couple” babble. That Hollywood is A-List stuff, miles the personalities in which these two are wrapped.

“We’re both laid back and we both have changed our focus,” said Caron. “When we played we were all about our golf. Everything we’d do was for me, me, me. Now, it’s them.”

Meaning daughters, Caroline, 10, and Julia, 6.

Liz, who runs Mill River's ladies programs and junior golf programs and rarely crosses path with the busy head pro, her husband. It works and she loves it.

“We’re just passing each other all day,” laughed Caron. “But we do try to have lunch to catch up.”

As for their passions that ignited this career path, husband and wife have settled into great golf form. “She hits it so good,” said Caron of his wife, who has been Met Section Women’s Player of the Year in 2021 and ’22 and last summer won both the Met Section Pro Championship and Met Section Women’s PGA. The Jason Ledger: twice he’s won the Met PGA, twice he’s advanced to a PGA Championship, and in 2020 he was Met Section Player of the Year.

Seriously good golf, delightfully cozy relationship.

“We both know that your golf can’t define you as a person,” said Liz. “Your score can’t dictate your mindset. But I couldn’t think of a better situation.

“We’re definitely a team.”

As advertised, “those who make birdies tend to flock together.”

Or something like that.
