The MATTHEW JONES story

Tough Love and Second Chances - EDGA

In his work as a travel rep and tour guide, helping holidaying customers to find the best bars and restaurants, Matthew Jones would often be driving past golf courses but never gave them a thought.

And if Covid-19 hadn’t ripped the heart out of the tourism business in 2020, Matt may still be out there somewhere in Spain, Ibiza or elsewhere in the Med.

However, Matt’s adventures in sunny climes and his passion for golf, are certainly linked, because both boosted his feelings of positivity – an impressive mindset which he exhibits as a new player.

In June, Matt, who is of short stature, won the Stableford category of The PING Open on the EDGA schedule.

Matt says: “You would be surprised how good it feels just to be out in the fresh air, focusing on a little white ball; it silences everything else out that's going on in the world. If you can find a way to give it a go, you will enjoy the game, you will get to meet new people and it will open up a whole new world for you.”
