Freshman Jonathan Grey is one of the Georgia State men’s golf team’s finest players.
His 71.67 stroke average during the fall was the best on the team and he won the Mason Rudloph Championship in Franklin, Tenn., his first collegiate tournament.
The Signal recently got a chance to sit down with the England native and he opened up about his time at Georgia State, living in Atlanta, and English football.
First tournament at Georgia State
I think I qualified fourth spot out of five people, so only just qualified really. Coach was building up my confidence for it. It was obviously a bit nerve racking, but I felt like I was ready to be there.
Expectations for the spring
We all feel like we’re good enough to make regionals, for a start. We’ve got the players we need. We just need everybody to do their thing at the same time. Individually, just keep doing what I’m doing and hope for a few more wins.
Dream course
The one for most golfers is Augusta. Obviously it’s pretty difficult to get onto, but one day maybe.
Language barriers
There are things I say which people don’t understand. Like trousers, for a start. Jumper is the main one. For us, a jumper is a sweater. Over here it’s like a short, vest combo thing, all in one, that girls wear.
Atlanta
I never grew up in the city. I’ve always lived away from urban areas, in the countryside or what not. It’s very busy and there’s a lot going on. It’s nice to live in the city.
