Bermuda golfer Nick Jones doesn’t have any immediate plans to return home after moving from Florida to England in an effort to further his career and make a real run at qualifying for the British Open Championship.The professional golfer enjoyed encouraging results last year in his brief stint across the pond on the Challenge Tour, and confirmed his move to England after certain variables came into play including visa issues.Jones has now traded the sunny beaches and palm trees of Florida, where he was competing on the Moonlight Tour, for the grey skies of South England where he will compete on the Jamega Pro Golf Tour.Making adjustments to the weather conditions and spacious courses hasn’t been a smooth ride for the youngster, but it is a test he is relishing as he prepares to make a run at the Open.“For the past month I’ve moved completely to England and it is now my new home,” said Jones. “My recent results haven’t been up to my standard, truthfully they have been way below my standard.“My main goal this year is to again play in the European Q school at the end of the year and I have entered the Open Championship, so I’m waiting to hear where my qualifying for that is.“I don’t have any immediate plans to come back to Bermuda, although one event I may compete in is the Bermuda Open.“I moved to England, firstly, because of my result last year from the Q school when I got some events on the Challenge Tour which is a well known tour over here. I also have family over here and it’s nice to be around family members. My mum is English, and me being a Bermudian means I am also English.“Also, in America when you are not from there you tend to feel out of place sometimes as you know if you don’t have a special visa you can’t stay for a long periods of time.“I feel more welcome here, more free and I have some more options here, and the golf is just as good as long as the weather allows it.”Jones is still working on his mechanics as he competes 4,400 miles away from his coach who still resides in Florida, sending video footage via various sources to be critiqued.He is currently playing at Burghill Valley where he is tied for 62nd, after carding a 75 and 79 in two rounds.Although he is thousands of miles away, he still takes time to find out what is going on back in Bermuda, and is thrilled to see Dawyne Pearman’s current form while competing on the Jack Daniels Tour locally.“I’ve been working hard on my swing mechanics and trying to get my game back to the level where it was before, although I haven’t found any new coaches I still e-mail videos of my swing to my coach in America, but there is only so much you can do from so far away,” he said.“I am not worried that it will get back there, my father told me that every golfer has his rough patches and I am fighting my way through this one.“I saw that Dwayne Pearman shot the Jack Daniels record the other day and I’m glad to see that his game is still in good form.“I look forward to playing him and the rest of the Bermudian pros when I get back.”
