Rosa Jones is the Assistant Golf Professional and Youth Program Coordinator for the I Am a Golfer Foundation. Born in Long Island, New York to PGA Professional Rich Jones, Rosa has been submerged in the game of golf since she was a child. “I’ve had a club in my hand since I was basically 3 years old.” Rosa has played golf at the collegiate level for Franklin Pierce University and Howard University’s Inaugural women’s golf team. During her time at Howard, she earned her master’s in public health, and held the title of Minority Leadership Initiative (MLI) Future Leader. There she began to see more athletes who looked like her playing the game.

 

It wasn’t until Howard that her passion for golf was strengthened, and she wanted to further diversify the game. “In order to see change, it’s important to get involved in areas where you may not initially feel included.” She acknowledges that business networking often excludes women and people of color in golf and she is committed to making the sport more inclusive, finding new ways to play, and welcoming faces from all over to the game. Finding her way to Cedar Crest felt natural as it aligns with her love for golf and persistence in getting others involved.

 

Outside of golf, Rosa enjoys hitting the gym and exploring new things to do wherever she is! She always finds ways to stay active and takes on life with a positive mindset.
