Vernon and Ashley Jones are the owners / operators of Edwin Watts Golf Academy Birmingham. Ever since the age of seven when Vernon’s Father introduced him to the game, Vern has studied and loved golf. He has competed at every level from high school to professional. However, his passion has always been to teach.

Vernon’s dream came true in December of 2007 when Marc Fagan offered him and his wife ownership of the Birmingham location. Vernon has taught golf all across the state of Alabama. His career as a professional began at TimberCreek Golf Club in Daphne where he was able to study under Golf Digest top 100 instructor, Ron Gring. Quickly, Vernon established a student base and was well respected as a promising instructor in the Alabama Gulf Coast region. Vernon moved from TimberCreek to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail where he was able to continue teaching as well as conduct Junior and Ladies clinics. His friends and students alike have always been amazed by his ability to identify swing flaws without the use of high speed cameras and/ or swing analysis software.

What will impress you most about Vernon is his level of patience with each student and his unwavering desire to simplify the golf swing and teach the game of golf as he knows it. His Father told him growing up that he could learn everything he needed to about people simply by playing a round of golf with them. Vernon has never forgotten that advice and credits his Father and the great game of golf for his love for people and ability to communicate.

Vernon’s wife Ashley is his administrative assistant as well as EWGA’s cooperate marketer.
