After winning the 8-AAAAA region title, and shooting a record 287 as a team, Red Elephant boys golf coach Bryson Worley is looking for big things from his team during the state tournament on May 16 at Bartram Trail Golf Club.
“We have increased the intensity and focus on our preparation and study for Bartram Trail, the course where the AAAAA State Tournament will be held,” said Worley, who is married to Allison and has two children. “Having some familiarity with the course from 2014, we’re getting the guys ready for the types of shots and strategy we’ll need to perform well. We’ll take some trips down in the coming weekends to get in some extra practice rounds.”
In the meantime, the team will play in the 8-AAAAA sectionals on May 2 in McDonough.
We recently caught up with Worley, who is an assistant principal at Gainesville High and longtime Hall County resident, to find out a little more about his interests and love of Hall County.
Question:Â What is the best part about Hall County?
Answer:Â “Outside of having the mountains and the lake together, it’s definitely the people! Allison and I have made many great friends here and found the perfect community to raise a family and spend our lives.”
Q:Â When did your love for golf begin and which players inspire you?
A:Â “My brother and I fell in love with the game when our Dad took it up. I was 10 years old and have been hooked ever since. Actually, my former, current and future players inspire me. I enjoy seeing them reach their goals in their lives; golf-related or not, and enjoy watching my current guys grow. Knowing I have guys coming that will have similar passion and dreams keeps me going!”
Q: Even for friends and some family, what is something about you that not everyone knows?
A: I was pretty mischievous growing up. I once tied my kindergarten teacher’s shoestrings together under her desk during naptime. That was the first event of many that I got in trouble. I was later voted Class Clown my senior year in high school…my former teachers think that it’s hilarious that I’m now an Assistant Principal.”
Q:Â Where could you eat for a week in Hall County? And if you could take anyone to lunch, dead or alive, who would it be and where?
A:Â “Oh, easy, Longstreet and El Sombrero for dinner,” he said. “I usually get asked about my dream foursome, so I’ll have three at lunch with me at Longstreet: My late grandfather, the late Chris Mance and Jesus Christ. I think that’d be a lunch I’d hope would last a long time. All three have had a huge influence in who I am today.”
Q: Where do you hope to be in five years, 10 years?
A:Â “In five years, I hope to still be coaching golf at Gainesville High School and hopefully making a difference in the lives of the youth of our community every day at GHS. In 10 years, I’ll be getting close to retirement from the education world and I hope to spend some time traveling with Allison and concentrating on my golf game for a change!”
