Glenn Jones, a seasoned journalist and avid golfer, was born in Bermuda and currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts. His journey to Boston stems from a professional opportunity in 2021, marking his return to Massachusetts after having lived there for 15 years earlier in his career. At 47-years-old, Glenn is married to Camille Jones, his supportive partner of 13 years, with whom he shares a son. Camille’s encouragement, whether by inquiring optimistically about his games or supporting his passion for the sport, has been a cornerstone of Glenn’s golfing pursuits. “When I get home, she always optimistically asks if I won,” he shares with a laugh. “I almost never win.”
Professionally, Glenn anchors the news for NBC Boston, a role he has excelled in for over a decade. His educational background in broadcast journalism from Emerson College laid the foundation for his successful career in television. Golf has always been a part of Glenn’s life, with roots tracing back to his childhood in Bermuda. Growing up near Port Royal Golf Course—now home to the PGA’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship—he and his friends learned the game while navigating the course on their way to school.
“The game has taught me patience and resilience,” he reflects. “It’s about showing up, embracing the challenge, and finding joy in the journey.”
Though Glenn does not currently belong to a formal golf club, he was once a member of Tucker’s Point Golf Club in Bermuda. His handicap of +12 reflects his commitment to the sport, even as he humorously admits to struggling with his short game and a slow rate of improvement. Charity tournaments and weekend outings with friends keep his competitive spirit alive, and his unique approach to handling golfing challenges—embracing the camaraderie and fun of the game—is as refreshing as it is relatable.
In addition to his professional and sporting pursuits, Glenn actively engages with his audience, often intertwining his love for golf with his on-screen presence. Whether forecasting the weekend weather or inspiring others to embrace golf’s joys, Glenn brings passion, humor, and authenticity to all he does.
