Q&a

SI: We hear going back to school is going to be expensive for some of your LPGA colleagues.

JG: I'd been thinking about it for at least 10 years, and it had become such a joke on tour that Amy Benz and Beth Daniel bet $1,000 that I'd never do it.

SI: What finally got you to do it?

JG: Last August I was driving in Tampa, where I live, when I saw a billboard for the University of South Florida. The next week I met with a counselor at the school, and he told me about a program for old people like me who want to finish their education.

SI: You attended Florida State but left early. What happened?

JG: Playing golf at Florida State began my career in golf but also ended my career in school.

SI: How bad was your GPA?

JG: All I'll say is that I want to redeem myself at Florida State by attending law school there.

SI: Have you gone to any frat parties at South Florida?

JG: I haven't been invited yet. They might think I was someone's parent crashing their party.
