Peter,
Indeed he was a heck of a player and an even better friend. Unfortunately, I was only able to play with Tom for just a few rounds at Pine Valley and he's only accompanied me briefly for some rounds at GM, mostly with my brother. It was only at the end of his playing career that we became friends. But boy could he swing a golf club.
The book has quite a bit of information about A. J. Drexel Paul, Tom's father Jimmy Paul and our 6-time club champion and winner of the A. J. Drexel Paul Cup, TEPaul himself. I'm still early on with my reading, but it's a fascinating account of this wonderful club.
