Jim cast a long, impressive, and colorful shadow on Philly golf and beyond. His writing, in works both big and small, had depth, insight and a flair unique to the man he was. The GB&I offerings are among my most well-worn golf books. I have also given additional copies as gifts, or lent my copies to friends preparing for their treks.
Many posters, and all who knew him, recognize the absolute love affair with the game he enjoyed and shared with countless folks during his rich life. Jim was also a caddie at one time...imagine that. Wonder where the bug that infected him came from?
Yet another shining example of the " quality" that single, greatest source of golf's champions and difference makers helped mold. Food for thought.
My sympathy to his family, and a tip of the flag from a fellow caddie.
Farewell Jim, and thank you for all you contributed to the game and the many lives you touched.
Respectfully,
Kris
