Jim was a friend of mine. we played a lot of golf together,mostly as an opponents because of our handicaps. probably played 500 matches against him...I won 12. I have fond memories of Jim and the 7th hole at the Iron Horse country club. The 7th hole is a par 3 ,150 yards over a lake to a over sized green.I remember Jim lining up a two foot putt and taking a long time to do it. We told Jim the hole was over, the putt was good, he insisted on finishing the putt, it was for an 8. he missed...
