A graduate of RITC, the Rochester Institute for the Technically Challenged, Jim has enjoyed a respectable career with the Eastman Kodak Company doing something but no one seems to know exactly what. Jim is one of the more consistent players on the tour, that’s why it was no surprise to see him win last year’s Nutone. His consistent play always makes him a favorite in the majors however his appetite off the course has usually left him on the outside looking in, it’s tough to play early in the morning when you’ve had 5 or 6 Manhattans the night before. Last year however, armed with only determination, a belly full of beer and an inflated handicap, due in most part from continuous whining about how he has to get one more stroke than Hozman, Jim shocked the golf world and won the Nutone by one stroke. Not a convincing victory but a solid performance none the less. With his new handicap courtesy of the re-rate committee, and the fact that he’s still celebrating, I wouldn’t look for Jim to finish too strong this year.
