Golf GETTING Personal...
Jim Brown - Cambodia and Goa are an attraction, as is Mrs B apparently!
Who are you? Jim Brown, Golf Courses & Estates Manager, De Vere Cameron House - The Carrick on Loch Lomond.
Family status? Married to Judith with one son, Daniel.
Who’s your hero and why? I don't have any heroes now as my last one fell from grace - Lance Armstrong.
What would you change about yourself? I hate having to wear glasses.
What is your guilty pleasure? Smoking.
Glass half full or half empty? Full to overflowing!
What do you drop everything for? Mrs B. Climate change - fact or fiction? Fiction.
If you could go anywhere right now, where would it be? There’s a beach right at the northern tip of Goa overlooking the Arabian Sea and the Tiracol River - right there would do nicely.
What is the best part of your job? The challenge.
And the worst? Negative people.
Do you have a lifetime ambition? To appear on the front cover of Pitchcare.
Who wouldn’t you like to be? I wouldn't like to be a negative person.
Favourite record, and why? Holidays in Cambodia - The Dead Kennedys. Great lyrics, great band and takes me back to a period of misspent youth.
Who would you choose to spend a romantic evening with? Mrs B every time.
If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do? Go to that beach in north Goa and plan my retirement. I don’t think there are any golf courses in Goa. Hmmmm, now there’s a thought ...
If you were to describe yourself as a musical instrument, what would you be and why? A tuba - not the most attractive instrument but makes a lot of noise

What do you do in your spare time? I enjoy cycling, having a beer or two and sleeping.

feeding is so much easier with my Toro 5800 - it’s my precious.
What three words would you use to describe yourself? Patient, tolerant and forgiving ... oh, and honesty.
What talent would you like to have? I would like to have the ability to play the guitar, and to be able to see without my glasses. In fact, I would like to play the guitar without having to wear glasses - and playing Holidays in Cambodia by The Dead Kennedys ... Yeah!
What law/legislation would you like to see introduced? Bring back the death penalty for people who do not repair pitch marks - scourge of the fine turf planet.
