He won the British Amateur Championship in 1946 and many other National Championships, before an injury brought a premature end to his illustrious amateur carrier. Jimmy was renowned for his distance off the tee before technology was even dreamt about. A visit to his home club Muskerry will leave the visitor in no doubt about the achievements of this great man.
