I recently found out that Jamie spence is one of my schoolmates dad !
What do you think of him ? I've seen him many times on sky sports and think he's okay, but was he a good golfer ? :)

He won the Alfred Dunhill at St Andrews for England when it was a team event in the early 90's with Steve Richardson and David Gilford. Think he also won a couple of individual events.
 
He was in the year above me at school in Tunbridge Wells and also a member of my first golf club - The Nevill.
Good bloke - use to have a renowned short game and putting stroke. Won twice on tour - the first one at Crans sur Sierre where he shot a final round 12-under par 60 to storm past Monty, Anders Forsbrand and others. His second win was in Morocco, I think in 1999. Had a half-decent chance of making the Ryder Cup team in 1993 I think, but got disqualified from a tournament he was leading in Italy when still in with a shout of making the tean for taking a wrong drop - got 'shopped' by some TV viewer!
 
Could possibly be described more as a journeyman than a top notch player, but extremely erudite and always talks a lot of sense. Also not afraid to tell it as it is - my kind of guy.
