We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!
Indeed sad loss. Good guy, was lucky to have met him around town once, formidable person with a strong presence of character. He did nearly hit me in a buggy once on the New course too but no way I dared to pull him up on it.
This is a really good but long interview with him that’s worth a watch, I was a little surprised digging it out again as it’s not been viewed all that much.
Indeed, very sad! Even simply because he was younger than me! He was quite a good golfer too - off 5 or 6 when I had a bit of contact with him a number of years ago (memorable for me, but highly unlikely to have been for him).
30 odd years ago, I was a bored accountant, and saw a job advert in Golf Illustrated for European Tour referees/ tournament officials. I was interviewed at Wentworth by Andy McFee and John Paramor. Enjoyable day, they both seemed to be decent blokes. I didn't get the job!
RIP John Paramor. The warmth in all the tributes show the respect that the world of golf had for you.
