QUESTION: Thanks, where can I see more information on JD? even with the correct name it is hard to gather info.
Thanks again Tony
Answer Tony, good to hear back. That's a tough one. I was able to gather what little is out there from good 'ol Dad...once he told me the last name, I simply googled him. He only remembered that many thought his swing was the most natural of those days which seems consistent with your original email. I only learned that he had won the Canadian Open a couple of times among some smaller tournaments. Dad also thought that he had written a book after the prodding of his contempories finally convinced him. I'm sure that would tell a much better story if it's still out there. I'll keep checking. Until then, take care.
