Jim Chapman – 'I'm so proud I'm about to pop'

Make it a Great MondayThis is a must-read if it inspires you to see creative professionals in their eighties doing amazing work! Also, for golf nuts like me who admire Bobby Jones and the game’s history. Jim Chapman is the grandfather of my son-in-law, Taylor Wilkinson. He is also a prolific Autodesk software user!

Jim Chapman paused midway up the hill and soaked it all in for a minute. Chapman is on the closing holes of a brilliant career as an architect, someone who has specialized for years in clubhouse construction and renovation. He has been associated with some of the nation’s most iconic clubs, among them Congressional Country Club outside of Washington and Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania.

But there is something special about the Bobby Jones project for Chapman, who grew up in Atlanta and understands the importance of the Jones name and legacy.

“I’m so proud, I’m about to pop!” . . .

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.
