James R. Purvis
Bag Room Manager Extraordinaire
extension 245
If you've ever played golf at Forest Hill Field Club then chances are you've met funny man Jim Purvis. It all started back in 2000 when Jim (aka Purv, aka The Purv) took his first job caddying at Forest Hill. Jim moved over into the bag room in 2002 and has been helping our members prepare for their round of golf ever since. That might include loading carts, cleaning clubs, setting up tournaments, scheduling staff, and/or otherwise assisting the starter. On slower days you can often find Jim going above and beyond, even running members cars to the car wash and all with a smile.
The rest of the time Jim has been focused on going to school for Business Management. He is thrilled to be graduating from Kean University this Spring. Jim's so proud that his younger sister, Liana, is also graduating in May from Montclair State. Jim and Liana lost their mother three years and have been on their own since. It's obvious that Jim's quiet strength, maturity and dedication are second only to his heart of gold.
Lucky for us, Jim plans to stay at The Hill for the remainder of the season before tackling his next endeavor in the Fall.
