Jasper is a Cannuck from Saskatchewan, who moved to the UK and rekindled his love for the game of golf through the auspices of the designs of James Braid, Harry Colt and Tom Simpson.
He has developed the Evalu18.com website from scratch to uncover hidden golfing gems and a resource that golfers can tap into to hone the search for what they deem to be desireable from a facilities and architectural perspective.
Jasper also supports the golf design community in uncovering the design heritage of specific clubs to aid ongoing historical renovation and restoration projects.
