Welcome to our exciting new interview blog series, “Golf Journeys” where we delve into the stories of passionate golfers and their adventures on the greens. Through a captivating 5-questions interview, we aim to celebrate the joy, camaraderie, and inspiration that golf brings to our lives.
In this inaugural interview post, we are thrilled to introduce our first guest – the one and only Jimmy Tropicana, the esteemed owner of Tropicana Golf Club.
1- Hi Jimmy, how were you first introduced to golf?
Golf was on TV in my house when Lee Trevino and Chi Chi were playing. I loved seeing their clothes and the way they interacted. It looked like they were having fun.
2- We know golfers have their unique rituals and superstitions on the course. Do you have any quirky pre-game routines or lucky charms that you swear by?
I say 11 hail Mary’s and the Lord’s prayer. I immediately take 7 tequila shots and pray for forgiveness.
3- At Lambda Golf, we celebrate the love for golf and the joy it brings. Can you share a heartwarming golfing story or a funny golfing moment that happened to you on the course?
Just recently my friend Sammy Sosa made his first real birdie on the golf course. I expressed to him, “Great birdie, that’s the hardest hole on the course.” He replied, “Not for me”. We all laughed hysterically.
4- Every golfer has a “dream” golfing destination. If you could play a round of golf anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why?
I don’t have a dream destination. I try to enjoy every golf course because no matter where you play golf, you’re still playing golf, and that’s the best thing in the world.
5- What footwear model from Lambda Golf would you choose for that extraordinary experience?
All Lambda Golf shoes are dynamic in their presentation. They’re elegant and when I need to make a statement, I ALWAYS reach for the Lambda’s.
Bonus Question: If you could design a dream pair of golf shoes for yourself, what features would they have?
An all-white shoe, with a crocodile saddle. They might indict me for lookin too good. How youuuu dooooin?
Thank you Jimmy!
