Jim McGivern's BLOG, newsletter, announcement--whatever...

Jim describes himself as an "old cargo pilot" because there is a great joke about cargo pilots, though he flew hundreds of thousands of passengers during 40-some years with United Airlines and the Military Airlift Command (in those days called MATS--Military Air Transport Service--but more often referred to by pilots as "Might Arrive Tomorrow Sometime." Look for the cargo pilot joke buried somewhere in his BLOGs (but I wouldn't spend too much time looking).

  • Apologies to those who are interested only in real estate and/or his supposed "interesting stuff." One BLOG slipped in there (Aug., 2008) as a promotion for an internet affiliate. Jim is still trying to figure out how to filter that out to those who signed up for "other than promotional stuff." Feel free to skip that sucker.
An amazing vacation/holiday GOLF offer. Even if you don't play golf (yet), it's a bargain! Good anytime of year.

Do you play golf? How about a great vacation with free instruction from "JimGives Vacations?"

I am a retired airline captain named, "Jim" and I "worked--globe-hopping" my last commercial flying years all over Europe, the Middle and Far East. My wife and I are golf lovers and we have played the game virtually all over the world. We now operate "personalized golf vacations" in the U.S.--priced very reasonably. For example: We can pick you up at Orlando or Tampa, Florida. You will stay in our 3-bedroom/3-bath home and play our private, 45-hole (Tom Fazio-designed) championship golf course for one week (or less, pro-rated on number of rounds).  We've belonged to this super club for 16 years and "we're here to stay."  Come and see why.  We normally live and sell real estate here, but there's absolutely no obligation (or sales presentation) to stay and play.  Read on:

You may wish to use of our BMW X-5 SUV to spend a day or more at Disney World or anywhere elso in Florida--even Georgia or other nearby states, if you like, but we know you would love our "Top-100-in-the-World" and "Number-One Rated" Florida golf community in Lecanto, near Beverly Hills, Florida. For example, you may play golf nearly every day, if you like, for a mere USD $1,795.00, which includes local auto transportation, lodging (seven days) and green fees for five days; 2-persons pay a total of USD $2,895.00. This is a limited-time opportunity to introduce our vacation offer and we would hope for your recommendation to friends or associates when you've become a happy holiday visitor. We know you will be. We can supply a few past very positive reviews. Many pros (Tiger Woods included) have played BDR and have only wonderful things to say about their experience.

Give us an idea of what you might like to do (you can be extremely flexible) and we will quote a very reasonable price. If you wish, we can arrange to fly you nearly anywhere in the U.S., once here and play the very best courses country-wide for very little more. You pay for your own air (we can arrange discounted airfare) and we will handle the car rentals and all the rest--tee times, lodgings, great restaurants, etc. Simply tell us where you would like to visit or play and we will do the rest (e.g.: Las Vegas, Arizona, Pinehurst, S.C.). We will do all the driving as well, if you wish.

This offer is limited to two people maximum at these rates. Add 20% over quoted rate for an additional couple accompanying you. Either I, or my wife and I both, will accompany you as your personal travel agents, if you like, depending entirely on your wishes. Our handicaps are: mine, ("Captain Jim's")-7; wife, "Laney's"-12. You may also wish to be introduced to our many "foreign" member-friends at our club (e.g. Canadian, Asian, Indian--we call them "snowbirds," who spend their winters here, but many are "year round"). Certainly, our many local full-time members will welcome you, as well. Our club is multi-ethnic and multi-racial. Everyone loves www.BlackDiamondRanch.com. Look it up, come and enjoy! Just write: JimGives@gmail.com and/or reply here for much more information.

Black Diamond is very proud to say that we have received praise from many Members and guests alike. Here are just a few words of praise we have received to date:

"The 15th hole on the Quarry Course may be the most beautiful hole in Florida."

Corey Pavin, PGA Tour


"Living and working in Tampa, I entertain my best clients at Black Diamond, and they love it. I really enjoy the members and the unhurried, hastle-free lifestyle. And I don't mind the ride at all, myself."

Casey Weldon, Member


"Black Diamond is a fun-loving community with beautiful homes and generous homesites. And Black Diamond golf is the best in Florida."

Bruce Lauer, Member


"Black Diamond's Quarry holes are the five best consecutive holes of golf in the world."

Dan Jenkins

"I've been around a lot of golf courses and people, and there's not a better place in the world for golf or friends than Black Diamond. If there was I'd be there. It's among the top 10 golf communities in the country...no doubt about it."

Tommy Bolt, US Open Champion


"Every course is special, but I guess you could say that the Quarry Course was one of the milestones in my career."
Tom Fazio
Golf Course Designer
