SINCE the age of three in 1985, Jameica Duncombe said golf was all she knew, as her father, the late Jim “Jungle” Duncombe, introduced her to the sport and she went on to become the country’s top female player.
On Sunday, through her profession as a critical care nurse after officially retiring from the sport, the married mother of a son was able to help her National Sports Hall of Fame father to enjoy his final days before he passed away on Sunday at the Cleveland Clinic in Port St Lucia, Florida.
Duncombe, 77, died of prostrate cancer, but his 38-year-old daughter said the memories they shared will linger on forever.
