I received a Facebook notice from Cissy Bryan Terlizzi that her Brother Jamey Bryan has passed away.
Jamey was one of our long time Golf Club Atlas contributers, and attended many GCA gatherings.
Jamey was a kind gentleman and gracious host to many of us. He was one of the most unassuming and surprising high quality golfers I had ever met. And, he could definitely hang in there late into an evening of enjoying some adult beverages only to show up on the first tee the next morning and shoot the lights out with an impressive round of golf.
I'm sure many of us who knew him have our own special memories.
RIP Jamey.

What terribly sad news. Jamey gave me the grand tour of Camden a few years back and we had a great time. He was quite the southern gentleman.
-
Just saw this on FB also. Nice guy, very funny, got to know him a little bit at a couple of Dixie cups, Hilton head thaw out events, and various other gatherings. Sorry to hear this sad news.
-
Damn. Sad news. Loved the time I spent with him.
-
My condolences to the family. I only knew him through Dixie Cup gathering, and have good memories of him.

RIP Jamey. Condolences to the family....

Met Jamey at the Hilton Head Thaw Out and reconnected the following year at the Myrtle Beach Thaw Out. We shared a few cool ones but I'll never forget him showing up at the Haig Point ferry with only seconds to spare with a Butterfinger and Bloody Mary in hand. A true Southern gentleman! RIP Jamey!
-
I hosted Jamey at Musgrove Mill a few years ago. I really enjoyed his company and we had such a great day that I was sad when it is over. I will hold his family in my prayers.
-
Very sorry to see this news. AEKDB Jamey.
-
Indeed, very sad news to hear of Jamey's passing. My condolences to his family & friends.
-
Jamey was a great guy to be around. I will always have fond memories of hanging out with him during the Thaw Outs over the years. Condolences to his family.

That good old song of Wah-hoo-wah–we’ll sing it o’er and o’er
It cheers our hearts and warms our blood to hear them shout and roar
We come from old Virginia, where all is bright and gay
Let’s all join hands and give a yell for the dear old UVA.
WAHOOWA, WAHOOWA
UNI-V, VIR-GIN-I-A
HOO-RAH-RAY, HOO-RAH-RAY
RAY! RAY! U-V-A!
RIP - Jamey

I'm sorry to hear about, Jamey. Terrible news.

Terribly saddened to learn of Jamey's passing. We've lost a good one, ladies and gentlemen. A true lover of the game, its history and the camaraderie of our sport. I've been looking through some photo albums this morning and am finding Jamey's smiling face throughout. First time I met Jamey was at my first GCA event, the Dixie Cup at LongShadow back in 2008. Dick Daley was in our foursome, along with Mike Christensen. What I remember most was his straw hat and that he played lights out golf.
I got to know him better at the Dixie Cup in Aiken, we had a few at the bar in the Hotel, along with Anthony Gray, DDS, ADD, GCA. Lots of laughs that evening.
Jamey was always one of the first to sign up to play in the Thaw Out, having made the trip to Myrtle Beach when we were at Whitty's house and that great Tavern, dubbed the PIT. Man that was fun. And the Hilton Head event, where, as Cheech mentioned above, Jamey's "breakfast of champions" became legend.
Here is a pic from one of the dinners on HHI, Jamey is sitting next to Mrs. Bogey Hendren:

And another, of our group at Haig Point. Jamey is right there in the middle:

Jamey had signed up to play in the upcoming Thaw Out on Hilton Head. I am certain our group will pay tribute to our friend as best we know how - by playing golf, sharing a few beers, laughing out loud, and definitely enjoying a breakfast of champions.
May he rest in peace.

I had a great time with Jamey when he hosted me at Camden CC on my way to Myrtle Beach. We had a great time that afternoon. Thanks Jamey, and Godspeed. May the Earth rest lightly upon you.

I got to know Jamey through the years of Southeast GCA Events, Dixie Cups, Thaw Outs as well a Ballyhack event several years ago. He was a great guy that didn't have a bad bone in his body. He liked to drink his whiskey, smoke his tobacco and play lots of golf.
I shared a cabin with Jamey at the Ballyhack event and can still picture him walking in with his large bottle of Makers, which was significantly less full by the time the weekend was over.
After golf one night a bunch of us were outside having drinks by the fire pit telling stories, and Jamey told perhaps one of the funnier stories I've ever heard, which involved him falling asleep on a Christmas Eve plane ride home in the back of a commuter jet, only to awaken to the plane being dark and empty. I believe he had to call 911 when have someone get him off the plane. I'm laughing out loud as I type this and can recall him telling the story.
We will certainly be sure to have several drinks in Jamey's honor this year at the Thaw Out.
-
I witnessed a 75 at Carolina Country Club when we Dixie Cupped there. RIP, Jamey. Sorry to see you go.
-
I remember playing a delightful round with Jamey and Mike Whittaker at the Patriot in South Carolina on the way to the Dixie Cup at Palmetto. Afterwards, we had a drink in the clubhouse and I was witness to Jamey's prowess as a storyteller. Jamey had a great zest for life, golf and whiskey. Here's hoping that in the afterlife he's teeing it up with a cocktail at the ready. Safe travels.
-
Jason, I heard that airplane story, too, and it was hilarious.
Jamey loved great golf courses and was very attached to Camden. I never made it to play there, despite his repeated invitations.
Jamey made a two on #11 during a George Cup (2011, I think), which was the clear highlight of a season-high score (high 80s, I think). He hit a lot of solid shots the few times I played with him.
His affinity for his alma mater was unmatched. I think of him as a happy, educated man and cannot picture him without a smile on his face.
Jamey knew that golf is a game to be played among friends. I'm thankful to have known him.

Great sentiment given the sad news. I also knew Jamey briefly, but all the comments were what I witnessed of him. Condolences and prayers for family and friends.
-
Jamey will really be missed.
-
Jamey was passionate about everything he chose to embrace, golf, UVA, Camden Country Club or a cocktail after golf.
I too remember Jamey telling us that story and howling along... "well it was Christmas Eve and I was on my way back ...."
RIP, WAHOOWA

Jamey was a great guy and a ton of fun. Condolences to his family and friends.

I too had the opportunity to get to know Jamey over the years at various GCA events and I always enjoyed my time with him.
Rest in peace, my friend. :'(

What I remember most was his straw hat and that he played lights out golf.
Ah, yes... the straw hat! We will miss you, Jamey.

Thanks to those who've shared photos from past Thaw Outs. I enjoyed being around Jamey at those events, as well as when he hosted me for a round at Camden. He was so proud of the place, and deservedly so. The golf world is lighter a merry soul now. RIP.
-
I played with Jamey at Longshadow as well and couldn't get over his voice... he sounded just like Verne Lundquist when he reacted to our opponents good shots.
I will also remember his sand wedge which was nearly groove less and as smooth as fine silver.
I will miss his sense of humor and wish I had played with him at Camden.
-
Sorry to hear the news. Met Jamey a couple of times at the Dixie. We played together at Ballyhack if memory serves correctly. A true gentleman. May god grant him peace.
-
Very sorry to hear. I shared a round and a few drinks with him at a few Dixies, always a smile. He will be missed.
-
Sad news indeed. I am glad to call Jamey a friend and I am better off for getting to know him.
Prayers to Jamey and his family.

Well, this sucks! I was just thinking of Jamey the other day. RIP.
-
Very sad news. Jamey will surely be missed. My condolences to his family.

Spent a lot of time with Jamey on a cart and in the clubhouse. He really loved golf
and I am sorry we lost touch the last few years. My favorite memory... trapped in
a villa at Ballyhack with Jamey snoring in the room to my left and Bill McBride / Lester
George hollering out by the fire they built in front of OUR cabin!
Played Mimosa, Carolina, Palmetto, Ballyhack and many others with Mr. Bryan. Class
act.
-
RIP Jamey...another great guy I would meet only through GCA and the number of great events planned here.
Was fortunate to get a great Dixie Cup tour from Jamey of his beloved Camden while dogfighting him to a tie giving 11 shots, and it was great to catch up with him each southern swing.
Also worth noting is that Jamey's laugh was clearly in the HOF of laughs!

If you had helped us finish that bottle of fine single malt you would have slept like a baby! 😜

heading to Camden on business this week and couldn't help thinking of Jamey and Camden CC. RIP. Very fond memories of an afternoon round and late evening in Camden with him.
Ironic the last post of this thread was from Bill McBride-RIP- who I first met at the Dixie Cup in 2004.

I met Jamey and McBride at the 2009 Dixie Cup in Aiken/Camden. I remember McBride singing every word of Luckenbach Texas in the bar of the Aiken Inn and Whitaker wanting to strangle Jamey at dinner. Still cracks me up.
Mark Pritchett and I needed an extra for a round at Hendersonville CC a few years before Jamey died. If you wanted to reach him you had to call Camden CC and leave a message. He filled in without hesitation and we had a great day.
RIP to pillars of GCA.

I wrote to Ran recently, suggesting that a hall of fame was precisely what this site needs. There are guys with whom I fought virtually, but they damned well deserve to be in the hall of fame. I'd like to see something like that take shape. As much as we have 147 Custodians that are courses, we also have contributors that are custodians.
