Kim Swan undoubtedly was the most passionate of the speakers and presenters at the luncheon.

A former assistant manager of Ocean View, he paid tribute to his uncle the late Herman Bascome, the celebrated golf professional at Ocean View for many years before going to Port Royal Golf Club "in the evening of his life". It was there that he trained Kim, inspiring him never to forget the legacy of Ocean View.

Kim developed into Bermuda's most prodigious golfer. He participated in numerous amateur events at home and as a college student in the US such major amateur events as the 1974 Orange Bowl Junior Championship in Miami, Florida and two World Amateur Team Championships the Eisenhower Trophy competitions in Fiji and the United States

All of the above was accomplished by age 20, when Kim turned professional and went on to win three Bermuda Open Championships and qualifying for the PGA European Tour in 1980, competing for three years. In 1984 Kim partnered with fellow Bermudian Keith Smith to win the Americas Zone championship, the World Cup of Golf.

Kim, who is intensely modest about his accomplishments as a golfer, recognised that he was wearing two hats at the Memorial Luncheon Sunday, one as Leader of the Official Opposition Bermuda Party fully supportive of president Sherlock's efforts to keep alive the legacy to golf of Ocean View, and his other hat memorialising his Uncle Herman Become and such other stalwarts as the late Rogers Outerbridge and the Outerbridge family.

He summed up his sentiments by declaring that: "Without Ocean View there would not have been a Port Royal."
