About – James McCarten
[photopress:JFM_afgh_1.jpg,full,alignleft]When James McCarten isn’t at the Toronto offices of The Canadian Press, where he works as Ontario news editor, he’s either on the golf course trying in vain to shrink his 6 handicap, dodging bullets on assignment in Afghanistan or putting off his latest freelance golf-writing gig to spend time with wife Lisa and school-age kids Claire and Lucas. With 14 years of experience in Canadian journalism, James writes a monthly golf column for Up!, the in-flight magazine for WestJet Airlines, and reviews books for Golf Canada magazine, the official publication of the Royal Canadian Golf Association. He also suffers from a financially crippling addiction to all things Scotty Cameron.
