Born in the village of Kirkby-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire at the start of the Second World War, Roy Case was educated at the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Mansfield. He retired from the position of Managing Director of a large interior contracting company at the age of 55, subsequently devoting his time to his true passion of sport. After voluntarily serving England Golf for a number of years he was elected its President in 2008, and in the Millennium Year was presented with the Gerald Micklem Award for his outstanding service to amateur golf.

A keen follower of cricket, Case is a member of the Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club and the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. Other Publications include: The McGregor Story: The First Thirty Years. Many of the world's leading professional golfers competed in the McGregor Trophy as youngsters, and fondly remember the important part the tournament played in their development.
