The rest of the story goes that he did indeed play those five courses and he won his bet with the four sergeants who could make only one round each. I tell you all of this because I once played more than just one eighteen hole course in one day and what a thrill that was. I have thought about doing it again, but with golf being so popular now I would get bogged down along the way. But it s time we heard about golf from Bob Hope himself, as only he can tell it. This is Bob with a driver under my arm Hope here to tell you a little bit about the love of my life - golf, that is.
Golf is an international game.
I ve played all over the world, which means there probably isn t a country with a course in which I haven t three putted. One of the trips I remember most fondly was my lone appearance in the British Amateur. It was 1951 at the Royal Porthcawl course in Wales. I ve encountered elsewhere around the world. In Australia the winds nearly blew us off the golf course.
