in asking the same question. My
answer still is a resounding no"
Suppose we roll back few pages
of golf and sporting history. You'll
find that to win is much-to compete
is even more.
In 1914. when Harry Vardon was
more than 40 years old, he won the
British open championship for the
sixth time, breaking all records.
1t was that year he cracked the
triple tie with John Henry Taylor and
James Braid. Many friends advised
him to quit at the top.
But Vardon loved golf. He was
not afraid of defeat. He continued
to play in British opens once year
until he was so or more.
And those 10 or IS successive fail
ures to win left no dent whatsoever
in Vardon's fame. He still was Harry
Vardon. He still is Harry Vardon.
