If You Can See It,

I Played High School Golf, I Played Amateur Golf And I Started Getting Officers. I Was Playing Pretty Good, Won Amateur Tournaments As A Junior, And The Whole Thing.

My Father Started On This Golf Course At Latrobe When He Was Sixteen Years Old. He Was Digging Ditches When They Were Building The Golf Course.

From The Beginning It Was Drilled Into Me That A Golf Course Was A Place Where Character Fully Reveals Itself -- Both Its Strengths And Its Flaws. As A Result, I Learned Early Not Only To Fix My Ball Marks But Also To Congratulate An Opponent On A Good Shot, Avoid Walking Ahead Of A Player Preparing To Shoot, Remain Perfectly Still When Someone Else Was Playing, And A Score Of Other Small Courtesies That Revealed, In My Father's Mind, One's Abiding Respect For The Game.

I Was Playing Cowboys And Indians In The Trees, And Then I Started Hitting The Golf Club With Clubs Father Sawed Off For Me, And I Began Playing Right Here With My Father.

All The Things That I Have Derived Either Directly Or Indirectly Through The Game Of Golf Are Things I Owe A Great Deal To The Game And To The People Who Support The Game.
