Larry Nelson is both a friend and fellow member at Atlanta Country Club. Some 25 years ago, when he was in his prime and as we walked from the club's practice tee, I asked him if his goal was to become 'the greatest golfer of all time.' He reflected a moment and said...

"Well, maybe the greatest ever who began the game at age 21. "

Larry is a private man with private goals.

So far as I can tell, this one gets a checkmark.
