...Until around 1900, golf was inhibited by Man's fundamental distrust of flight. Golfers believed that the walking game must also be terrestrial, and the best shots were hit low to the ground. This was particularly true in wind-battered Carnoustie, where nothing in the air is safe.

Campbell regularly enters competitive races to raise money for leukemia research (his best friend and his best friend's daughter died of the disease). One check he keeps as a souvenir came...

Both were once heavy drinkers, both now abjure the bottle.
