Let's start with Bendelow first, no one did more for golf in the US than him.

I think sports, especially golf, can be a great healer/unifier for society. With the news that North Korea may enter the 2018 Winter Olympics:

It would be cool to see golf penetrate a country like North Korea, Syria, or similar in 2018.
