I am pretty sure I have it on a VHS tape.

I would certainly lend Tito you ... If I can find it!

That's very nice of you, Dan. My simple objective is to put the thing on the Internet. Isn't it crazy it's not online? Or is it?

I remember that speech, and thought it was very gentlemanly .  Now you've gone ahead and made me wish I could see it.

Thanks for the memory Mark. I fondly remember watching that live. It will be great if you can get it up on the internet. I will promptly have my children watch it.

Dan,

Awesome offer, thanks! I have sent you an email. I will get the video of Leonard's speech posted on the Internet. The youth of America deserve nothing less.

It would be great to see this speech when it is on youtube. Can you please let us know if and when it goes live Mark?

In the meantime, Faldo's 1992 effort at Muirfield will have to suffice - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XJppZfXopw
