GOLFER'S AMBITION
"I think I played some fine golf,” commented Bobby Locke, just prior to leaving London for South Africa, “and I shall fly from South Africa to England in 1940. There is an Imperial Airways service from Durban, and that will be my method of travelling next April. I promise you that if I win the British open title I will buy an aeroplane and fly it home to South Africa.”
Locke explained that he was keen on flying, and that he had done 25 hours' training in South Africa. “I have not flown during this trip because I did not know how it mixes with championship golf: but if I win the open next year I’ll feel like flying to the moon." Locke refused to be drawn on the subject of Cotton, saying lie preferred not to talk about it.
