In this third of a four-part interview with Peter Dawson, listen in as he recounts his early days as Secretary of the R&A. Peter gives us insights into the private club that is the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews and how it differs in purpose and mission from the R&A Companies, formed in 2004, as the world-wide counterpoint to the USGA, which governs golf in the United States and Mexico. He remembers the significant accomplishments of his term including spearheading golf's return to the Olympic Games, overseeing the 250th anniversary celebrations of the Club, the re-write of the Rules of Golf, the commercial growth of the Open Championship and the welcoming of women members into the R&A. We conclude with a review of Open Championship history as Peter Dawson continues his life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
