Charlie Boswell has always been a great hero. He has inspired thousands of people to rise above circumstances and live out true meaning of life.

He was blinded during World War II while rescuing his friend from a tank that was under fire. He was a great athlete before the accident. In order to prove his talent and determination, he decided to try a brand new sport, a sport he never imagined playing, even with his eyesight – golf! Through determination and a deep love for the game he became the National Blind Golf Champion! He won that honor 13 times.

One of his heroes was the great golfer Ben Hogan, so it truly was an honor for Charlie to win the Ben Hogan Award in 1958.

Upon meeting Ben Hogan, Charlie was respectful and stated that he had one wish and it was to have one round of golf with the great Ben Hogan. Mr. Hogan agreed that playing a round together would be an honor for him as well, as he had heard about all of Charlie’s accomplishments and truly admired his skills.

“Would you like to play for money, Mr. Hogan?” asked out Charlie.

“I can’t play you for money, it wouldn’t be fair!” said Mr. Hogan.

“Aw, come on Mr. Hogan…$ 1,000 per hole!”

“I can’t, what would people think of me, taking advantage of you and your circumstance?” replied the sighted golfer.

“Chicken, Mr. Hogan?”

“Okay,” replied the embarrassed Hogan, “but I am going to play my best!”

“I wouldn’t expect anything else,” said the confident Boswell.

“Now that you’re on. Mr. Boswell, you name the time and the place!”

The very self – assured Boswell responded, “10 o’clock … tonight!”
