"Rub of Green" is a golf term used to describe bounces a golf ball
takes when it comes back to earth after its short flight. Sometimes
the bounces are good, and sometimes they are bad. Tom Jensen felt
the same about life, there are good and bad bounces, you just have
to deal with the results.
His life changed in an instant due to circumstances beyond his
control. Jensen's life was simple and fun, and full of passion for
golf. He learned to caddy at a young age and became an accomplished
golfer, winning junior and shoolboy tournaments. His future was
bright and his focus was clear. Everything changed when the United
States entered the war in Europe and after the Japanes bombed Pearl
Harbor.
Like millions of other his age, Jensen joined the Army. After 23
months of battling the Japanese in the South Pacific and receiving
a battlefield promotion at the age of 20, his future changed
forever in a jungle clearing on the island of Luzon.
This is the story of how Tom Jensen dealt with the bad bounces
life can have, and how he realized his dream and helped others
realize theirs.
