Description
For golfers, Gordon Brown and Admiral Lawrence Chambers, age is just a number.
"I'm 87 years old!" says Brown as the crowd cheers behind him.
Admiral Chambers is 94 years old, but you can’t tell by his swing. "I got good at one time. At this age, it's just a matter of a fact if I can stand up and hit," Admiral Chambers laughs. "It is a good deal."
Brown was the first African American to win the Camp Leroy Johnson All-Infantry Golf Tournament in 1962 and Admiral Chambers was the first African American to command a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier.
They both played at the Singing Hills Golf Resort Monday, June 19 in an annual tournament named after them (Admiral Chambers and Gordon Brown Sr. 13th Year Golf Invitational) to support the non-profit San Diego Inner City Junior Golf Foundation founded by Brown and his son.
