Shirty golfer

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Some years ago I acquired a shirt from a discount shop when I bulk-bought a load of summer shirts.
I have never worn it.
A few days ago, we were packing for a trip away and I thought it would suit the weather. Within the trip, I specifically decided to wear that shirt today.
Having put the shirt on, I sat to catch up with my Facebook feed. A local organisation had posted an link to video item that was broadcast on ITV yesterday. It was a celebration of a local tourist golfing attraction, Brown’s in Sandown on the Isle of Wight. It opened 86 years ago having been designed by the most famous golfer in the world.
The long-neglected shirt I was wearing was branded Henry Cotton.
The designer of Brown’s Family Golf Course was, of course, Henry Cotton.
