Harry Scott, who will soon turn 80, is celebrating his birthday by going the world in six days, playing golf at each stop.
Scott loves golf and travel, so beginning Labour Day, his latest adventure will take him to six cities on six continents in six days, and he’ll do it all solo, playing some of the greatest golf courses in the world.
For the past 20 years, Scott, a widower and retired accountant from Ocean City, has pulled off a number of high-speed adventures, including attending 30 Major League Baseball games in all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums in 30 days. In 2012, Scott played 50 golf courses in 50 states in 50 days.
When asked why he does it, Scott smiled, looked down at his shoes and said, “It’s fun and I want to do it while I’m still young.”
“I don’t know where he comes up with these ideas,” said a long time friend of Scott, Bill Elliott.
Elliot described Scott as a popular, but unassuming gentleman with a quick smile. Scott sings in the church choir and serves on a board of the local medical centre.
“He just has a different idea of the meaning of the word ‘vacation,’” Elliott said.
