Billy Radebaugh was hoping to break par, not become a hero. Then an enjoyable round of golf in Scotland turned into a numbing call for survival that the Columbus businessman never asked for but felt compelled to answer.
Heroism is not something to be sought. Quite the contrary. If possible, it is to be avoided, because to save the day means the day first needed to be saved. A child requires rescuing from a burning house. A heart attack victim needs immediate CPR. Better that no heroics are ever needed than for someone to have to step in and tamp down potential tragedy.
