Rafe discusses the 1969 Ryder Cup and Jack Nicklaus' concession of Tony Jacklin's final putt.  A discussion of the Ryder Cup competition and some Latin-based words starting with com- or col- or con- or cor- or just co- reveals that this event is a grand example of the real meaning of "competition", not the "conflict" into which so many sports, on all levels from little kids through professionals, have fallen.
