By Paul Kenyon There might not be a pro golfer anywhere with an attitude quite like Tom Johnson's. For that matter, there are not many athletes in any sport who have gone through as much as Johnson has and have still been able to continue to compete. When you have survived a kidney transplant, as Johnson has, it changes your attitude about trying to make a 10-foot birdie putt. When you have undergone 17 operations for skin cancer in the last five years, as Johnson has, you don't fret about making a bogey as much as others might. When doctors say you should consider still more surgery, this time work that would cut open your face from your ear to your throat, which is the issue Johnson is dealing with today, you are better able to put golf in its proper perspective.
