Percy Belgrave Lucas, CBE, DSO and Bar, DFC (2 September 1915 – 20 March 1998), commonly known as Laddie Lucas, was a Royal Air Force officer, left-handed golfer, author and Member of Parliament (MP). ==Early and family life== He was born on 2 September 1915 in the old clubhouse at Prince's Sandwich Bay, Kent. Lucas was the son of Percy Montagu Lucas co-founder of Prince's Golf Club, Sandwich.〔http://www.princesgolfclub.co.uk/heritage-origins.php〕 His father died when he was aged 11. A company of Highlanders based nearby often inquired about "the wee laddie" when he was a baby, resulting in his nickname.〔 Lucas was educated at Stowe School, and Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he read Economics. While at Cambridge, he captained the golf team, was the top amateur in the 1935 Open Championship and was considered the finest left-handed player in the world at the age of 19. In 1946, Lucas married Jill Addison, the sister of Thelma Bader, wife of fellow flying ace Douglas Bader, of whom he wrote a best-selling biography. The couple had five grandchildren. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Laddie Lucas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
