This in spite of the fact that he would pass away within the next 48 hours.
Douglas was born an illegitimate child in a poor part of England and raised by a single mom.
As a young man, he felt judged and carried with him the feeling of always having to prove himself, even going so far as to affect a posh, upper-class accent.
For Douglas, golf was the domain of the wealthy and sophisticated, and having his ashes placed on the 18th hole of his beloved golf course, an event that James says he probably envisioned being accompanied by bagpipes and artillery, would mean finally receiving his due.
But James is yet to honor his father's request.
It's now been 16 years.
Is it just procrastination?
No.
And so, the urn moved from mantles to closets.
For a long time, it even knocked around in the trunk of James' car.
It now sits on a shelf in his basement.
Do you think it would be a load off your head if you were able to spread the ashes?
Though it wasn't clear that he ever used them, Douglas had an entire room filled solely with golf clubs.
Having lived through the war, he also saved empty TV dinner trays, old microwaves, and broken radios that he'd find on the street.
Since the person I want to be is the person who helps people be the people they want to be, I asked James if he'd like me to help him lay his father's ashes to rest.
And James said, Yes.
Would you want to do that?
Yeah, of course I do.
The objective?
Infiltrate Douglas' fancy old golf course and scatter the ashes.
