The time he spent in the trenches in world war one.
Which, of course, links this back to the thread that compares the movie to the Bhagavad-Gita of the Mahabharata. Arjuna (analog to Rannulph Junah = R. Junah) is a warrior, and an archer of uncommon skill, who is reluctant to join in battle, as he has seen too much destruction. The Lord Krishna reminds Arjuna that it is his duty to do battle to uphold righteousness.
This movie would have been so much better if it had maintained the frame from the book, which wraps around the story of the exhibition. Hardy Greaves is a grown man, with a successful medical practice as well as a few golf trophies, who counsels a younger man who is ready to give up on both medical school and golf. The last 40 pages of the book is actually the real soul of the story, and it is a true pity that Robert Redford and his screen-writers didn't see that point. If you've not read the book, you can't understand the movie at all, because the movie, as good as it is in it's own way, misses a lot of the point of the story.
