Today, at the 7th green, we toasted Roy.
Sven did the honours..........
............and Sandro, our fill-in who is now our new member, took our picture as we said goodbye to our dear departed friend.Jameson's it was, as Roy would wish it.---------------------------------------
I had a nice message from Rada Buckley that she had also toasted Roy with Jameson's, but her message came at 9:21 this morning! Really Rada, we waited until 10:30 - much more civilized!

The championship match was a mixed success.
In stroke play, the White Knights, Sven and I.......
took three less strokes than the Red Devils, Matt and Ron King (i.e. we won the popular vote)............
...but they were much more efficient at spreading out their shots and in match play they closed us out with five holes to play (i.e. the electoral college). Just as unfair in golf as it is in politics! But, congratulations go to the victors, who succeeded despite our best trash talk.
Our other foursome, Sandro, Calvin, Al Knapp and Ron Leach.
Beautiful weather, golf with great friends, and Roy was taking practice swings and looking down on us. A fine day!

Last night I listened to Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic Convention. Tonight I caught Jill Biden's speech. Both very powerful.
I find it almost impossible to understand how Trump can still hang onto over 40% of the U.S. population after the way he has behaved.

Stay well. Stay positive.
