Late on a spring Sunday afternoon in 1997, a first stopped to greet a first. The young man had been walking fast, en route to Butler Cabin at Augusta National Golf Club to be given a green jacket, the first man of color to slip into that unique shade. The older man, 22 years prior, had been the first African American to play in the Masters. He got a speeding ticket on his way to watch Tiger make history. The fine was worth it. Tiger Woods and Lee Elder hugged amid the tumult along a corridor of cheering spectators, the excitement of a new day in a golf that was a long time coming.
Very nice Bill. Many thanks. Glad to see you are back at the desk and fighting fit (or getting there) again.
