reflections on a game

I have to say I enjoyed the golf last night. Ted is always good company, and he knows his golf, so he made sure I knew what was happening and his enthusiasm was infectious. I have to give credit to the BBC, whose coverage was excellent, so even a newcomer like me could keep up and feel enthralled. It's a strange, simple game really. It seems to be a nice, easy way for unfit people to make millions. The strangest thing about yesterdays tournament - the US Masters - was the prize at the end. After 4 days of combat, proving himself the worthiest amongst his fellows, does the winner receive a glittering trophy laced with jewels? No, he does not. He wins a GREEN JACKET. I'm not joking - you can look it up online. These guys go through Hell and High Water in pursuit of a piece of clothing.
Only in America...
