Good will pervades atmosphere after Sept. 11

Phil Mickelson playing pool. Tiger Woods, who calls himself a “double-digit” handicapper in Ping-Pong, taking on all comers. Curtis Strange popping in a videotape of comedian Robin Williams doing a rift on the game of golf in his best Scottish brogue.

Williams’ monologue Tuesday night was such a hit with the U.S. team that Strange decided to show it to the Europeans.. So the American captain wandered over to his opponents’ team room, knocked on the door and stayed around as they all dissolved in laughter, as well.

**EXCELLENT!**

Maybe now everyone will remember what the Ryder Cup Matches are about: a friendly team golf match between the best players from the US and Europe… with emphasis on **friendly**!

Let the games begin!
