Mother's Day in Africa a time for reflection for visitor to Ghana

Closing of Fort Lanes leaves sadness but great memories
The news that Fort Lanes would be closing its doors permanently later this month brought back a flood of good memories. I spent many hours at what was Park Lanes back in my youth, trying to become the next Marshall Holman or Mark Roth.

The Masters search for Judy Bell ends
So my search for Ms. Bell ceased today. I started out early this morning with rain hanging over Augusta National, but the rules officials were on the course and ready for the day’s action, and I happened to run into the same fellow, John from England, who had been so helpful yesterday with my search, even offering to escort me to a USGA cocktail party, an invitation I declined.

Maneuvering through Masters traffic
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Sorry for the delay — traffic on the course can be brutal. Seriously, when you are at the mercy of a small army wearing yellow construction hats telling you when and where to walk and strictly enforcing the no-running rule, you can easily lose track of time.

Masters now under way
AUGUSTA, Ga. — It started under a cloak of fog normally reserved for the British Open, but we are under way here at the 72nd Masters.
