"Looks like a Samsonite™ brief case which was molded plastic, not leather."
Correct, it was a presentation to me from the Optimist Club and proudly used it for many years, and have it in front of me now and still usable!
You will also see I had a good backup device...
That old picture is not weather related, but weather was certainly on my mind at the time as we got closer to the tournament day. I recall regularly watching the local TV news/weather and the forecasts in the newspaper in preparation for the golf day. No websites or weather services to view!
And notice the bottle... but I am not a drinking person!
Enjoyed,
Paul
