1. When the Presidents Cup was last held in 2019, I didn't watch it all, but what I did watch was electrifying. Over the years, the USA has dominated this competition, but, in 2019, the International team was strong and the match was tight, with the USA coming from behind on Sunday to secure a 16-14 win.
Things have changed since 2019. Another golf tour has since emerged, the LIV (never referred to by name by the Golf Channel -- always called "the rival league"). Players who joined the rival league are not eligible to play in the Presidents Cup. This development weakened the International team more than the USA with the absence of Cameron Smith, Abraham Ancer, Joaquin Niemann, Mark Leishman -- and possibly others.
That the International team was weakened more than the USA team was on full display today.
The USA nearly swept the foursome matches, losing only one, and bolted to a 4-1 first day lead, demonstrating their superior talent and Presidents/Ryder Cup team play experience.
2. With the weather cooling off, I figured it was a good time to cook some curry for dinner. I like the yellow curry and decided to load up the sauce with Yukon potatoes, yam chunks, onion, and shrimp.
It worked.
3. I was going to cap my day by renting another Bette Davis movie, but changed my mind, realizing I was in the mood to watch another episode of Inspector Lewis. It was a doozy. Hathaway was on holiday to Kosovo. Lewis must work with a green assistant, DC Gray, recently promoted from uniformed officer, and there's been a corpse switch at the local funeral parlor. Out of this start to the episode a plot featuring any number of dead ends and hairpin turns develops. It was just what I wanted.
