The Ryder Cup Golf Tournament is being contested this week in Minnesota pitting the best of the U.S.A. versus their counterparts from Europe. The late Arnold Palmer played in his first Ryder Cup match in 1961 representing our nation.
He said that when they played our National Anthem he had a lump in his throat and a tear in his eye. Fast forward fifty-five years and we have some American athletes exercising their first amendment rights by refusing to stand for our Anthem. Arnold Palmer died this week and I have a tear in my eye.
