"No soup for you!" said the Soup Nazi to the Seinfeld folks. But in 1949 Mao Zedong told the Chinese "No golf for you!" as he banned the game as only for millionaires. So the Chinese president arrived at Mar a Lago without his clubs and there will be no friendly foursomes on the fairways this weekend. To follow the sport you will have to go to Augusta to watch the Masters play. Coincidentally, 1949 was the year the U.S. Lines vacated our Shanghai office just ahead of the agrarian reformers arrival. Capt. Jim Knowlton took the SS PIONEER DALE down the Yangtze River safely and I met him in Phila. later that year.
Welcome President Xi!
