It was a great day for the Bard's Day this year! July 23 was warm and clear. The golf tournament saw Rich Garland defending his title as over 13 Champion and ML win her first solo Under 13 bragging rights! I was back to my normal form, providing a scoring foundation for everyone else to build on!
The play was the Merchant of Venice. Unfortunately, this is one of the few Shakespeare plays that has NOT stood the test of time the way so many of the Bard's classics have. The sentiments about religion in the play defy today's sensibilities. Never the less, this play is important from an historical view, to study and see how society's views have changed! It just doesn't make for entertaining theater anymore.
The Barbecue was as delicious as usual with great sides donated by attendees! It was a fun day for all! All ended well, and All's Well That Ends Well!
