On Monday morning one received an e-mail from the said Flor Butler. This caused momentary confusion in the gol"ng home and gol"ng dome.

Surely, they don't have email in heaven?

A reply was sent, apologising.

Well, yes, but also rejoicing that Mr Butler still lives, is well and in good enough form to write to friends old and new. May he enjoy many happy golfing days and hopefully a full pardon will be granted when we meet along the fairway of life.
