The one thing that stayed constant (I made sure of it) was my on-course beverage. When I played in 2000, it was May and it was very cold. The nice Canadian gentleman I played with offered me a "hard lemonade" beverage that, at the time, I had not heard of. He said it would warm me up and, weighing less at that time, it actually did. Now, that beverage is quite well-known and, although the weather was warmer, I brought along a couple as a salute to my previous round, bridging the 19 year gap.
