STORM CENTER: Family matters in golf

First off, I’d like to say “thank you” to those of you who sent me well-wishes through Facebook this week.
My aunt, Sandy Viccaro Scully, died from injuries she sustained in a car-person accident on Wednesday in Connecticut.
Sandy was a beloved person throughout my life, during telephone and social media conversations.
She was the one who enjoyed taking me to Hubbard Park in Meriden, Conn., where I would shoot hoops during my salad days. She also didn’t mind telling me when I was up past my bedtime, too.
I dedicated Thursday’s District 3A-9 track and field coverage in her honor. It’s so tough losing someone you are closer to, even if you are 1,722 miles away in another time zone.
Speaking of childhood, another one of my treasured memories was watching The Masters with my late grandfather, Nicholas Viccaro, Sr.
We have entered Masters week, and it’s as they say in radio and television spots, “a tradition unlike any other.” The tournament takes place at the legendary Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, which runs a pristine-yet-difficult 7,435-yard layout.
As is tradition, the defending champion serves as host for the Masters Club dinner on Tuesday night during tournament week. Read more in the April 9 Bowie News.

Here are select menu items served every day at The Masters golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. Look at that affordable pricing, and see the traditional pimento cheese sandwich. (Courtesy photo)
