James Thompson Washington County News USA TODAY NETWORK

FORT WALTON BEACH — In a bid to ensure Florida's 2020 presidential electoral map reflects the 2016 balloting that saw Republicans in Northwest Florida help propel Donald Trump to a victory in the state over Democrat Hillary Clinton, a number of Trump surrogates have been on the road in the northern part of the state this week. "Team Trump on Tour" — the name emblazoned on the big red bus making its way across the area — made a Tues- day afternoon stop at AJ's on the Bayou with Kimberly Guilfoyle, former Fox News host and current girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., on board. Also on the bus were Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, a staunch Trump supporter who represents Northwest Florida in Congress; former acting U.S. Attorney General Matt Whitaker, a Trump ap- pointee, and political activist Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union. The tour stop in Fort Walton Beach, part of a Gainesville-to-Pensacola road trip that wraps up Wednesday in Pensa- cola, attracted about 300 diehard Trump supporters.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ANOTHER VIEW Wake up Florida and America

Dear Editor: Wake up America and Florida! If Trump is doing so great, why are so many well respected republican leaders and generals backing and supporting Biden? I can hear the diehards yelling they're disloyal tp their party. I say they are loyal Americans who put their love of their country before politics. I think they real- ize Trump does not meet the moral standard of the Republican Party and is a dismal failure as a leader. Trump's Presidency has played out like a bad T.V. reality show. How many appointees has he fired and how many just got disgusted with him and quit. I have lost count. Many have written books about his failed leadership. You still think Trump puts your or America's best interest first? In 2000 Trump told Fortune Magazine, "It's very possible I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money off of it." I like former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder who is backing Biden. He said, "He is a good decent man. You can tell he's a person of character that cares. We need to heal our country." He said trump lacks a moral compass, ignores the truth and does not appreciate public policy matters." I believe trump made disparaging comments toward the military that he referred to fallen and captured U.S. Military as "losers" and "suckers." Sounds just like something someone with no moral compass would say. Trump once joked with radio jock Howard Stern that chasing women while risking STD's was his version of Vietnam, adding "It is very dangerous." I know many of you diehards are saying "You are being to critical of Trump" so I will close with a quote from Senator Lindsay Graham: If we nominate Trump we will get destroyed and we will deserve it."

Beth Ann Nichols Golfweek USA TODAY NETWORK FAR HILLS, N.J. – Locked away behind two sets of gray steel double doors in the basement of the USGA Golf Mu- seum and Library, Mickey Wright’s life was laid out on a long white table. If that sounds cold and impersonal, rest as- sured it was not. There was only one trophy on the table – from her 82nd and final victory on the LPGA at the 1973 Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner’s Circle. That particular piece of hardware once sat on her desk with a USGA Christmas ornament dan- gling from it. Wright, who died in February, three days after her 85th birthday, loved the USGA. From the four USGA stickers on her Mercury Grand Marquis to the countless pieces of memorabilia that she kept – including two U.S. Senior Wom- en’s Open trophy pins from championships that she did not play. The four-time U.S. Women’s Open winner loved the USGA so much, in fact, that she bequeathed her entire estate to the organization and asked that her ash- es be placed beneath the bay window of the Mickey Wright Room, which opened in 2012. Wright never visited the room but kept a scrapbook of articles that were written about it.

Doug Ferguson ASSOCIATED PRESS

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Sherwood Country Club again is hosting some of the world’s best players, some of whom return to memories of clutch shots, free money and a happy time of the year with the holidays right around the corner. Just not very many of them. In another sign of a younger generation on the PGA Tour, defending champion Tiger Woods is among just 11 players in the 78-man field for the Zozo Champion- ship at Sherwood who have competed on the Jack Nicklaus design. Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele were not even on the PGA Tour when Sherwood hosted the unofficial World Challenge for the 14th and final time in 2013. PGA champion Collin Morikawa was at Sherwood back then, as a young spectator looking for an auto- graph (he didn’t get it). Patrick Reed was a month away from cracking the top 50 in the world. Top 5 remains out of reach so far. The happiest memories belong to Woods, who won his tournament five times at Sherwood and was runner-up on five other occasions. He was younger Jon Rahm, seen during the third round of the CJ Cup on Saturday, was not even on the PGA Tour when Sherwood Country then, and there’s one other big change.
