Many apologies for the unscheduled break in the Links last Friday. It’s long been a point of pride that, excepting planned holidays, I never miss a Friday. Last week’s sudden absence was to the best of my recollection the first since the 24th of June, 2016; as the votes were tallied that morning and it became apparent that the UK had voted to leave the European Union, I was struggling to articulate anything beyond a stream of swear words and sighs.
