Triple Bogey got the red carpet treatment at the Ottawa Hunt Club. Billiard table fairways and moonscape greens. The architecture reminded me of Pointe Du Hoc in Normandy.

“Seals were applied to letters and parcels to indicate whether or not the item had been opened since the seal was applied. Seals were used both to seal the item to prevent tampering, as well as to provide proof that the item was actually from the sender and was not a forgery. Governments would often send letters to citizens under the governmental seal for their eyes only. These were called letters secret. ” – 16th century encryption.
Thanks to Chris Moxon for his exceptional knowledge and use of CNC machines. Just like old times…

With spurs, sword and swirls of white and crimson, the Knights Templar began a new priory in Ottawa this weekend. The Priory of Simon Peter is the third such group in Canada, and one of several hundred worldwide dedicated to upholding the chivalry of the centuries-old order.
The sunny May afternoon, the tuxedos and formal wear, even the bagpipe escort, gave the ceremony at the Canadian Forces Uplands chapel the air of a wedding rather than an ancient rite. The six men and four women joining the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem took oaths to “fight from this day forward to be a defender of the kingdom of Christ.” Each came forward, knelt, and bowed slightly as a metre-long replica of a Templar sword alighted on the shoulders and head. “Arise, sir knight” said officiant Ronald Matthewman, Grand Prior of Canada.
A traditional red cross on a crimson ribbon was placed around each postulant’s neck, then a white, floor-length cape was draped across their shoulders. Another officiant held aloft a pair of silver spurs, tapped them twice, then bent down to place them (momentarily) on each postulant’s heels. The dames and knights all touched the hilt of the sword with the three central fingers of their right hand “as a sign of fidelity to the order.”
Edmund Griffiths, a decorated Second World War veteran, was elevated to lead the new group of about 30. The Priory of the Ascension of Our Lord in Windsor has 80 knights and dames, and Toronto’s Priory of St. James has about 50.
These modern-day Templars emphasize they are not Freemasons, nor are they a secret society, although candidates, usually highly educated community leaders, must be invited to join. The modern Templars were revived in the 19th century in France; this organization was founded in the United States in the 1960s where the headquarters remain today. It makes no claims about descending from the original medieval knights. However, they do see themselves as upholders of the Templars’ medieval code of honour. Its website says:
“The Order, in an age of democratic materialism and secular humanism, … (believes it has) an obligation to participate in the coalescing and preservation of a constructive force similar to that which created knighthood and chivalry during the Middle Ages.”
The Knights Templar began in the 11th century as a unique order of high-born military monks commissioned to fight Holy Wars against the Muslims and protect pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land. But by the 14th century, people became disenchanted with the order and accused them of corruption and growing soft. The Pope disbanded the order and several of the leaders were burned at the stake for heresy.
