Kansas finished the three day tournament 25-under to Purdue’s 23-under. Little Rock and Michigan State finished a distant tiedc for third at 11...

Over 60 past and present members of the men’s and women’s varsity squads recently traveled from as far as Los Angeles or as near as down...
They haven’t lost in squash in eleven years (Division I). They won their first 44 baseball games last year before a single loss in the best of three final against Johns Hopkins, and then they rallied in the ninth to beat Hopkins and win the Division III National Championship. Click here for the video. Now the Bantam golf team has cracked the top 25...

Part one is below this entry. See you from Augusta next year. Friday It was fitting that Woods went off early Thursday because it set the stage for him close the proceedings on Friday with fireworks. Much like a headlining rock band rightfully having the stage for themselves to end the gig and sending everyone home singing and screaming for more – a smattering...

I hope you like it.] The members of Bulls Bay Golf Club in Awendaw, South Carolina are blessed with a privilege unique in the world of golf. They belong to the only...
While I refuse to turn this issue into a political one, my heart was warmed by the unranked Virginia Tech golf team coming out of nowhere to tie 13th ranked Georgia Tech for the ACC title. They finished the three day tournament at -10. Hootie at Bulls Bay two-time champs Wake Forest finished 8th. Clemson was third at -6. Florida State and Duke tied...

AWENDAW, SC – We had a runaway and now it’s a war. In the span of half an hour Central Florida’s nine shot lead over Florida State and Baylor dwindled to just one, before late birdies swelled the lead back to the four shot advantage they enjoyed at the start of the day. They finished the day at 10-under. Meanwhile Wake Forest (6-under)...
AWENDAW, SC - In a zany day at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Collegiate Invitational, unranked Central Florida and Florida State ran away from the field, while “Titleist” the Bull got loose and scampered around the course  to the delight of the patrons — Their mascot looks like Marvin the Martian from the Bugs Bunny Cartoons. You might mistake...
CHARLESTON, SC – As if a hometown Charleston, SC concert with Hootie and the Blowfish wasn’t amazing enough, John Daly made a surprise visit on stage. As the crowd thundered “DA-LY! DA-LY!, DA-LY!
