The Putter Recap
It took 5 months but I am finally putting together my recollection of the 2007 Putter. It was my first time attending this fascinating event.

Golf Enthusiasts Must Read: Emergency 9
To all golfers, This article is worth every minute of the read. It nearly brought me to tears. It’s from the special edition Golf Digest Index.

First Golf Fixture 2006
I just got back from our first Blues fixture of 2006. We played Walton Heath on Saturday and The Addington on Sunday. Saturday at the Heath it was the 100th match between Oxford and the club. We lost 11 1/2 to 6 1/2. Historically they’ve always put out a great squad. Oxford hasn’t won in [...]
