A short recap on the 2008 President’s Putter. Held annually at Rye Golf Club, the Oxford Cambridge Golfing Society plays the first weekend in January.

What’s in my bag

It’s winter in the northern hemisphere so why not be geeked up on golf? It’s that time of year to be thinking about what awaits us in the year to come. Maybe 2008 is the year for my first my hole-in-one (I should mention I’ve played well over 3,000 par threes and patiently await my [...]
