Looks like it will be an all mid-am final. Smith & White just beat high-schoolers Connelly & Burns in one semi and the other semi (Briit/Earnhardt vs. Harvey/Mitchell and all square thru 18 holes) is between 2 mid-am teams.

Indeed. Nathan Smith is nearing legend status among amateur golfers (unless he's already attained it with his four Mid-Am titles).

-Director of Recruitment at Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village in Rwanda on why it selects orphaned children without regard to past academic performance. Refreshing situationism in a country where strict dispositionism might be expected.

And he has done it all with one of the funkier swings you are likely to see. ;)

Apart from the hitch, the swing is actually quite nice. From my observations last night, he just has the perfect demeanor for golf.

I thought it interesting the announcer said O-Lake is his favorite course. I'd have thought he would favor hometown Oakmont in the "virtually impossible to play for anyone over a 2 handicap" category.

Briit/Earnhardt just won in 19 holes. Britt is 49, Earnhardt is 46. Just walking the Lake Course 7 times in 5 days is no easy task.
