After almost two full weeks of ridiculously beautiful weather while the kids took two weekends off for spring break, Pittsburgh slapped the reality back into us with a cool down and enough rain to cancel Saturday’s rolls. Sunday was still overcast but dry, and 8 of our teams made it out the morning after greek [...]

Ask your employer: Don’t you want to sponsor Buggy?

Sam Swift — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:54:31 -0400

This idea has been in the works for a while, but now it’s happening, and just in time. When we helped introduce Jumbotrons to the course in 2009, it was a fun experiment. Now it’s practically a necessity. Can you imagine not being able to see what was going on in the chute while you’re [...]
