In the News

Dartmouth Now has a story about golf coach Rich Parker teeing it up this week starting Thursday at the U.S. Senior Open in Sammamish, Wash. Parker earlier this year earned a check at a Champions Tour event in New York State. I remember covering the 1990 U.S. Open at Medinah outside of Chicago and thinking then what I think now: If Rich ever makes it into the interview room it will be like ice cream for the media. Trust me, Boo Weekley has nothing on him when it comes to being quotable.

Do I miss newspaper work? A little bit on occasion, but not very often. One thing I certainly don't miss is the anxiety that came with making sure I was "out front" on breaking news in the Dartmouth athletic department if you catch my drift.
