From today through Sunday I'll be doing media relations for the Tommy Keane Invitational golf tournament at Hanover Country Club. The tournament honors the memory of the legendary HCC pro and Dartmouth golf coach from 1922-1966. In addition to a blog with updates throughout the day (LINK) I cover the event for the local daily.Check out the 4-minute video below for a little background featuring a few thoughts from former Dartmouth Athletic Director Seaver Peters.

And finally, That Certain Nittany Lion '16 was at the PGA Championship at Baltusrol yesterday courtesy of That Certain Aunt from Texas, who gave him the absolutely perfect graduation present of a couple of season passes to the event. Unfortunately, he has to work today through Sunday at the course (although he does get to play in the Keane), but believe me when I tell you he squeezed the orange pretty hard yesterday. I snapped this picture off the DVR that shows him just above the American flag wearing a white hat and Hanover Country Club shirt. You can see the artfully curved bill of Mrs. BGA's white hat behind him ;-)
