Surprised nobody has mentioned this before but NIU is the NCAA golf championships host (both women and men), or maybe not given the somewhat negative nature this board takes.

I was out there volunteering today, and loved all the NIU stuff I saw. The coaches I talked to all had real positive things to say. It will be on the golf channel the next couple of nights and then again next week for the men.

Wish the weather would be a a little better, but his is such a positive event for the school. Kent State is in 2nd place right now right behind Northwestern (go MAC!)

Kudos to Jerry Rich for being such a great alumni of the school and giving back the way he does.

Sugar Grove isn't that far from the Suburbs and it's easy to get there and park, even if you are a marginal golf fan, check it out!
