The unofficial online home for fans of the Kent State University Golden Flashes. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

Back when the Miami message board was cool, the good people in Oxford ran a thread like this and I always looked forward to it. So as the product of a Miami Merger, and with a Redhawk of a bride, I will give this another (tee) shot to see if it catches on. The rules are simple.

A Home win or Road loss is an even Par
A Road win gets you Birdie
A Home loss is a Boogie

We will send out 2 Six-Somes and play a full 18 holes. This year's winner will take home the coveted "Beta Bell Tower Cup", which is currently on display at The Center for 21st Century Music on the campus of the University at Buffalo . After two holes here are the standings:

Please feel free to make bad golf jokes or express your general displeasure with this thread.

Also....Please feel free to update this thread anytime you want!! Just let us know how many holes we have played. All compliments can be sent directly to my email, all complaints go to Helen Waite, my loyal secretary.

I am generally displeased to begin with.

But fallsdog this seems to be a source of pride for you so I’m gonna let you enjoy it.

Hard to imagine anything from Miami ever being cool.

Bowling Green State, Toledo, and Ohio U all birdie #3. Ball State, Western and Central suffer boogies. I hope this is somewhat pleasing to you, Jim!!
