This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Jeff Burda '75 wins NoCA Golf Champ's in 6 different decades by Hickster

Today, Jeff Burda won the Northern California "Super Senior" Amateur Golf Championship at Spyglass, Pebble Beach, CA. The "Super Senior" category is for players over 65 years of age. He is the first golfer to win the Northern California Amateur in 6 different decades (he has won a total of 10 NCGAs in his career, which ties the record).

Jeff won his first NCGA championship in 1974, after his Junior year at Notre Dame. He played as the #1 player all of his four years at Notre Dame and was a multi-year captain of the team.

He has played in multiple Amateur National and Open Championships - US Amateur - US Senior Amateur - US Senior Open - US Open.

Jeff was a great all-round athlete coming out of Northern California and was named to some All-Northern California teams in football, basketball and baseball. I do not believe that California had "All-State" teams, and designated their players Northern California and Southern California teams (makes sense with population counts: CA 40 million; TX 29 million; FL 21 million; NY 19 million).

He felt that golf was the most challenging sport that he has played.
