TRUTH & Rumors
|
-
 Kate Upton took a hard shot at the Los Angeles Country Club this week when she tweeted: - "I just heard that Los Angeles Country Club doesn't allow women to golf until noon.That is the most insulting news I've heard! It's 2014"
- She was wrong. There's no such rule.
- But is that really The MOST insulting news Kate ever heard?
- Speaking of LA LA Land, something's amiss at the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Their hiring committee still hasn't been able to secure a pro in this unnecessarily long search. We heard they had a pro, but now they're advertising again.
- Rachael Grinham and Squash Australia seem to have patched up their differences, just in time for this summer's Commonwealth Games.
- Chins are wagging about the impressive recruiting class of Columbia University men. We hear they will be contenders to win the Ivy League next year.
- British #1 tennis player Andy Murray recently hired French female Am�lie Mauresmo to be his coach.
- The United Kingdom National Racketball Championships are being held soon. Last year's winner earned �200. We hear there's no prize money offered this year.
- Dartmouth College has announced three men's recruits entering this fall. One each from Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, The Collegiate School, and Westminster School which should ensure things stay solid for The Big Green.
- We needed to double check the mascot for Dartmouth College.
- To our surprise, a Keg of Beer, was listed first by Google.
- It seems the boys and girls of Hanover prefer "Keggy the Keg" to the actual mascot.
- AND we then learned ESPN's PTI had already done a piece on the mascot.
  According to NBC Sports, Keggy could not be confirmed as present at Dartmouth's most regrettable squash moment, which was reported, a few years back, here.
