I once made a father do detention to make up for the school his son missed. He did it! The principal nearly had a stroke, but the child's attendance improved remarkably.

In the end, the Crimson finished with a hard-won second-place finish behind Yale at the Great Gorge Country Club in McAfee, N.J. Harvard’s plus-61 performance was just five strokes behind the winning Bulldogs, and it helped wipe away the memories of a sixth-place Ivy finish last year. The success was due in part to the consistent play of freshman Emily Balmert, who was crowned the individual champion, leading the entire tournament en route to a plus-seven final...
