This weekend I left the early morning sunflower fields in Poolesville to the crowds gathering there and headed a few miles eastward to the Germantown Pool near Kingsview Middle School to briefly capture the top league swim teams – to find the pool and pool area packed. There are many great rising talent swimmers across […]

Updated views of the Sunflower Fields at the McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Poolesville as of Wednesday, July 19.  

Sunflowers. Everyone is going crazy about the sunflower bloom. In the next 14 days all focus (ahh!) will be on the McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area (MBWMA) in Poolesville. I got out this weekend to take a sneak peak at the fields. Believe what the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is telling you. The bloom […]

It was an old fashioned Irish wake in a contemporary British styled pub. Beer flowed, food overwhelmed the tables, and the bourbon salute to a life well lived fulfilled “Griff’s” wish for a celebration rather than a church service for his friends and family. Over 250 gathered this past Saturday, at Union Jacks Gaithersburg Rio […]

At the end of the round, Kyle Stanley emerged as this year’s Quicken Loans National Champion, making this his second tour win. Stanley qualifies for the Masters as well as other future […]

Third round play of the Quicken Loans National began at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm early on Saturday with the weather a concern and the leaders scrambling. After two rounds it was David Lingmerth at 10 under par with Geoff Ogilvy at 9 under.  By mid afternoon a typical mid-Atlantic thunderstorm blew through Potomac delaying play […]

Coach. That’s what I called him whenever our paths crossed, which was usually on the hardwoods. Good friends, associates, former players probably know him best as just “Griff”. Dave died on June 18th of this year not that long after his basketball prowess was proven and his last charges, those homegrown basketball students along with […]

Northwest High School Baseball clinched the 4A state regional championship with their 4-1 win against Eleanor Roosevelt Raiders Wednesday afternoon at the Shirley Povich Field in Bethesda. The Northwest team keeps on winning and it might have to do with their hair style. The #BlondeBombers flashed smiles and lots of pitching wizardry to advance to […]
