Two-time U.S. Open champion Andy North announced recently that he and his wife will donate a new basketball court for the University of Wisconsin. North, who grew up near Madison but attended the University of Florida, is a die hard Badger fan who attends home and away basketball games and other sporting events. University officials estimated the cost of the new floor, which will be installed for the upcoming basketball season, at $100,000. North is one Mr. Fairway’s all-time favorites ever since he competed against him (badly!) in the Wisconsin high school golf state tournament in the ‘60s.

Andy North, what a guy! Those Badger fans remain loyal. Oh, to have been on the UW campus in the 60's...What an education. Madison is a world class school, and Mr. North is a first class guy!
Yes, UW Madison is a wonderful place and it is fun to see Andy North supporting the program financially and in Badger Red courtside. Will they lose to Marquette U in hoops again this year? Maybe Andy can help there too. Perhaps he has some college eligibility left? I presume he graduated from Florida(?). All I know is he is tall, small forward, and a very good communicator. Now I think I will visit Trapper's Turn and see if I can break 103.
