===The Olde Forge===
[[Image:forge.jpg|left|thumbnail|"12 original"]][[Image:NedbhBhmiked.jpg|right|thumbnail|Ned Wydysh and Bryan Harmon, forge pioneersBH revels in getting his wings before Mike D]]Discovered" by Ned Wydysh for his birthday on [[Valentine's Day]], 2003, going to [[Restaurants#Ye_Olde_Forge|The Forge]] quickly became a weekly staple for the golf team. As the 2003-2004 school year rolled around, senior captains Ned (3 beer cards) and BH (0 beer cards, only drinks Coors Light and Foster's) made going to the Forge at least as important as playing golf for members of the team.
The amazing wings and good beer fueled the team's mediocre play week in and week out. Ned, BH, Zach McArthur (3 beer cards), John Kildahl (almost 4 beer cards), Matt "Philip" Slovitt (almost 4 beer cards), and non-golfer Jon Russell '06 (3 beer cards) made up the core of the weekly group. As younger members of the team learned of this tradition, they became important participants, mostly as designated drivers. In particular, Brendan "Lapdog" Conley '08 (2 beer cards!) served this role well, sacrificing gaining the [[freshman 15]] (or 25) in exchange for wings every week. It is [[Zachary McArthur|this author]]'s hope that the Forge tradition remains alive in the Williams Golf family as long as possible. On May 4, 2006 at the Forge, Kevin Kellert demonstrated his leadership and commitment to the Williams Golf Team tradition by completing an [[Irish Carbomb]].
