===The Olde Forge===
[[Image:forge.jpg|left|thumbnail|"12 original"]][[Image:Bhmiked.jpg|right|thumbnail|BH 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 (2 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 (4 beer cards), Matt "Philip" Slovitt (4 beer cards), and non-golfer Jon Russell '06 (2 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. The year 2005 saw Irish Carbombs become a staple final drink during Forge visits. One magical night, Kurt Brumme, sitting at an adjacent table (with mostly [[Swim Team]]-ers), stealthily bought the entire golf table a round of bombs. Just about a year later, on May 4, 2006, Kevin Kellert demonstrated his leadership and commitment to the Williams Golf Team tradition by completing his first [[Irish Carbomb]]. It is [[Zachary McArthur|this author]]'s hope that the Forge remains alive in the Williams Golf family as long as possible.
