...believe I would not be incorrect in assessing election to PBK as the second highest academic honor Harvard College can bestow. If so, the Society should act less like a Final Club, and more like an honorary society.

As far as three-putting, this happens to almost all Europeans who play the Sotogrande course for the first time because the fast bent-grass greens that Trent Jones built are new and unknown in Spain. I can vouch for the accuracy of these statements because it was I who played with General Franco that...
