Blair-Wellington Golf Exchange

In 1968, Blair Academy and the Stowe School in England established the Blair-Stowe golf exchange, now known as the Blair-Wellington exchange. Every other year, eight American school-boy golfers travel to England (and sometimes Scotland) to play three weeks of golf on some of England’s finest courses. In turn, during the alternate year, eight British golfers come to the USA spending time at various boarding schools and playing some of America’s best courses. In addition to superb golf opportunities for the participants, these trips abroad afford the participants new cross-Atlantic friendships and cultural appreciation.

This summer’s contingent included three Blair representatives – Andrew Kaskel ’04, and coaches David Kunes ’98 (who made the trip twice previously as a Blair golfer) and faculty member Wayne Rasmussen. The group departed from Blair on June 13 and returned to the USA on July 7.
