SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Staunch Seton Hall supporters Kathy and Jim Leber '68 have generously donated $100,000 to support technology upgrades and enhancements, which ultimately resulted in the gift of PuttView Indoor, an augmented reality putting system.

"People like Jim and Kathy truly care about the well-being and success of Seton Hall student-athletes," said men's golf Head Coach JT Harper. "This gift will most-certainly give them an advantage in tournament preparation, particularly during the winter. I can't thank them enough."

"We owe Jim and Kathy an enormous debt of gratitude for their tremendously generous gift," said women's golf head coach Natalie DesJardins. "Their dedication to our golfers has never wavered and is greatly appreciated. Their generosity puts us in a much stronger position competitively moving forward."

PuttView overlays information onto the green that could otherwise not be seen. A projector illustrates every aspect of a putt directly onto the green allowing golfers to have an intuitive and engaging way to practice putting. Located above the projector is a Ball Tracking camera, which tracks the ball in real-time. This technology provides valuable data and insights into your intentions in relation to your actual putt.

Some of the marquee golf programs in the country have integrated PuttView technology including USC, Tennessee, North Carolina and Michigan State to name only a few.

In the last 10 years alone, Seton Hall golf programs have combined to collect five BIG EAST Championships. The women have won three titles, while the men are the defending champions and winners of two in the last three years.

Assistant Coach Andrew Francis

Spoke with a contact about Coach Francis. FGCU was disappointed to see him leave but understood he was leaving for an increase in salary. His main duty at FGCU was recruiting and he was successful even though the school is not that easy to recruit for despite the nice campus and weather. FGCU is a low D1 school and when a recruit mentions NIL as one of his first questions the school immediately writes him off . FGCU does have NIL money and some wealthy supporters but they feel if a recruit emphasizes NIL he won't be a serious student.

OT- Just a Disgrace!

Okay, OT but a big enough story to post and I'm sure I'm not the only Yankees fan here who's disgusted and needed to vent. The expectations were huge going into this series and it's been such a terrible let down that I actually resorted to turning the Giants on Monday Night Football.

Some random thoughts that came up trough the headaches and nausea of the last few days:

-Fat Joe?!?!?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...over! Could we look any weaker or small time after LA breaks out Ice Cube? Joke 🫣

-The one chance to make last night's yawner of a game interesting was killed by the ineptitude of terrible umpiresMark Carlson ringing up Gleyber on one of the worst calls you'll see in post season history. So instead of potentially seeing Soto up with the bases loaded you may have just as well turned of the tv. Besides Yankees fans or even neutral baseball fans you gotta think the network was pissed at that call.

-Aaron Boone. Not one of the many Boone haters out there but what was his reaction after that abomination of a call? Sat there with a numb/depressed look on his face. This is the guy who's been know to ride umps and has gotten thrown out of more games than any 3 managers combined the last few years protecting his guys' at the plate. He just sat there...he was checked out and gave up. Terrible. Not as terrible as pulling Cole the other night, then doubling down on dumb and putting Nestor who hasn't pitched in a month when he had a guy in Hill who's been lights out of late.

Our Ace Cole- Coming to realize this guy is soft. Gives the ball to Boonie after 88 pitches. It's the freaking World Series! What do you think Bob Gibson would do if the manager came to take the ball after 88 pitches?

Not what happens, but how you react.

2 completely different groups of people called garbage. The group who claims to be the party of joy is crying, feeling disrespected and hurt because a comedian used the term in a joke. They want to get you to hate the other side for saying such things. The other group was called garbage by the leader of the free world and they’re embracing it, having fun with it and seem to be the ones with all of the joy.

I guess it goes to show it’s not what happens to you but how you respond to it.
