George Shutt Memories - No. 2
6/21/2020 7:53:00 AM | Women's Golf
DURHAM, N.C.-- Over the last 16 years, George Shutt has traveled thousands of miles to follow the Duke women's golf program. He has become a staple in women's college golf not only with the Blue Devils, but as a supporter of NCAA golf.
Since he became hooked on the Blue Devils in 2004, he has traveled to as many tournaments as possible, given numerous hugs, walked nearly 3,000 miles and supported collegiate golfers and head coaches throughout the years.
We checked in with Shutt and asked him to look back at some of his great memories while following the Blue Devils and GoDuke.com will debut them each week during the 2020 summer.

The 2007 NCAA National Championships were held at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla. Duke was playing for its third consecutive NCAA title. I met Amanda Blumenherst, her parents and sister, as well as Alison Whitaker and her parents. It was also the last tournament for Anna Grzebien, although I had seen her in my first Duke tournament in 2004.
Other things I remember were meeting Jennifer Pandolfi and her grandmother who was so very, very proud of her. I also met Jennifer's Dad, Paul. And I also met Kalen Anderson, the assistant coach for the first time.
It was very exciting for me as it was the third straight National Championship won by Duke making it the No. 5 all-time. The team played well throughout. After the first round they
were several shots behind the leader, but moved into first place the second day with the lowest round and built on that lead the remaining two days.
