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 schoolboy golfers travel to England (and sometimes Scotland) to play three weeks of golf on some of area’s finest courses. In turn, during the alternate year, eight British golfers come to the United States, 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 year, Blair faculty members Wayne Rasmussen and Michael Kornheiser traveled to England and – for the first time in 30 years – Scotland as well, with eight boys from Peddie, Lawrenceville, Woodberry Forest, Germantown, Georgetown Prep, Myers Park High School, Chestnut Hill and Abington Friends.
