of squash the way it used to be played ...

Welcome to my squash page!

Among right-thinking people, squash is, well, the game of choice. Don't just take my word for it -- the University of Wisconsin has a thriving squash club. Take a look!

Probably more than you ever wanted to know ...

Some internet squash links

Most people probably wouldn't call attention to a record like this ... :-)

Martin's Brief Squash FAQ

Isn't squash just like racquetball, but ...?

Yeah, and Windows 95 would be a quality, secure operating system, except that Microsoft wrote it.

Admittedly racquetball provides a small degree of primitive satisfaction, has a fun bouncy ball, and anyone above age 5 can play. Squash, on the other hand, requires so much more in the way of tactics, skill, athletic ability, and endurance, that the two cannot fairly be compared.

If you need more convincing, read this article from the October 21st-27th, 1995 The Economist entitled: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST


Acknowledgements

At this point I'd like to state that I've stolen pretty much all of this page's material (except this whiny little bit here) from my friend Tad Fox's squash page. Tad was recently a graduate student in Chemistry at U of Michigan, but has moved on to work at a software company, so his web pages are no longer available. To my knowledge. That's how I rationalize my theft -- without my intervention, all of his hard work might have gone for naught. Heh.
