Suit By Rudy Giuliani’s Son Over Duke U Golf Team Dismissal Is in the Rough

A lawsuit filed by the son of former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani over his dismissal from Duke University's varsity golf team last year is in the rough, reports the New York Daily News.

Magistrate Judge Wallace Dixon has recommended that Andrew Giuliani's North Carolina federal court suit be dismissed, saying in a written opinion that the breach-of-contract claim "slices far from the fairways." A copy of the opinion was posted today on the Smoking Gun.

But Giuliani, who graduated from Duke this year and recently turned pro, is still in the game: "The case is going forward," his attorney, Bob Ekstrand, tells the newspaper. "And Andrew is an honorable, fantastic young man, and he is looking forward to his day in court."
