The race is over, and it’s back to golf here at the Brickyard.
It was great to see old friends come back to the Indianapolis 500 and also make new friends with the new set of drivers that have come over in the merger of the racing leagues.
Here is a short recap of the last week here at the Brickyard. First, The Rollie Golf Tournament presented by Tommy Bahama Rum on Wednesday, May 21 was a great time. We had good weather, a little windy, and a good time was had by all. Check out the pictures on our Web site. The tournament was won by Brad Benge, Bob Treash, Dan Rohn, Graham Cohen and NHRA Top Fuel driver Morgan Lucas.
This week has been busy here at the Brickyard despite the rain and cool temperatures.
Short blog this week due to activities here at the course, but the main thing is to tell you about a few happenings.
First, Indianapolis 500 veteran PJ Jones, son of 1963 “500” winner Parnelli Jones, got to town this week looking for a ride in the Indy 500. PJ, who loves to play golf, had a hole-in-one Monday on our 14th hole. His first ace ever. The strange thing is, it was on a par-4. That’s right, a 305-yard par-4 in what I would say soft conditions. It has rained here about every other day. If my memory is right, that is the second hole-in-one on that particular hole here at the Brickyard.
The month of May is here, and it is starting to happen around here. We have golfers, racers and fans all coming to the Brickyard for one reason or another.
In a paragraph or two, we are going to try and answer some of the most popular questions asked on a daily basis.
