Blogging here at the Brickyard has become popular as our golf course superintendent, Jeff Stuart, and touring professional Chad Collins started their respective blogs last week. I think people will be intrigued with these blogs and hope they keep you up to date on what’s happening.

It looks like Tiger will make his return this week at the World Match Play, and Phil Mickelson won last weekend at L.A. A lot of talk lately about the PGA Tour not being much without Tiger and how it needs him back, so if you are going to watch any golf it will definitely be Tiger-dominated. We just have to see if Phil can carry some steam into the Match Play after hanging on to win in L.A.

I might also say very smart of Tiger to return to a match play event, considering his record. Plus he may not need to play all the holes if he gets it going, saving wear and tear on his knee.

It’s somewhat depressing sitting here in the Midwest if you’re a golfer. The weather has been cold and somewhat ugly. We are hoping to get our course open on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, if the weather is decent. We have a lot of good events here this year, with about three college events and some professional events. So look for the Brickyard to be in its normal, excellent shape.

Not much more going on here. We have our Indiana PGA meetings in about two weeks, and that’s when you know the season is just around the corner.

Until next time, keep stretching for a better swing.
