Sorry for not writing a blog last week; we were a little busy with a few events surrounding the race. A few of the drivers played last week in the Chevrolet Media Day golf tournament. It seems like more drivers are playing than in the past. This takes in account drivers from Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Craftsman Truck series.
Not a whole lot going in golf with the exception of the U.S. Senior Open out in Colorado this week. One of my good friends, Bob Stephens from here in Indy, qualified and shot a very respectable 71 in the first round. Bob does a little practicing here at the Brickyard and has won numerous amateur tournaments here in Indiana.
The British Open has started, and the weather is just brutal for the players. Greg Norman, at 53 years of age, led as of early Friday morning.
What wild conditions they are having, and if you listen to interviews with the players who are playing well, they are not complaining about the weather. They’re just playing the course and what it will give them.
That raises another good point on the mental aspect of golf: Don’t let things that are out of your control influence your game. Play each shot and each hole at a time.
