Decent weather here in Indianapolis for the last few days, which was good. We also received our new fleet of EZ-GO golf carts and our new PROLINK GPS system Monday, March 10.
The new carts are really nice and have some new, high-tech features. Along with our new GPS system, Brickyard Crossing is one of the few facilities that has the amenities for an outstanding golf experience.
The new cart has been a project of EZ-GO for the last few years. Some features on the new cart include a new brake system that does not require setting the brake to keep the cart from rolling. The RXV cart also has an AC motor.
The GPS system is the new Prostar version of PROLINK, with the Scorecast system embedded into the program. This will allow players to keep score on the monitors, and it also has some neat features for scoring golf events. It also has space for advertisement.
The World Golf Championships Match Play tournament is underway, and there were some interesting matchups in the first round.
This tournament is comprised of the top 64 players on the world rankings list. Tiger Woods is No. 1 and Phil Mickelson is No. 2, but the rest of the players of the world are the ones to watch. These are players who are not household names, and you rarely get to see them. If you watch The Golf Channel at all, you might recognize some of them.
A few of the players to watch are guys like Martin Kaymer, Henrik Stenson, Richard Sterne and Niclas Fasth. These players are stalwarts on the European Tour and have a lot of game.
Congrats to the Giants. It was a popular win here in Indy, beating the Patriots!
Now that the Super Bowl is over, all golfers’ attention turns to the Super Bowl of golf, The Masters. Right now, four-time Masters winner Tiger Woods looks like the Patriots before the Super Bowl, undefeated so far in 2008.
I don’t know if anyone caught Tiger’s come-from-behind victory last weekend in Dubai, but it was amazing. Tiger admitted he did not have his best stuff on the weekend, but mentally he beat them on the back side of the final round.
During my last blog, I talked about putting and not making anything. Well, if you watch Tiger, he somehow wills crucial putts into the hole.
Tiger has such great mental strength, and working on that side of the game is something everyone can do during the offseason while waiting for golf weather.
