Weather. We are back to that theme this past couple of weeks.
Brickyard Crossing has been closed for 3½ of the last 11 days. On every one of these days, Little Eagle Creek overflowed its banks and flooded the adjacent holes.
The first day we were closed was Saturday, May 31 – what a good way to end a month of rain already. All of our bridges were under water and impassable.
Believe it or not, we were open the next day and were able to get carts in the fairways by mid-afternoon. Then Wednesday, June 4, rain hit again. It looked much worse this time.
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.
