Indiana Golf Journal July 2022

The OPEN Championship is a July Highlight Thank you for checking out the July edition of the Indiana Golf Journal. We hope you enjoying reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it all together. In this issue, we report on the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s 2022 boys high school state tournament that was held in mid-June at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel. Kudos to Prairie View GC for another first-class effort in hosting this year’s tournament and congratulations to individual medalist Aiden Gutierrez, a sophomore fromValparaiso High. For me, July is always a special month as it’s when we see the (British) Open Championship. I was fortunate to attend all four rounds of the Open, in July 1983. As a way of showcasing my enthusiasm for this year’s Open Championship, I have crafted a preview of the tournament in the form of a poem. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. A special shout-out to WISH-TV sports director Anthony Calhoun whose 10th AC Golf Classic in June raised $450,000 for TeachersTreasures, an Indianapolis non-profit store where teachers can obtain school supplies for students in need. Since the first AC Golf Classic in 2013, athletes, coaches, educators, celebrities, and business and community leaders have helped raise nearly $3 million for Teachers’ Treasures. Well done, to AC! This issue has another interesting rules explanation from Mitch Moon, an LPGA Rules official. And, Kurt Wieneke, our guru of the vineyards, shares his thoughts on great wines of the Midwest. Enjoy summer golf in the great state of Indiana….and share this issue of the Indiana Golf Journal with fellow golfers. As always, we welcome your feedback.
