Scotland, High School Golf & A History Lesson As always, I hope you enjoy this edition of the Indiana Golf Journal as much as we enjoy assembling the content for your reading pleasure. The Scotland Report. Our featured story in this issue is a spectacular, detailed-rich account of a recent trip to Scotland by my publisher Fred Altvater. Clearly, for all avid golfers, making the trek to the home of golf is at the top of their ‘bucket list’ of golf experiences. I followed Fred’s trip via his frequent posts on Facebook and I thoroughly enjoyed his written memories of his recent trip in this issue, which included a round on the Old Course at St. Andrews. FYI: I have been told that Fred avoided the dreaded Road Hole bunker at the 17th green and the famous Valley of Sin at the 18th hole. Inside the Ropes. For the upcoming Senior LPGA Championship (June 29-July 1) at the Sultan’s Run Golf Club in Jasper, those interested in being a caddie should contact Jeff Howerton (jhowerton@sultansrun.com) at Sultan’s Run. As of May 1, 35 caddies were on the list and 78 players will be in the field. High School Stars. If you are interested in attending this year’s Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) boys state golf finals, circle the dates June 13-14 on your calendar. The event will be held at the Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel. Ticket prices are $15, which covers both days of play. FYI: The Wilson Staff Duo is the official ball of this year’s IHSAA boys state golf finals. History Lesson. While the Country Club of Indianapolis is the oldest golf course in Indiana, its current site is not its original location. The Country Club of Indianapolis was originally built on what is now the Woodstock Country Club. The Country Club of Indianapolis was founded on June 4, 1891. Enjoy the late spring weather and the long summer days to follow….and don’t forget to fill in your divots and those of your playing partners, as well.
