Hello Indiana Golfers! It’s been warm sunny, for the most part, in Indiana, I hope you have been taking advantage of the extended daylight to pursue Old Man Par. I’m excited about the breadth and depth of stories in this issue and I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed putting them all together. A special ‘shout-out’ to the leadership of the Otter Creek Golf Club in Columbus for agreeing to host the LPGA Tour’s Epson Tour’s Otter Creek Championship over Father’s Day weekend, which saw a thrilling sudden-death playoff to conclude the tournament. In this issue, we are shining the spotlight on Zionsville’s Annabelle Pancake who played in the Otter Creek Championship, as an amateur and made the cut. She carded two sub-70 scores in the third and final rounds to conclude the tournament in strong fashion. Her big-picture goal is to turn pro and advance to a permanent existence on the LPGA Tour. Good luck to Annabelle, who graduated from Clemson University this past spring. Between now and the middle of August, there will be three (British) Open Championships to watch – all from Scotland. First, it’s the men’s Open at Troon Golf Club, followed by the Senior (British) Open Championship at the Carnoustie Golf Club and finally the AIG Women’s (British) Open Championship on the Old Course at St. Andrews. After watching those three events on classic links golf courses, you will enjoy seeing the bump-and-run shot being properly played. Finally, I’m headed to the Scottish Highlands in mid-August to play Royal Dornoch, Nairn, and Castle Stuart. Look for a report on that trip in our September issue. Keep peppering those pins in pursuit of Old Man Par…..
