As we begin 2023, the countdown has begun until we can play golf once again on a regular basis. Hope springs eternal that spring will soon be here in the Hoosier state and I am confident 2023 will be an exciting and fun-filled year for everyone.
Indiana Golf Journal will do its best to report the, what, where and when of golf action around the state.
Kudos to Indiana Golf Executive Director Mike David and his team for staging a number of tournaments last year for golfers at all levels – from juniors to women to seniors to those with disabilities.
There are also several programs in place for veterans to get out to play golf, especially those who are new to the game. Details of Indiana Golf’s ‘all-inclusive’ approach to golf are referenced in this issue. Also watch for Junior golf tournaments and programs.
There are few states that cater to golfers of all abilities like Indiana.
I want to thank the Golf Heritage Society for staging its 2022 gathering in Indianapolis in September. For those that enjoy learning about golf’s vast history, it was an event worth attending. I also want to acknowledge Lance Ringler for coordinating another successful Hoosier Amateur golf tournament at the Pfau Course at Indiana University, late last summer. The Hoosier Amateur is a great event to enter and win for both men and women.
Finally, I want to thank Legends Golf Club Head Professional Crystal Morse for joining me for a pair of ‘live,’ in-studio interviews on WISH-TV and WXIN-TV in Indianapolis and sharing a golf tip on the proper grip.
Happy New Year! I can’t wait to drive a Titleist, Callaway, Bridgestone, TaylorMade, Wilson Staff, or a Srixon on an Indiana golf course. Fore!!
