It is no secret I am a huge New England Patriots fan living in Indiana.  My weekend group consists of 1 Indianapolis Colts fan, a diehard Packers fan and one patient Vikings fan (still waiting for a Superbowl).  Well we found a new way to show off our commitment to our favorite team — NFL Golf Shoes!
Check out the new Footjoy NFL Shoes!  Oh ya Go Pats!

If anyone is looking for the best golfing deal in Hamilton County then look no further then River Glen golf course.  Every Friday all food, beer, soda and candy is $1.00.  We hit the links this past Friday and my guest couldnt beleive they could ever get a six pack for $6.00

On July 11^th WTHR added value to golfers by adding their SkyTrak weather to Indys Golf Choice.  Now as golfers start looking for Indianapolis golf courses they are now up to date with live radar, 5 day forecast and a tee time forecast. 

Have you ever wished that you’d picked up the game a little earlier in your childhood, or that you’d had the chance to take some lessons so you had a stronger foundation of golf knowledge and skill?

When it comes to golf, there’s no reason your child will ever have to say “if only…” when he or she grows up. Enroll your child in one of the  Sahm Junior Golf Clinics and give him or her the solid golf foundation upon which he or she can build a lifetime of great golf memories!

It’s been 4 years since my last visit to GCI, and this trip made me a believer in spending the $4.00 gas to drive around the 465 bend to replay this course.  First, Indiana has been hit with a significant amount of rain, and this course seemed to move and divert the rain so that the course was in playable conditions.  The superintendent did what I expected and made “cart path” only to keep the integrity of the fairways and rough.  The greens on Sunday were the best I played in Indiana to date.  Not only could you ready the greens but they had consistent speed.  In fact, I made a few 10 footers (1 putt) which came from reading the break. 
One of the surprising actions of the course was the installation of the new GPS system which I found to be state of the art in distance and location.  Typically in Indiana we search fairways for any distance marker like a squirrel on the last day of fall looking for that last nut.  This GPS system was not only on the money for distance but helped increase speed of play. 
So with excellent greens, above average fairways (rain considering) and speed of play, I would highly recommend those who haven’t played Golf Club of Indiana to make the short trip north of 465 and give this course a reunion for golfing this summer.

This past week I played golf and for the first time I choose the course based on the driving distance to respect my fellow players. Gas prices are getting out of control and some players are now factoring the cost of gas as part of the value of a course. So in the spirit of helping fellow golfers I added a new page to our site to help find Indianapolis Gas Prices.

I was recently asked by my wife about information about women in golf. I have to say I had no clue on “who, what and where” to get this information! I spent about 3 hours searching thru hundreds of blogs to find her “Golf Girl’s Diary” to get the latest news for women. Enjoy and hope this link helps!
