The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will be in town soon to fly over the U.S. Air Force Academy graduation. It’s always a treat to see the F-16 Fighting Falcons of the elite flight demonstration team. And it’s a very Colorado Springs scene to see them practicing and performing overhead each spring. The U.S. Air Force Graduation is a stirring and patriotic experience of its own — especially when those jets roar overhead at just the precise moment of the ceremony as the cadets throw their caps skyward.

I step up to the tee and adjust my grip. I look down the fairway, then back at the ball. I take a few short practice swings to align my club with the ball before extending into a backswing. Then I take a full swing forward as smoothy as possible and — shank the ball in a high and very short looping arc into the rough. So I take a few short steps, pick up my ball and place it on the tee again. That’s the beauty of indoor golf at City Golf COS, the new golf experience downstairs at Trainwreck.
