Summertime sports: From baseball to rodeos, sports fans have oodles of options
OK, that's probably not the only question the Jazz will have that day. Fans will be invited per tradition to attend a drafty-day party at EnergySolutions Arena to get the inside scoop before David Stern makes his announcement at Madison Square Garden. (Here's a guess he won't be telling the world those three Utah collegiate players will all be wearing Jazz colors next year.)
The next Jazz action in Utah will take place in mid-to-late July at the annual Rocky Mountain Revue. That's when NBA hopefuls converge on the Salt Lake Community College's Redwood Campus in hopes of catching the eye of attending coaches (NBA ones, not SLCC's). Details are forthcoming.
Amateur hackers will have all sorts of opportunities to compete across the state this summer. Tournaments are held about every weekend at various clubs and courses. Two of the bigger ones will take place later in the summer the Utah Open Championship at Oakridge Country Club (Aug. 22-24) and the UGA Tournament of Champions at Wolf Creek Golf Course (Sept. 12-13).
• RODEOS: Giddy up, pardner. OK, we'll spare you anymore bad Cowboyese, but anyone who has a hankering for guys and gals competing in boots and hats are in luck in the Beehive State during the summer. Between now and September, you can find a rodeo about every weekend around Utah from Herriman to Heber City, from Tooele to Tremonton, even from the Canyonlands to Coalville.
Some of the most popular pasture parties include: the Oakley Rodeo (July 2-5), Ute Stampede Rodeo in Nephi (July 10-12) ; and the Days of '47 Rodeo at EnergySolutions Arena, which includes the popular Professional Bull Riders' event and $300,000 in prize loot (July 16-24).
Try 'em. They're a hoot.
