Another team bonding event for the Broncos.
Three weeks ago, about 30 Broncos players took a bus to Coors Field to watch the Rockies play the New York Yankees. Today, at a golf course near the team’s headquarters, more than 100 Bronco players, coaches and personnel will participate in a 9-hole golf outing.
“I think it’s important to get to know guys and spend time with guys not just out here at practice or in the weight room,” Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning said last week. “When you’re over here in the weight room and in practice, it’s pretty much just work and you listen to the coaches, listen to the strength coaches.
“It’s probably a good thing it’s nine holes and not 18. There were 40 sets of rental clubs last year which tells you how many non-golfers we have on this team.
“But, it’s fun. Everybody plays with a different position. I’ll play with a defensive lineman and a linebacker. It’s little things like that that I always thought made a difference. The good teams that I’ve been on in the past were guys that got along, guys that went to dinner, that hung out and spent time away from the playing field. I’ve always thought that’s important. I think it can win a game for you somewhere down the road.”
