Well, the fam is slowly settling down in Louisville after the last decade in NYC. One immediate bonus is cost of golf. The Louisville Metro courses average 12$ weekday walking.

I tried out Shawnee, and its fine--great place to score low. Interesting Shawnee trivia: hole #7 has the I-64 overpass behind the green. From the back tee of the short par 4, the overpass is 355 yards away, and about 40 yards high (that's a guess).

ACCORDING TO LEGEND, Tiger played there in '95 and hit a ball onto or over the overpass for the gallery of kiddies. I find this believable numberwise, but would love for someone to verify. . .

Looking forward to trying Seneca this week, and Old Capitol in the near future. Again, if you are walking these courses are CHEEEEEEEEP!!!

Any suggestions!?

Shawnee is a fun course and an easy walk. Seneca will be a little more challenging. A lot of ground to cover walking from 1 to 2 and 11 to 12. Seneca is also the most heavily used metro course we have I beleive. Trivia for Seneca is that Gary Player won his first tournament in the U.S. at this course in 1957 or 1958.

Charlie Vettiner is probably the best of our metro courses. The walk to 17 and 18 can be a little tiring but it's a great course.

Quail Chase is a great course with 27 holes. Nevel Meade and Heritage Hills are also terrific courses to play, more expensive than our metro courses but most are.

Hope you enjoy the local courses. We are fortunate to also have great tracks within a short drive of Louisville in Lexington, Cincinnati, across the bridge in Indiana, etc.

Here is a link to the Louisville metro courses: http://www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/golf/

Most are around $12.00 to walk or about $30.00 with a cart on the weekend. Great value and some good options.

Quail Chase is $26.00 to walk during the week and $34.00 on the weekend. With cart it's $36.00 and $44.00. Nevel Meade is $46.00 with cart on the weekend and Heritage Hill is $59.00 on the weekend with cart.

I live in the area. Just up I64 a bit. Anyways, Old Capitol is my favorite course. I play there a lot (it was my golf team's) home course for a couple years). Couple of other courses to try, if you are willing to drive a bit are Sultan's Run in Jasper. Old English Golf Course is a nice course, young so not in the best of shape, but its really coming around. Then of course, you have Covered Bridge, Champion's Pointe, and Chariot Run, around the area. I have not played neither of Fuzzy's Courses, but I've heard a lot of good things about them.

Also, if you are looking for a playing partner, let me know. I will be around the area for the next month, then back to school.

In my bag:

DRIVER: 905T w/ Fujikura E360 Shaft
3 Wood 906 F4 w/ Aldila Proto "By You"
Irons: MP 30 w/ Rifle 5.5 Wedges Oil Can 50*, Vokey SM 54* and 58*Putter: C-06

Don't just settle for the Metro Parks courses. Vettiner has become the go to course of all the muni's. There are also some great public courses that are a bit pricey. Nevel Meade is a pretty nice course.

You might want to look into a country club membership. There are quite a few affordable memberships available in town.


The Tiger Woods story is that he hit the ball from the practice area. I had a friend bust one up onto I-64 just to see if he could do it. It scared the crap out of me because the thought of hitting a car going 70 mph was pretty bad. I think it is more urban legend because it would be a pretty stupid thing for Tiger to do.

In my bag:

Driver: Cleveland Hibore XL 9.5*
Hybrids: Cleveland HiBore 19*
Nike Slingshot 23*Irons: Titleist 775 CBWedges: Titleist Vokey 54.10 Callaway X-Tour 58.12

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
