I have meeting in Louisville and am considering extending stay in order to get in a round of golf on March 4. Anyone from Louisville, course recommendations? Thanks.

I went to college at the University of Louisville, but it was thirty years ago. I'm not sure if this is what you would call "timely" information.

That said, most of the city-owned parks used to have golf courses in them. Reasonably priced, decent lay-outs. Cherokee Park was my favorite, with Iriquois Park a close second.

I've been thinking about taking a ride down there. Looking at the weather it looks like you guys are about 5 degrees warmer than we are here in Dayton. We can't play because all that damn snow refuses to melt. Are the courses in Louisville still snow covered? If not, I think I'll buzz down there and play a round at Nevel Meade.

If you're looking for cheap, public, city course, Charlie Vettiner is a great layout and usually in the best shape of any city course I've played on. Very challenging.

If you want to spend a little money, and drive a little, across the river in Indiana are two great Fuzzy Zoeller courses, Champions Pointe and Covered Bridge. Covered is a links style course. Both are $45 dollars for off season rates (cart included). Both of those courses are about the same distance/drive time as Nevel is from downtown, roughly 15 minutes.

Nevel and Heritage Hill are very nice. In south Louisville there is a 27 hole layout, Quail Chase that is another nice public course. Usually in rough shape this time of year, though.

Sorry, probably more information than you needed. Good luck with weather; I think next Thursday and Friday are supposed to reach the low 50's but it looks like rain may be in the picture. Which means it should be sunny!

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
