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!

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
