Valhalla is fantastic! Olde Stone ran some good specials for lodging and golf last year. Stay in a cottage on property, cook your own breakfast, you could do it affordably. Not sure if they are doing it again, but I hope so. Check their website!

Looks like they still offer the stay and play deals.

Wow, there are lots of Ky boys here.

I love the courses in Lexington. Many really nice ones. But how about Old Silo
in Mt Sterling? Now that is one nice course.

thought i would post up here since my drive distance thread has gone to shit.

Went to golf etc today and was going to get my clubs bent. They said i needed them 2* upright. So first up is my 6iron. Put it in the vice/machine and a kid who works there starts bending/lunging with a cheater bar and SNAP......breaks right at the hosel.

They acted like they were going to get it taken care of with cleveland, i hope they do so in a timly fashion, i have a tournament next weekend.

That sucks. I'm sure they'll get it taken care of. For what it's worth, I've had a couple people mess with my clubs around town and I don't trust anyone but Bob (at Golf Etc) to make adjustents anymore.

Also, I don't know for sure, but I don't think the CG1 Tour's are forged heads, are they? May be the reason it broke. I used to have a set of older Clevelands and no one would touch them for fear of breaking them.

im not sure if they are forged or not. All i can find on them is that they have CMM technology. Carbon Metal Matrix. Says they are supposed to feel softer than a forged club. As far as whether that matters or not. He said they had been bending cast clubs all day, and really always have and that shouldnt matter. Should have had Bob do it i guess. They had what looked like a 15yr old kid doing it and he was bouncing to get the club to bend. I have never seen this done before(bending clubs) but im sure a smoother controlled bending process is ideal.

Either way, hopefully they take car of it asap. I am going to call today and make sure they atleast called yesterday.

Update: Bob at Golf etc is an awesome guy. Talked to him yesterday morning, they are going to take care of everything and he said he was waiting on a call back from clevelands tech dept about how to and if to bend these clubs. If they are unable to be bent he said he would help me out the best he could with a new set.

He will be the only one touching my clubs when/if i get fitted.

Good to hear. Yeah, I've known Bob a couple years or so. Really nice guy and knows his stuff when it comes to golf equipment.

Hello fellow kentuckians. I just joined yesterday and saw this thread. Currently I live in Louisville, originally from western PA. I became a member at Woodhaven CC her in Louisville a month ago and decided to pick up the game then. Haven't been to any of the other local courses yet.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
