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.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By billchao ·

      New clubs came in this morning and I happened to be working in the area so I picked them up. PING G430 Max 3W (-1.5°) with PING Tour 2.0 Black 75, X-Stiff at -1/2" PING G430 3H with PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 85, X-Stiff Those replace my old fairway wood and hybrid, making all 14 clubs in my bag fitted. I'm going to need new excuses for bad shots 😜

      Scottie & Rory on Wedge Game

      Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM ·

      Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward.

      Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point.
