Hi All.

I wanted to let everyone know that I just signed up and that I enjoy golf very much. I'm located around the Louisville area, and I am looking for a local golf course to join. I'm hoping that I can find some advice from people who are more experienced than myself. Please respond and let's get to know one another.

I'll close by say, it's better to be at the golf course than at work.  Let's go!

TangoDiesel, some great deals at local clubs in Louisville right now.  Are you looking for just golf, golf and social, golf, social, and a pool?  Let me know and I'll be glad to share my experience with some of the local clubs.

Dear Highscoreinky,

Greetings. I would say at this point I'm just looking for somewhere to play golf for me and my two older boys & we're not necessarily interested in alot of fluff (don't have the $$).  My boys tell me that they want to play golf, but they have a hard time listening when I try and teach them - that will probably be my next thread! LOL. What can you share with me?  Thanks.

Welcome Tango!  I have also heard Woodhaven is a pretty good deal on memberships.  But you should shop around.  With the economy, you may be able to get a great deal at a little bit better course.  A few years ago, I heard Oxmoor was hurting for members.

I play so little, that I usually go to Nevel Meade.  If you haven't played there, treat yourself!  And it is only around 30-50 bucks, depending on time and day.

Thank you very much!  It's great to be here, I'm already feeling like I'm getting to know some people.  Have you been playing much this year?

Hey Dartguy,

I'm like you . . .  as I have heard that some local clubs are trying to gather bigger attendence, but it's hard. I have played Sleepy Hollow and Nevel Meade, both worth the money.  I have a local course down the road, but they are asking around $1000 per year for BASIC membership and cart.  Not sure if I want that or just play here and there as I feel like it.   Your thoughts?

Hi BigAl5150 - Glad to meet you.  Would you happen to be a Van Halen fan?  (The 5150 reminded of them) - sorry for showing my age, but how is the golf course where you're at?

Regards,

TangoDiesel

Hey Tango,

Sorry I haven't been here in a while.  I don't get to play much lately (haven't hit a ball yet this year), but when I get the chance to go to Nevel, I'll send you a pm.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
