Hi from Lexington, Ky!

I've just started trying to become decent at the game a few months ago. I was out most of the summer because of a knee surgery, but have been bitten by the bug in the last few months.

I usually shoot in the mid 90s, but broke 90 for the first time this month. My goal is to regularly shoot in the mid 80s. We will see.

Hey Kentucky peeps!

I am lucky to have married a Beautiful Lady from KY, and we are leaving the big city next summer to move back to KY!!! Louisville, to be exact.

I have played Nevil Meade, which was nice. . . any nice courses you could recommend??

Hi from Lexington, Ky!

Well hey, come on up to the area dangerously close to Ohio. Maybe we should have a Sand Trap golf outing for everyone in Kentucky?

Hey Kentucky peeps!

There are a lot of them down here. My wife is from Southern Indiana (Evansville). That's practically like being from Western Kentucky, anyway.

I haven't played any courses in the Louisville area. As far as Central Kentucky goes: Kearney Hills in Lexington is awesome. Easily the best city course I've ever played. Old Silo is in Mt. Sterling, about 30 minutes east of Lexington. It is usually ranked among the top courses in the state. I got to play there for $10 a few weeks ago, because I know a guy that works there.

As far as the Evansville area: Quail Crossing is nice. I'm sure there are enough courses in the Louisville area to keep you busy, I just don't know about any of them.

That could work. I have grand parents that live in Florence.

Covington is dangerously close to Ohio. Are there a lot of Buckeyes fans up there?

Unfortunately. Ugh. I'm a Wolverines guy which kinda makes my life a miserable one during college football season.

      My Non-technical Review of the Titleist Tr2 Hybrid

      By GolfLug ·

      Thanks for getting back. Much appreciated. So how is the distance compared to your previous club? Also, dispersion? In general, did you think it an upgrade?

      My Non-technical Review of the Titleist Tr2 Hybrid

      By snapfade ·

      I believe @GolfLug ask me to post my thoughts on it, but this for anyone interested on an unbiased review. I got the 4 hybrid with a Tensie AV Blue 65g R flex shaft.  This club had one requirement. hit the ball 180 yards. 175-178 is all I can get out of it and I am fine with that.  It did not come with a wrench. Two things about that. One, I have a wrench, two, I have no need to make an adjustment. I thought about adjusting it to close to a 3 to get an extra yard or two, but really no need to. Hits off the fairway with no issue and I took a few whacks out of the rough and seems to do its job. Our rough is not that bad so for any thick stuff I dont know. Bottom line it works. It does its job for me without issue. One thing that so far has been good is that it doesn't bleed off to the right like my driving iron did. It had a gentle fade to it that I had to compensate for when I aimed. I hit this pretty straight so far. Not too high of a ball flight. The shaft is a "mid launch" shaft. I did not Mevo this. The only number I cared about was max distance. If I was all over the place with it I would have tinkered with it and had the Mevo out, but no need. I hit about 40 balls or so with it on the range and then played. I like it , I might get a 5 now. They are $249.00 at retailers everywhere. New models are coming I'm told so that's why they are on sale. Sorry for the lack of technical launch monitor data, the end result was what I was looking at and it did it right out of the gate.
