Going to be in Louisville, KY beginning of March this year. Its my first trip to KY! I see online a few courses like Wildwood, Crescent Hill, Quail Chase, Big Spring, Seneca and dozens of others. There are so many differing opinions - I wondered if anyone could recommend a great course? We only have one day free for a 4 ball, so recommendations would be very welcome. Thanks.

I live in Louisville. Seneca and Quail Chase are very nice courses, I'd definitely recommend both. If you are staying in downtown or the east end, Seneca will be the closest of the two.

Another option, if you are willing to drive over to Indiana (about 15-20 minutes up I-65 from downtown), Fuzzy Zoeller's Covered Bridge is a nice course too. Check it out here: http://www.fuzzygolf.com/

Schultz, thanks very much for this and Covered Bridge looks beautiful. If I have enough time it's easily worth a short drive out.

Thanks again

Mark

Been years since I've played any public courses in Louisville now that I'm a country club snob.  :-(

(Wildwood and Big Spring are private BTW)

Keep in mind that weather and course conditioning is not the best the beginning of March, so it will be kind of a crap shoot.

I would recommend Fuzzy's courses as well, he has two in the same area, both are semi-private.  They are zoysia fairways however, so they will still be dormant the beginning of March.  I don't know if that will bother you.

Nevel Meade and Heritage Hills are two other public courses.  Nevel is more of a links style with bent fairways, which is unusual for a pubic course.

I've been trying to find a way to play Valhalla for years and no luck. If anyone knows of a way to do it,  I'd love to know.

Establishing  a relationship with a Valhalla member and playing as a guest is the most likely way.  As far as I know they still allow unaccompanied guest play, although if memory serves it costs more.  You still need a member to set it up, however

I'm not a member, sorry.

We had a member set up out tee time, but we played unaccompanied.

Thanks all, and hopefully people I'm with will want to play - seems a long way to come just to sit in a downtown bar!!

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
