I located AJ Jolly's course in Alexandria, KY by calling a driving range and asking for recommendations. The structure on the left hand side is the Jolly's house. A family run operation, they knew everyone else by name, and were slightly taken aback when I walked in wearing loafers and asking to rent clubs. That being said, I got sorted out and hit the back 9 in my docksiders and suit. Not my best idea as the whole region has been inundated by record breaking rainfall which resulted in a bit of mud being speckled across every visible surface.
It was a beautiful day to be out there, especially because I was able to walk the course alone and really enjoy the sun, birds and variety of trees and vistas which spread out in KY style around every hole.
It was not crowded which allowed me to do a little self-portraiture and relish every simple stroke (except the two which ended up in the drink...).
FORE!
The course is located about 30 minutes from Cincinnati, on the KY side of the border and is surrounded by a state park of the same name. The major feature is a large lake, which on this particular day, was the color of a twix bar due to the runoff from the incessant rain.
All in all a winner of an afternoon.... Not the Derby, but fun none the less...
