WHAS 11 Tour Kentucky Ana golf .
Great day Live reporter El Bottm
Traveler recently to check out
their course how they give backo
our troops and you can also find
out why they are the gold standd
of golf in the area. Take a loo.
We have been having so much fun
checking out all of the differet
golf courses on our tour.
Kentucky and a golf cart and of course
I had to swing by Lindsay Golf course.
I'm here with Kyle to me the
general Manager out here.
Thank you so much for having me out today.
No, I'm glad to have you guys out here.
It's great opportunity to
get this word out there.
And yes, general manager
here at Lindsay Golf Course.
Great facility and.
No, glad to have you guys out h.
And Lindsay Golf Course is very unique in
the sense of its location because it's
right next to the gold vault, r?
Yeah, it's pretty unique about this course
is that when you're coming out ,
you're not just playing around the golf,
You actually get to see a
historic landmark, you know,
right by one of our golf hose,
which is pretty cool.
And this is a PGA certified cou,
but that shouldn't really,
you know, intimidate golfers
because it's open to everyone.
Yeah, exactly.
So, you know, we are PGA certif,
but the course is very,
you know, it, it fits to all,
all levels of golfers from your0
handicap to your high handicapp.
You know, number one,
you're starting off on a very,
very easy hole,
gets you feeling good about the golf course,
and then you get into the meat t
and there's going to be some blind shots,
some long part threes,
and then you get the finish on #18 with
our second easiest hole on the course.
And what better way to finish a round
of golf with a birdie opportuniy
or even an eagle opportunity?
Exactly. So such a fun way to,
you know, get started and
maybe if you're already a pro,
it's great to come out and,
you know, try your game out.
And you guys are also all about giving
back because 100% of your proceeds go
to Fort Knox service members, r?
Yeah. So another unique thing
about this course and everythin,
all the facilities on our post is that all
the funds that go into our golf course.
Go back to the troops in a way t
we put everything back to the ce
or other facilities to make sure
on their rare off they they hav,
they have an opportunity to do
something fun and exciting on p,
not have to leave post and just,
you know, it's a good way to give back
to the troops and give them something,
you know, they're grinding all the time.
So give them an opportunity
to play something, you know,
unique and different is it is really great.
Yeah. So you're going to see, you know,
soldiers out here swing in along
with just like the common peopl.
Exactly. Yeah.
You'll see soldiers out here.
You'll see some officers out he.
We have cadets.
So we're actually during the su.
We're kind of like a resort bas.
So we have a lot of the college
kids that are here for training.
So it's pretty unique,
Unique military base unlike any other.
Yeah,
absolutely. So when you know you're just
a regular person wanting to come out,
maybe you got the Tour Kentucky
on a golf cart, What's that
process like when you're wanting
to? So what's really cool and why I wanted
to be on the Kentucky on a golf cart is
because I wanted people to know that a,
Fort Knox has a golf course,
B, it is open to the public.
It's not just meant for soldiers or retirees.
And the process is not that
hard to get on base.
You just have to go through the
visitor center like you saw yourself.
You go to the Chaffee gate, you walk in.
You can either go to the kiosk,
put your ID in, takes 510 minut,
get a five day pass coming right on through,
or you can even get a year long
pass by seeing a gate guard.
They'll give you a year long pas
and then that way you don't have
to see the visitor center anymo.
And a little special we do with
that year long pass.
Once you get it,
if you show it to us inside the shop,
we're going to comp you around e
golf and just give you a cart f.
You just have to pay for the cat
fee because we know you're going
to enjoy it and then you're goig
to come back and just got to
scan that pass at the gate.
What
a great way to get out here
and play around a golf.
And so also giving back our
Tour Kentucky and a golf cart,
the proceeds from that go to
the Kentucky Humane Society.
So is that another reason why you wanted
to be 100%? You know, we're.
Big into giving, you know soldi,
Humane Society, you know,
and it's just a great opportunio
get people onto our our golf coe
and spread the word and realize, hey,
Fort Knox is not that hard to gn
and they have a hidden gem back here,
what we like to call.
Kind of the gold course,
gold standard right next to the Gold Ball.
Exactly. I think that should
be your new slogan. Thank you.
