RE: Flood of 2018 in Southern Indiana Continues
Yikes, that is nuts! We got some pretty heavy flooding in July of last year. There is a disc golf course down by the river right by my parent's house. When I was down there playing several months after the flooding you could still see the water/mud line on the trees and the end of it was a good 15 to 20 feet above head level. It was kind of creepy to stand there and think "I would be 10 ft underwater right now". Hopefully you guys get some relief soon!
One of the guys I work with has been trying to get me to try out disc golf. Yeah I know the feeling of being below the water line. I walk the riverbank lots of times, and you can always see where the water got the highest because of the mud it leaves behind on the trees above. Or to stand in the bottom of a drained lake. It's cool to see how deep the water actually was.
Disc golf is the best. Cheaper than regular golf and you can usually play 18 holes in like 45 min. Just a great way to get out and take in some fresh air. Most of the players are really cool and helpful. My brother in law used to design courses in Kentucky. They live in Indy now though.
The guy from work lives in Kentucky. Maybe he's played on those courses before
Possibly, most of them were around Lexington in the Jessamine County area. If I remember right I think Lake Mingo is one of them.
I'll have to ask my buddy if he's ever played at those courses. Thanks!
