NKY Golf Review - Belterra Golf Resort

7/25/2008 - by NKS Editor

Belterra Golf Resort
Grade: Eagle

Immaculate! The Belterra golf course was very nice! I played the course in mid-July and the course was still in great shape besides the dry weather we've had. The greens and fairways were all plush and I cannot think of one bad thing to say about the course!

I was at Belterra for the beginning of my yearly golf trip as this year we decided to play here instead of Perry Park before heading down to Pine Valley Golf Resort in Elizabethtown, KY. Belterra has a golf package that included golf, one night stay and breakfast buffet for $125 per person. And it was well worth it!! The breakfast buffet was just as good as the golf course too! A definite value! It's definitely a must-try for golfers.

Some of the golfers in our group didn't stay at the hotel so they had to pay $76 for the greens fees. Seems a little steep but the course is stellar and well worth the price if you have not played it yet.

9th REGION SHOWDOWN

1/27/2012 - by Jordan Fugate

Growing up in Northern Kentucky with a love for high school basketball, it seemed as if it were unspoken knowledge that the two teams you “secretly” never wanted to face were the Dixie Colonels and the Holmes Bulldogs. No matter what year it was, these two teams were the so called “bullies” of the 9th region and had no problem running the scoreboard up with ease on most teams. And when then Colonels and the Bulldogs collide Tuesday January 31st, it might turn out to be one of the best high school games I have seen the past couple of years. It is no wonder why the Republic Bank Game of the Week will be this match up.

According to a Kentucky.com coach’s poll earlier this season, the No. 1 team in the 9th Region is Dixie Heights followed by No. 2 Holmes. Dixie (13-7) has walked away this year with wins over Newport Central Catholic and Lexington Catholic, while Holmes (16-4) has notable wins against Covington Catholic and Holy Cross.

Don’t let the Colonels record fool you. Yeah, the 7 losses may look a little unpleasant or inferior to Holmes’ 4 losses, but there is a reason for that. Dixie’s Head Coach Ken Chevalier had what I like to call an “Izzo” motive behind his schedule this past holiday break, schedule difficult teams so that your players can learn and grow. The Colonels had a tough road trip in which they lost five straight, four of those games by 4 pts or less, having to play some of the top high school teams from the East in the King of the Bluegrass tournament (Fairdale, Ky) and the Stop DWI Holiday Classic. (Binghamton, NY) After their return home Dixie has won 7 out of their last 8 games including a big 66-61 win over Lakota West in the Bluegrass-Buckeye Classic.

As for Holmes, what can I really say? They are having a dominant season so far despite injuries and all the traveling they have done. Jason Booher’s squad has been playing like men this season, not to mention that pounding they handed out to Newport with a 101-53 win; sorry Wildcats don’t take it personally.

Neither one of these 9th Region monsters has a heavy advantage on Tuesday. Whether Holmes thinks it or not, they are not going to be able to just walk into Dixie’s house and get an easy W. The Bulldogs couldn’t even expect that if the Colonels weren’t No. 1 in the 9th Region, have you been to a game there? Their student section makes sure when you step in the gym that you can’t hear yourself think. Holmes is hoping to copy the Lady’s Bulldog team and come away with a win at Dixie this year.
P.S. Holmes, I am definitely a fan of the new uniforms this season and for that I’ll give you a W.

Some notable players this game to keep a BIG eye on are: Brandon Hatton, (Dixie) Dontel Rice, (Holmes) and Parker Stansberry (Dixie).

AN INSIGHT TO THE 9TH & 10TH REGION BOYS ALL “A” CLASSICS

1/18/2012 - by Jordan Fugate

9TH REGION
The 9th Region All “A” Classic tournament is usually stacked with some great basketball teams, and this year is no different. Returning champs NewCath (9-4) are accompanied by Holy Cross (15-2), and the 2010 All “A” Classic champions, Newport (11-7).

Although these power house schools might seem like they may just glide through their games in this tournament, that is not the case. With teams like St. Henry with a (59-43) win earlier this season against Newport and Lloyd Memorial with wins against three other teams this season who are participating in the All “A” Classic. This tournament will be no walk in the park for any team, even the returning champs of NewCath.

Some notable players to keep your eye on this tournament are the top three players in the tournament according to (www.allaclassic.org), which include Brady Hightchew (NewCath), Jake Burger (Holy Cross), and Christian McClendon (Holy Cross).

The 9th Region All A Championship game can also be watched LIVE Saturday night at 7PM as part of the Republic Bank Game of the Week.

9th Region Boys All A Classic Bracket

10TH REGION
If anyone has been to the 10th region All “A” Classic tournament within the past eight years, you know that it is ALL Bishop Brossart. From 2003 until now the Mustangs have won every single 10th region All “A” Classic, and as shocking as it might sound 2012 looks no different. Brossart (12-4) is highly favored as the top team followed by Augusta (8-7) and Bracken County (8-11).

With Paris and Bracken County facing each other in the first round of the tournament as well as Brossart facing Augusta, it should make for some entertaining games of basketball. Although, as stated before, many people already have their minds made up about this tournament and who the champions will be, realistically I don’t blame them. However with a more difficult first couple of rounds for the Mustangs they will need to be ready to play every time they step foot on the court, if they want to extend that All “A” championship streak any longer.

Some notable players to keep your eye on this tournament are the top four players in the tournament according to (www.allaclassic.org), which include Ryan Gallenstein (Saint Patrick), Aaron Jacobs (Paris), and Zach Fardo (Bishop Brossart), and Joe Jennings (Bishop Brossart).

All 10th Region All “A” Classic games will be held at Bracken County High School January 16 - January 21.

NKY Golf Review - Hickory Sticks 2008

7/25/2008 - by NKS Editor

Hickory Sticks Golf Course
Grade: Par

I played in an outing at Hickory Sticks this summer and the course has not changed one bit from last year. It's still in pretty good shape and well kept. We always come back to Hickory Sticks because it has some challenging holes and is economical on the wallet.

NKY Golf Course Review - Perry Park

10/26/2007 - by NKS Editor

Perry Park Golf Resort
Grade: Par

Perry Park has now added a new nine holes to their golf course and named them Antlers, Whitetail, and Buckskin. I played Antlers and Whitetail, which only has two of the new wholes on Whitetail. All of Antlers' holes are from the original 18.

The course itself is in pretty good shape, especially the greens, but the fairways had a few rough spots. One of the things I don't like is if you start on Antlers, you have to play one of the more difficult par 5's first. This hole is narrow, goes up hill and is windy. Not a good hole to start on for most average golfers.

I did like the two new holes I played on Whitetail. The holes were not very long but had more sandtraps and more mounds along the fairways. I am looking forward to playing the other new holes soon.

Thank goodness we got an early tee time this day because there seemed to be many "less than average" hackers out there behind us. We also found many divot marks on the greens not fixed. So, our group tried to help out and fix as most we could.

Overall, Perry Park is a pretty open course with some good scenic views, especially when the deer come out, and there are A LOT of deer. It's a simple course but does offer a challenge if you play from the back tees.

Lindale Golf Club - GREAT Value for a nice course!

11/5/2007 - by Rex

Lindale Golf Club off US-52 in Ohio is a fantastic course for much less than what most courses around the Greater Cincinnati area cost. Normal summer rates are only $29.50 for weekends, which includes green fees & cart! The course is currently in great shape, VERY green! with some dry spots here & there in the fairways. The greens are a bit hard, but what can you expect from the huge drought we had over the summer? The course is fairly flat with pretty much wide open fairways. It does have a few dog-leg holes & a few with water that comes into play. On course toughness on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7. Keep it in the fairway & expect a great round!
