KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!!

Past Chairman, Southern Indiana Resident, and Genuinely-Good-Guy Larry Limp of LNL Trucking has reminded us that Google Maps does not offer a a good route for people traveling from more northern counties.  Larry says, "Ignore Google maps and continue south on 37 to Paoli, then take US 150/SR56 West to French Lick. Staying with SR 56 to arrive at the hotel."

Thanks, Larry!!

Marvin Johnson & Associates, Inc. Golf Outing
Thursday, September 25th Noon-5PM
Donald Ross Course.  $140

​The Donald Ross Course allows golfers to step back in time and experience the game the way it was meant to be played. Built in 1917, this award-winning course designed by renowned architect Donald Ross maintains nearly all the classic elements of its original design. Among the trademark Ross features are 80 deep-faced bunkers that can challenge even the expert. The severely undulating greens were, and still are, some of the most radically shaped and contoured in golf. A 2006 restoration ensured the integrity of this classic layout remained intact. This par-70 course has been rated the No. 2 public course in Indiana by Golfweek every year since 2011.
