  • Jumping for more than joy

    A Lawrenceburg man doesn’t want to set a new state record for the most skydives in one day.
    He wants to shatter it.
    Troy Woods will start jumping out of a perfectly fine airplane at daylight Friday, June 22 and doesn’t plan to stop doing so until dark.
    If all goes well, he hopes to make 80 jumps that day, twice as many as the current Kentucky record of 40.

  • COLUMN: Anderson County great for high school sports, but that’s not all

    It happened again. Three times.

    Make that three times in less than two hours.

    Three times I was asked, “What are you doing these days now that the ball games are over?”

    I could only laugh about it since one of the inquiries came at Wild Turkey Trace Golf Course, where I was shooting some photos from the Pepsi Junior Golf Tour tournament. The others came shortly after.

  • GOLF: Riley breaking par on junior tour

    As Kaitlyn Riley headed to the turn in last Friday's Pepsi Junior Golf Tour event at Wild Turkey Trace, her father, Mike, looked over her scorecard.

    “She is playing all right, I guess,” he said. “She is one-over right now.”

    All right became outstanding on holes one through nine – Riley started on No. 10 – as she turned in a one-under 70 to win the girls' 16- to 18-year-old division of the event.

    Lee Robinson might be the master of the understatement.

    “I played a really good round,” Robinson said of his 18 holes in the Pepsi Junior Golf Tour event held at Weissinger Hills Golf Course in Shelbyville last Tuesday.

    Robinson, who will be a junior at Anderson County High School this fall, turned in a one-over 73 to take first place in the Boys' 15- and 16-year-old division of the tournament. Robinson was four strokes better than Thomas Pettus, of Springfield, to take the division title.
