A round up of Louisville sports news

Access Louisville

The Access Louisville podcast takes a surprisingly sporty turn this week.

We've got an interview with Bev Yanez, head coach of Racing Louisville FC. Yanez, who's in her first year leading the team, tells us about her career in soccer and how she found her way to Louisville. We also talk about what it's like to be a working mom of two small children who is also working in a high-profile sports job. For more on Yanez, check out this profile story we recently posted as the season is getting set to begin.

After the interview, we talk about a couple other local sports developments in the world of bowling and golf.

LBF Reporter Joel Stinnett is on the show to tell us about the Executive Strike & Spare, a bowling alley that has long been located near the Kentucky State Fair Grounds, moving to Jeffersontown. It'll be taking over a Dick's Sporting Goods location on South Hurstbourne that is expected to close soon.

In the world of golf, Stinnett also tells us about a story he recently finished up about Eagle Creek Golf Course, in Oldham County, building a new $3 million clubhouse. The new one-story, 10,600-square-foot clubhouse will include a pro shop, a basement for golf cart storage, a party room, two golf simulators, a covered porch in the front and a residential unit to house the course superintendent.

And we also talk about a new golf attraction that recently opened at Oxmoor Center — the technology-forward Puttshack. As we reported this week, it's tech. It's mini golf. It's both — mixed with a lot of food, drinks and bright lights.

One more thing — we also talk with the newest member of the Louisville Business First team and the Access Louisville crew, Reporter Piper Hansen. Hansen grew up in Louisville and will be covering residential real estate, professional services and Southern Indiana.
