This week we’ll start things off by looking back on the week that was at Valhalla Golf Club for the 106th PGA Championship. We had a team of reporters and photographers out there (including yours truly) on the course for every day of the tournament.

Piper Hansen will talk about what she encountered at the course on Friday after news broke about the fatality of a security guard and the subsequent arrest of Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world.

We’ll also talk about the latest from the footage that was recently released involving Scheffler and one of the detectives from the Louisville Metro Police Department.

I will also share a story about what I encountered at Valhalla on Tuesday when — like on Friday — stormy weather jumbled up the planned schedule.

We will also talk about Valhalla’s chances of playing host to another PGA Championship or another major championship golf tournament.

Michael L. Jones will conclude the podcast with a round of interesting stories that he has come across on the restaurant beat, beginning with the “cookie caper” involving Please & Thank You and the 150th Kentucky Derby.

Michael will also talk about closing of a popular bar in the Highlands and the opening of a bakery in Germantown.

Dan Maloney, director of the Louisville Zoo, joins us on the Access Louisville podcast this week. During the show, LBF Editor-in-Chief Shea Van Hoy interviews Maloney about a number of different goings on at the facility, including its accreditation process.

The two also talk about plans what is current the elephant exhibit in the Zoo. The elephants are being retired to a sanctuary. https://louisvillezoo.org/elephantjourney/

This could be a real positive for the neighboring, rhino exhibit.

The two also talk about the trails exhibit and the Zoo’s train, among other topics.

We lead this week's Access Louisville podcast with a conversation about West Coast hamburger chain Jack in the Box and its journey from San Diego to the Midwest.

Louisville Business First Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett is on the show to talk about where the chain is heading next. He recently spoke to Franchisee Shane Paul about the company's plans to open in Westport Plaza in real estate that was formerly home to Chase Bank.

In total, Paul said he is planning to open six new Jack in the Boxes in the Louisville area over the next three years. We have full details on the expansion plans here. We also talk about the cost of opening a Jack in the Box, usually around $2 million and that's not including the franchise fees.

After that, we chat about things we noticed this year at the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby. The whole Access Louisville/LBF crew was at the Derby, as usual, and you can find our coverage of the event here.

And finally, we wrap up the show with talk about the latest hospital safety ratings from Leapfrog Group. There was a surprising trend this year in which all Norton Healthcare Inc.'s hospitals saw a slip in their grades and only one area hospital got an 'A' grade for safety.
