Bikini-clad Livvy Dunne shows off her flexibility in stunning new pictures from Georgia lake trip
Livvy Dunne may have retired from gymnastics in April, but the former LSU star showed that she hasn't lost any flexibility as she shared a series of pictures from her Georgia lake trip. After traveling to Montauk with her MLB boyfriend Paul Skenes last month, Dunne has been spending time in Lake Oconee with her sister Julz and other friends. And the national champion gymnast showed off her skills in one photo posted to her Instagram, as she performed a handstand on the dock while wearing a leopard-print bikini. In other photos which made up the carousel post to her feed, Dunne could be seen smiling as she posed by the water in a blue swimsuit, while she and her sister Julz embraced each other in another picture. Dunne even tried her hand at water skiing, as she posted an action shot of her holding on for dear life. She captioned her post: 'The summer I turned into a lake girl.' The snaps surfaced on Saturday after Dunne shared a similarly happy picture to her story on Friday, as she beamed at the camera while sitting at a lakeside cabin. Earlier in the week, the social media influencer made headlines when she weighed in on one of the internet's most viral moments - Taylor Swift's appearance on the 'New Heights' podcast, hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce. Swift, who has faced backlash from some male NFL fans for the screen time she received while cheering on boyfriend Travis during Chiefs games, leaned into the criticism during the show. 'I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens - it's more of me,' the pop icon joked. Dunne reposted the clip to her story, adding 'She gets it' - signaling her support for Swift's response. It's been several months since Dunne - who had been a fifth-year senior at LSU - formally announced her emotional retirement from gymnastics. In a video released by LSU, she narrated: 'Time flies when you're having fun. Something said when you're enjoying yourself to the point time seems to slip away from you. And that's exactly how the past 20 years in this sport have felt. She even tried her hand at water skiing and posted and action shot of her holding on 'The highs, the lows, making the USA national team and competing for our country, every risk was worth the reward. Finishing my career over the past five years of the best university in the world has been an incredible journey, and I'm forever grateful.' She continued: 'Gymnastics, you have filled my heart and shaped be a part of me. You've shaped me into the person I am today, creating memories and sisterhoods that will last a life support. You are my first love. 'To my family, especially my parents. Thank you for everything, for supporting me through it all, and to my childhood coaches from New Jersey and the LSU coaching staff, thank you for pushing me to be great. and yes, time did fly by, and I will cherish every memory for the rest of my life. 'Thank you for everything gymnastics. You were so good to me.' While Dunne will no longer be competing in gymnastics, she's remained around the sports world as she's cheered on her boyfriend Skenes - who is considered one of the best pitchers in baseball.

Reynolds Lake Oconee Announces Eighth Golf Course, Third For Members
Reynolds Lake Oconee has announced that construction on an eighth course at the lakefront community ... More is underway, with Fenmoor set to be the third for members only. Reynolds Lake Oconee unveiled plans for its eighth golf course within its sprawling resort real estate community, with the forthcoming Fenmoor Golf Club being the third that will be limited to member-only play. Construction is already underway and the 18-hole layout, designed by architect Steve Smyers, is scheduled to open in Fall of 2026. Fenmoor will join The Creek Club and Richland, which debuted last year, as the third private course at Reynolds Lake Oconee, where golf demand has surged in recent years among a residential base that's continued to not only grow but get younger. Ahead of Richland's 2024 opening, annual rounds at Reynolds Lake Oconee's courses had jumped 44% compared to pre-pandemic years. Located in the northeast corner of the 12,000-acre lakefront community, Fenmoor will occupy a distinctive site at the headwaters of Lake Oconee, featuring marshland edges, native grasses, and rolling terrain that provides natural elevation changes and water features throughout the routing. Nine greens will be positioned directly along the water's edge, with Lake Oconee visible from much of the course. "The land is absolutely ideal for golf," said Smyers. " We're very fortunate to have a piece of property this diverse, with the movement of the land -- gentle rolls, swales, valleys, hummocks, mounds, and ravines -- combined with the presence of water running through it. This site allows us to create a course with a distinct look and feel unlike any other at Reynolds Lake Oconee.' Steve Smyers is the architect overseeing construction of the newest course at Reynolds Lake Oconee. As the name suggests, water will be a defining feature of the course. Beyond the presence of the lake itself, the Fenmoor site is interwoven with rivulets and streams branching from Richland Creek, providing for multiple water crossings and creating an ever-changing landscape between lakefront, wooded wetlands, and marshes to grassy fields and meadows. 'Native plants will connect the course to the marsh, the lake, and the tree line,' Smyers explained. 'We want the golf course to feel as if it simply emerges from the landscape.' Water will be a defining feature of Fenmoor, with nine water's edge greens. When Fenmoor opens, it will give Reynolds Lake Oconee 144 total holes of golf, trailing only Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina and Boyne's collection of Michigan properties in terms of total holes among American golf destinations. While other resorts such as Bandon Dunes in Oregon and Michigan's Gull Lake View offer more holes open to public play, Reynolds' unique blend of public and private options serves both resort guests and its 4,000 member families at the property midway between Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia. Five of Reynolds' seven existing courses – Great Waters, The Landing, The National, The Oconee, and The Preserve – are open to public play as well as guests of the on-property Ritz-Carlton. In addition to the new course, Fenmoor Golf club will feature a dedicated putting course, numerous short-game areas, and expansive practice facilities designed for game improvement. There will also be a new clubhouse that will feature a restaurant and bar, men's and women's locker rooms and lounges, terraces, and a variety of gathering spaces. The logo for the newest course at Reynolds Lake Oconee: Fenmore, which will open as a private, ... More members-only layout in 2026. "Fenmoor Golf Club reflects our constant vision to thoughtfully grow Reynolds Lake Oconee while preserving the natural beauty and character that make this community so special," said John Gunderson, CEO of Daniel Communities, the managing partner for Reynolds Lake Oconee. The community in recent years has continued to evolve into a multi-generational destination, supported by expanded amenities including 11 restaurants, a Sporting Club, regular entertainment, the wealth of lake activities, and wellness and fitness facilities including pools, gyms, tennis and pickleball courts, hiking trails, and an on-site spa.
