No not at all but to say that Oakbourne has the best greens in the state is laughable.

That's funny. I ran into Pete Dye at a shell station in Luling a few years ago. He noticed the hat I was wearing from a tournament I had recently played in. He said, "a Reese Jones track, I like Reese. He's the only man in the country hated more than me!"

Then why are they getting ready to strip them and go with a different grass?


Which club do you think has the best greens in Louisiana?

CCLA greens circa 1988 when they had Bent must have been the best Louisiana has ever seen.

I know this is had to believe but Pelican Point had the best bermuda greens I have ever played on in Louisiana around 7 or 8 years ago. Fast and true.

Everything I've played in the last few years is grainy as hell or beat up. I don't get to play outside the city anymore.

As far as BR courses, IMO:

CCL has the best layout
BRCC is the most consistent at staying in great shape
UC is a 800 lb. gorilla with a chainsaw for a dick, requires a more rounded game to score.

Play all 3 pretty regularly

I've always thought TPC's greens were pretty good year round.

Local course rank:

Bluffs
CCL
BRCC
Uclub

Tie--Santa Maria, Island, beaver, copper, greystone

Pelican
Webb
LSU

Santa Maria would be #2 for me if it was private and in equal condition as U-Club. U club conditions are pretty good year round.

I wish UClub was not so hard. It is definitely 6-8 strokes harder than a typical course.

If they would let the grass grow a little plusher around the greens, it would make it much more tolerable.
