Long time, first time caller. I live in the BR area and looking to golf with some people. I have a few buddys who I golf with but you know how it is with life, family, work, etc it can be tough to wrangle everyone. We all early 30’s dudes just trying to golf when we can. I’m sure it’s been done here before but curious if anyone would be down to play a round/start a little group.

I’m always down to scramble or play just for fun. Just depends on what everyone wants to do. When me and my buddy’s play we never want to have an amount of money that would make any of us uncomfortable or resent any of the others. I have lots of engineering buddies and they are notoriously stingy so I can’t ever get them to lay down some money just for fun. Sorry, no MJ level betting $30k a hole lol.

Anyways, I play around 90 if no mulligans. Best score is 83 Santa Maria from the blues. Most recent score was Webb 92 but no warm up, 5 weeks off, and the course was stacked up bad, no flow. Last few times been sub 90 pretty consistently. Played Pelican Point around new years shot 94. 18 birdies app has me just above 19 handicap for 16 rounds but there’s lots of bad golf days in there too lol. Depending on how much of advance I’m down to meet areas not more than hour away or so from BR on weekends.

TLDR; Anyone in BR or surrounding area need or wanna golf group, holla at me. Not great but decent golfers who try and are getting better. We early 30s so if that’s weird for any but we don’t discriminate. I’ve had my arse kicked by plenty of old man game, just right down the middle for 185-200yd every damn time.

Haha, why? I hope it’s not because you think you’re too bad. I’m no stranger to the great tee shot then fall apart 80yds to the hole and double bogey. In fact that was my game yesterday. But if you are too good I understand it. Have a buddy I work with who’s a scratch golfer and I feel like crap when I play with him. What’s your handicap?

Ok good, yeah that score definitely fits in! I don’t mind playing with anyone as long as it’s not like 7 shots to get to the green because every hole, that’s no fun for anyone. I mean we all have bad days and holes so there’s no shame but if that’s your game all the time, probably hit the range and a lesson.
I also don’t want some dude who shoots in the 70s thinking he’s gonna be a shark and take all the fishes’ money. Be it as little as it may be…. But if they were cool and wanted to come and could put up with some bogey golf, sure I don’t mind!

I'd be down to play. I've been playing solo mostly right now since I'm just getting back into golf. I wanted to break 100 consistently before I started playing with people. I'm doing that now, I shot a 93 at copper mill last weekend. I don't play in BR too often, it's just hard to find decent early tee times. I mostly play in Zachary at beaver or copper, or I play the Island in Plaquemine. I don't mind playing webb or santa maria though. Shoot me an email, bonkers4u87@gmail.com

Can’t play this weekend but can most. Live in New Orleans but don’t mind driving to Baton Rouge. Although tee times there are hard to get relatively early

Sounds good Bonkers. Ted, it just depends on how much in advance we know. Webb is easy to get morning weekend times if you book it 3-4 days in advance or else you gotta settle after 10am. Santa Maria same kinda thing. Weekends get so stacked up there, good luck finishing under 4hours 20 min.

Roach yeah probably weekends mostly. I do have time midweek especially with time change coming up. But it’s probably more short notice like 1-2 days max unless we all wanna play midweek and I just take off work.

But I’m down to play copper mill, beaver creek, Webb, Santa Maria, pelican, or the island. Never played in New Orleans but I’m down to play there too.

I’m down to join a group. Cancelled my pelican membership cause I got tired of playing alone. I mostly play weekdays when the kids are in school
