re: David Toms' tweet (updated)

That's awesome.



He is opening a world class training facility in Shreveport this summer. I just read about it and now I have a stiffy at work.

The Academy will include a 9-hole par 3 course, a massive driving range spanning 18 acres with over 2 ½ acres in teeing space, 8 greens dedicated to putting and chipping, and three regulation holes (par 3, 4 and 5). Noted golf course architect and Shreveport resident Jim Lipe has been working hand in hand with Toms on the design of the facility. Lipe, who has over 25 years of golf course architecture experience as a senior designer for Jack Nicklaus, has helped shaped the 60 acres into a golf oasis despite the property’s location in the middle of a metropolitan area. Phase two of the complex will include a state of the art clubhouse with three indoor hitting bays, the latest video equipment, fitness center and youth achievement center.
