As long as I am at The Island, we will be Junior Golf friendly. I realize its a bit of a hike but it will always be a place for them to host High School matches, US Kids events, LGA Jr. Events and anything else.

Because Jenni Peters is an idiot. Where else in the world can a small business owner try to dictate what happens with a piece of historic public property?

Only in Baton Rouge, because Jenni Peters is aligned with Rolfe McCollister, BRAF, and the rest of the Silver Spoon Club.

Go play City Park. We love it since it has the only good and natural topography for a golf course in the area.

Either you haven't played there in a while or else you are indulging yourself with too much whatever. They just held the Course Championship there and the best players in Baton Rouge played, in fact there was a waiting list. That ought to tell you something.

There have been instances where BREC has performed some enhancements to the course and it has paid dividends. They put in an irrigation system, they planted Zoysa grass on three (however golfers insist on driving carts down the middle of that fairway stressing out the grass), they put in continual cart path... go back and look the years after and you will see an increase in play and revenue. Basically, what this says; "Improve the golf course and players will come." So, the impetus should be... put in improvements to the golf course, and it will enhance the facility. There is plenty of space elsewhere in the park for other enhancements. Common sense needs to be upheld.
The best thing that can happen is for the public to become aware of what some Utopian Elitists who have no concept of what they are advocating are trying to force upon the public who love the golf course and wish to preserve it. Simply get involved and say something about it. Numbers matter in this case.

It certainly worked that way at J.S. Clark, where BREC spent $2million on course improvements. Rounds way up at Clark, and BREC needs to spend at least $3-5 million at City Park.
