Im not a big fan of Latour because of the layout but it is always in great shape.

Well that's just not the case. The Web doesn't typically play at great courses. Nashville Golf and Athletic Club is like the 15th best course in Nashville.

you’ve said multiple times you’ve never played LaTour, the back 9 is good, the front is boring, and the last time I played it a few months ago the conditions were average at best.

LOL drainage was a poor word choice but hopefully whatever the hell they did will help course in the future

The greens are terrible


I heard this the other day too.

Is this from over stressing during the Chitimacha?


Friend told me they were on the verge of losing them completely (probably an exaggeration)

The single biggest problem with LT in my opinion is the GM. That bitch needs to go.

Ah yes. I think they have made some good decisions by limiting membership and also getting rid of some of the grumpy frickers that work over there but still some way to go I suppose

The Broussard Chamber of commerce tournament was Monday. TI played as well, greens were just punched. Still rolled decent, course was in good shape as usual. Fun tournament played Oakborne today, course was n better shape than LT

Bandit said it’s in good shape


It’s a good place to go if you like feeling like nobody wants you there

Ellendale is a nice track. It’s usually in great shape. It’s an old school country club course. Pretty tight, but not unfairly so. If you spray your driver, you might have a long day. The Par 4’s have a lot of variety. You’ll hit most of the clubs in your bag. The par 3’s are pretty decent too. Couple over ponds, none are brutally long. The Par-5’s are prob the weakness. 3 of them are essentially the same hole with different lengths. I always look forward to playing there.
