I have been binging videos and think I could shoot well:

Do you need to make a tee time in advance or can you just walk-on if you get there early?

Then head south and walk right in to Mar-a-lago while you’re at it.


Should be no problems at all!

No. I have been binging old championship videos.

Allegedly, there is a similar course in Lake Charles that holds tournaments at multiple times a year. It is located on Petro Point Dr? and it looks like it is only $10 to play (when not closed for special events).

Not worth it. The cart fees are too high.

Lake Charles and Augusta are certainly apples to apples.

None of the videos I have watched (few more below) show any carts. I don't think they are allowed.

Good one Lester. I’ve come to the conclusion that chicken enjoys keeping a few trolls around

I could place your ball on the green at Augusta and you couldn't make par on any hole.

Thanks. I know there is a certain "prestige" about playing the course in Augusta but some of the holes in Lake Charles look almost identical:

Call them and ask for a tee time. Record the call and post it on here for us to listen to.

I’m not sure if that course is still open but it was a doozy back in the Ocho days of sports broadcasting

You’ll have better luck walking on with the twilight rates.
