Scoob, I'd have to fly through the round. Gotta be in N.O. for 1:30.

Any other days you got off this week?

Your guess would be as good as mine. Lots of festivals going on, golf is in a bad state, it isn't the closest course, etc.

How many groups would you say you saw out there?

Maybe 8-10 groups? Only one 4some.

We caught up to the first group on #11 they were the only other ones we saw on the front 9. Saw about 5-6 groups crammed up on the back and one group about 6-7 holes behind us.

It just felt like a weekday in late winter/early spring. Not a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Yeah, but that effect has been absent for years now. Maybe the recession hurt too?

Without a doubt. I think there is maybe one or two courses making money in the B.R. area. That's what I'm hearing anyway.

Really, only 2? Are some in imminent danger of closing?

The ramifications of that are finally in full swing. Not only do you have smaller numbers of adults picking up the game, the junior numbers are down and thus not turning into the young adult rounds.

I've been told most are breaking even, if they're lucky.

S.M., Beaver, Copper, U Club, CCL, Oaks, and BRCC aren't going to close shop.


The rest is anybody's guess.

The Island


I've never been. I've heard it is in good shape, but I would pass 3 clubs on the way to get there.
