Yep, it's less than 1/2 mile from my house but I haven't played there in over a year

So you're my neighbor too.

Give or take 30 miles.

Old Plantation on the westbank was even worse but at least it's shut down. About 20 years ago the guy who ran Fashion actually had the greens in perfect shape and was starting to do something with the fairways. He ended up selling the business and moving when he retired from his plant job.

i don't remember too many of the holes but I do remember a broken down tractor being in play on #9/18

It was still off to the right rear of the green last time I was there. A new guy took it over a few months back, I hear he has plans to redo the fairways and greens a little at a time. I know he fancies himself to be a good player but he played one of the amateur tournaments at the TPC earlier this year that most of the better golfers in the state play in; he didn't make the cut and was around 90 each day.

i do remember thinking that the ob stakes in the middle of a golf course were kind of strange, but there was actually a good par 5 then par3 in the back right corner that were actually pretty good

#5, thats it. hit a terrible drive and went ob while i was looking at the ball on the course. never been so mad about reteeing in my life

Between the tiny greens(you cannot go over them), ob, and no grass on fairways it's real easy to run up a high score.

trust me i did. its probably better to grow up playing stuff like that tho. too bad I didnt take up golf until I was 20

same here, now I wish i would have given up all other sports to play golf. baseball was always my favorite sport, now i only watch LSU when I can and maybe the world series, but I watch the bottom of the barrel PGA events if I'm home
