Latour is like the baseball field in Fields of Dream. In the movie Costner built the ball field in his corn patch; If you build it they will come.

So some coonass decided to build a golf course in a cane field and guess what, they came!

I still haven't been there but I'm getting closer to going.

Peterson's talking about bringing a 1 iron to Merion that he got from a garage sale.

Boss,

That coonass was John Brady, former owner of Mobiltel I believe. He died either last year or the year before. He basically built it because he was from down da baya and wanted a nice course close to home. I think we'd all do that if we could

More has to do with the times. Oregon wins, they are going to have one more west-coast host with only two true late night starts.

Rice wins, you've got two host out west, 5 in the eastern timezone, and LSU/OU in the central.

Wouldn't that be an issue with conforming grooves, or is that just with wedges

No doubt. I always said if I had all the land Judge Dufresne (RIP) has by 310 that you see from the bridge I'd have built a top notch course. It would have had some holes through the woods and swamp and the rest and clubhouse in the cane fields. His plantation already had a name that would sound good for a golf course, Esperanza.

I'm not sure about the groove issue. He said he's gonna play it next week though.

The groove rule only applies to clubs with 25 degrees of loft or more.
