Grand Ridge this weekend....may be the last chance I have to play it again before it shuts down unless they get a serious membership boost in the next few weeks.


Unfortunately they are fighting an uphill battle right now. When the "new ownership" took over a few years ago they had a terrible business plan. It was guanunteed to fail.

The people behind this new push have good intentions but it will be almost impossible to turn a profit with what they are proposing.

Just buying time IMHO.

For real.

Last time I was there was about a month ago. Had a black bear walk out on me by #3 tee box.



Never saw a bear, but I've seen deer

Last time me and Bandit played there, there was a boar with balls the size of softballs behind 2 green. Was at least 3 bills

Not really. Nobody has asked me to be their partner yet

You going to volunteer again? I will be out of town during the week so I'm not sure how much I will be out there this year.

I haven't signed up yet and probably won't. If I do I'm only doing mornings. Haven't touched a club since early November and really haven't had the urge to play........too much fun filling the freezer with specks and reds.

How've you been? I was in Nola last Thursday for a baseball thing. Played Audubon for shits beforehand since that's where the alumni tourney will be in a couple months. Should have hit you up.

the homegirl Condi called me up to play Augusta, but I'm gonna play links at land's end. Don't want her getting the wrong idea since valentine's day is coming up soon.

I played last Friday at TPC. First time I played since July. Managed to break 80 so I was happy

We really do need to catch up. No idea what you're up to now. I'll let you know when I'm back in town.

Yep. I've had fliers mailed to my house soliciting membership. They've also had some neighborhood meetings regarding the course. Problem for me is that I would have to play there several times a month to make it worth my while...and I don't live in Willowdale, close, but not in that subdivision. Then I hear they also have "Community" membership options which allow for use of the tennis courts and a few other things with "limited golf." But, again, I don't think I'd get my money's worth with that either.
