They’re managing LT, but they don’t own it. I would imagine that, if what you predict happens, they will be shown the door.

Everything I’ve heard from members has been very complimentary.
I read an article about the event at Augusta National with Reagan, and why it never made headlines. Another famous event happened on the same day, which kept the Augusta event buried. I think it was the invasion of Grenada.
I’m a low ball hitter, not by choice, but because of my swing DNA. So I use the Pro V1-X to get more height on the ball.

I think some amateur golfers may gravitate toward a low spin ball because that’s what most pros use.
I did the same thing on LSU old front nine, hole #8. Hit a worm burner, nailed the RR track, and bounced back over my head.

It is true that heating golf balls “unnaturally” with any type of chemical hand warmer, similar to those hand warmer packs used when snow skiing, is illegal. Body heat is okay. On cold days, I use 2 balls, putting one in my pants pocket to keep warm with body temperature, and rotate them from hole to hole.

Looks like driving range at Coquille is part of Phase 4 plans. Does anyone know the time frame of the phases?

I like Hunt Palmer; has good takes on things, and doesn’t yell into the mike.
Watching with my adult children in the Lod Cooke bar, of all places. It was a good central location for us to meet, and we rented a room there to crash after. Great time. Had the place to ourselves.

re: "Tennis" elbow experience?...

I’ve had much experience with tennis elbow, unfortunately. Both elbows at different times, golf and tennis related. Have used steroid injections, stretching, resting, PRP, and finally surgery (obviously last resort). The best non surgical treatment I found (recommended to me by a tennis pro with much experience with this) is the Fiix Elbow device. Check out the website. Cost $300, I think. Very good customer service.

Tchefuncta CC and Beau Chene CC cost

Thinking about moving from BR to Northshore. Right now, I drive to Carter to play, so drive to there would be similar with a move to the Northshore.

Can anyone tell me the initiation fee and approximate monthly dues for TCC and BCCC for a 63 y o single golfer? Yes, I know I can call them, but I’m lazy, and partaking in a Sazerac at present.
I blew my Achilles on vacation, and dragged my leg through the airports on the way home. Just couldn’t do the wheelchair.
Side note: When you’re physically handicapped, nobody looks you in the eye. I guess they don’t want you to think they’re staring.

Amazing how people park with 2 wheels off the path around the green. I guess it’s from habit of pulling their cars off the the side when parking?

Also, I visited a driving range that had a sign showing how to take divots properly; a long, thin line, not a square or scattered divots. I wish all ranges had that sign; many people don’t know this.
Mett was on the team and wasn’t redshirting. My take has always been that he should’ve been the plan B in the Championship game. If he didn’t have a good grasp of the offense (I have no idea), then teach him 6-8 pass plays for a change of pace. It would’ve completely surprised Bama.
