It’s “Moops”.

We go to Navarre Beach at that time every year. Tiger Point and Hidden Creek are your two options. Regarding Hidden Creek, remember to ask about their green aerating schedule. They always seem to aerate that week, on Wednesday and Thursday, closing 9 holes at a time. Consider playing early in the week to avoid that.
There is a book called Accident and Deception: the Huey Long Shooting, which looks into this. Written by Donald Pavi, MD, who interviewed people including at least one former bodyguard of Long. It’s a good read if you’re interested in this.
If they were to change the format, I’d rather 4 days of best ball over 4 days of alternate shot. It’s fine as is, though.

re: Hitting out of a divot

Yes, it sucks. But, the designation of a true “divot” is too arbitrary and subjective for the rule to work.

Sidenote: Does anyone else notice that, when a pro hits out of a divot, he seems to hit a great shot?
I’m gonna miss LSU driving range.

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.

re: Cold Weather Golf Tips

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.

re: Driving Range on the Northshore?

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?...

Posted by Eye dentist on 1/13/26 at 2:27 pm to
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.
