Zach Holland told ESPN Radio in St. Louis last week that he placed a golf ball in the hole on the par-3 fourth at the course before the start of a membership tournament. When he finished the third hole with his group, Holland then told his playing partners that he needed to take a phone call regarding his mortally sick grandmother. He said he'd tee off first, and then join the group on the green later in order to keep up pace of play.
By the time he joined his group again on the green, he said he told them that he "thinned" the tee shot but wasn't sure where it went. The group then found the ball in the cup, assumed he had hit a hole-in-one, and started celebrating.
Eventually, staff reviewed security footage that showed Holland driving near the fourth green well before his scheduled tee time. He then admitted to faking the hole-in-one, and resigned his membership.

"There's no excuse for what I did, and I was completely in the wrong," Holland said. "There's really no motivation. Just complete stupidity, and we were giving two shots back to the field and that's not an excuse. There's no excuse for what happened."

Holland was in the first group of the member tournament, which included a hole-in-one prize pot.

Great but sloooow.

Nope, still waiting.

Played Friday afternoon for $71. You are correct about the greens. I thought I read somewhere they were primo but that wasn't the case. Glad I didn't pay full price.

I had a 2018 GMC that went thru 2 transmissions 6 speed (needed a 3rd before I traded it in) and about 3 water pumps before 300,000 miles.
My brother had a 2020 that went thru 2 transmissions(10 speed) before 150,000 miles. Also need a transmission before he traded it in.

Played yesterday morning. It's amazing how well it drains. Of course the ponds were overfilled and sometimes extended to the fairways but the greens were fine(still had punch marks but rolled true). Some of the sand traps had water in them but most were dry and had been raked before we started(9am). Was supposed to go to Copper Mill but they were closed.

I will go out there one more time.

Greens are just as good as BREC'S best but slow.

Announcers make all shots seem difficult. One of the things I hate about them. Then if someone sticks it close from 100 yards out in the middle of the fairway, "Wow did you see how great of a shot was that"
:bow:

I was told years ago by the super(Steve I think) that LSU agronomy department was not allowed to touch the golf course. Maybe they wanted it to fail. But also told that the course could only be a golf course because the person who donated the land didn't want it to be a parking lot.
I haven't played it in a while because I went there one day and they told me that they didn't have any tee times available. Only had maybe 10 cars in the parking lot and maybe that many on the course. I sat there for 20 minutes to see if anyone else would show up to fill those tee times, nobody except the 3 guys I was supposed to play with. This was the second time it happened to us but the 1st time Steve told them to let us on. May go back before the close just for the sake of it.

Played in November, greens were so bad that I quit after 9 holes. I hope they recover because it's one of my favorite course when conditions are good.
