i just bought my 14yr old a bow for his bday in april. we went to a bow shop and tried out 5 different setups and he chose the one that felt and shot the best for him. he went in wanting the Bear adapt but after shooting he chose the Hoyt Enduro. it is adjustable up to 70# and 31" draw. it will last him a long time. we were out the door with a complete setup and 6 arrows right at $1000

as a former superintendent (5 weeks) my plan in winter Nov-Feb was changing cups 2x week unless we had a large group, multiple day group, tournament, or a lot of play. If the holes needed changing, we changed them. March - October the plan on paper was Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. If we played more than 90 rounds that day and the next day was busy also, we changed them. Cups are looked at every day for condition. tee markers are moved every time we mowed which was 2-3x week. the busy tee's were moved more often. I would send a team member out to check tees, if they were beat up (par 3's) or just worn out from lots of rounds in one spot, they were moved. not every tee on a hole was moved, just the ones with the most play. Labor is Definity an issue, and we had to make the best of our time. Greens, greenside bunkers, fairways and tees were most important. changing cups on a normal day is a one person job and takes 2-2.5 hours to do it right. then 1-2 team members blowing off greens behind the mowers depending on the amount of debris and clippings on the greens. on busy tournament days / shotgun starts, 2 team members changing cups, 2-4 team memebers blowing greeens, and the team hand raking bunkers. also 1-3 team members pulling hose hand watering greens as needed.

the golden nugget has a large putting green with minimal slope. L'Auberge has a very small putting green that is also kind of flat. out of the 2, GN has more movement in it. the National just built a new putting green behind the clubhouse and it's in the grow-in phase.

EDS k-6 is still the North campus on Division street and Kirkman downtown. the South EDS Campus is grades 7-12 is in graywood. My kids go to EDS. Both schools are great option. I have coached a few kids that attended TS Cooley and they have received a great education.

Prodiamine is not labeled for greens. Label is the law!!! prodamine is a root inhibator meaning it shrinks your roots. Golf greens don't have deep roots like the rest of the course. Roots on greens is usually in the 3-5" depth, and shorter in winter. Putting prodamine on greens will reduce that root depth significantly and make for a possible rough spring transzition, especially if its wet in the spring.
on another note, after using prodiamine for a number of years, some of the Poa will become resistant and the chemical will not work anymore. we are seeing the same issue in places with Specticle herbicide. Universities are doing research, but haven't found a silver bullet yet to kill and prevent Poa from germrinating.

I enjoy River Road Coffee out of Baton Rouge. I like their Acadian and the Creole. you can get it in whole bean or ground. I can't get in Lake Charles, so when I travel for work or head east to see family, I stop into stores that carry it over that way and stock up.

I owned a 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 and the rear end went out at 37,000 miles. the repair took 14 days and never felt right so I traded it in 5 days later. The ride quality and interior features were great. the radio sync sucked. I really liked my truck until the rear end issues. If it had been repaired correctly, I may still be driving it. I traded it and went with a vehicle built pre-covid and supply issues
