You talking to me? :lol:

If the three wood is as good as you say, hit it off the every tee.


I did this playing in a scramble last week. Keep pushing the driver on the first few holes, pulled 3 wood on a medium length par 4 (at my age is there such a thing?) and was dead center. Used it the rest of the day. Somedays its a better option. :dunno:

This is great advice, very easy to do just bump it on and let it roll like a putt.

re: Home Course Slope Rating ?

Posted by double d on 10/5/26 at 10:51 am to
My local course is 71.5 and 121 slope, neighborhood course with plenty of water but not very long at 6600 from the blues.
7 minutes till half, Hahnville 25. HL Bourgeois 3.

Good move to play tonight considering its homecoming, court won’t have to deal with bad weather.

Oops, now 31-3, 6:40 till half

From what I read they didn’t cancel their games at all. Just moved their home games to the visitor's stadiums.

Someone in another thread alluded to them not having bleachers on the visitor's side of their stadium but I can't confirm that.

It seems to me that the school's biggest mistake overall was scheduling Carrol in the first place.


Just checked Google Earth and it looks like Assumption only has a nice grandstand on one side of the field and nothing on the visitors side. Did not know that, it looks fairly new.

Back in the 70's when we played baseball there (they were in the River Parish/Lafourche district then) their fans threw bottles at our bus when we were leaving.
I wish someone would jam the audio on the Baylor-Colorado game, these guys are brutal

I’m guessing Hahnville wants us…


Hahnville probably will be in the 18-22 seed range. Already lost twice and still have to play Destrehan and Terrebonne.

Saints over da Radahs
Graine a voler is the Cajun name of these delicious pods. We have been eating them in the office the last two weeks, they are plentiful right now.

Yes, they are really friendly until they win. They are beyond obnoxious.


Or when they lose. Had similar experience with their fans at the Sugar Bowl when Baylor beat them. The row behind us were guys in their late 20's and a few older men, all Rebel fans. Before the game and for most of the first quarter they were friendly and pretty laid back. Then their QB got hurt, one of the O Linemen fell across his leg and he was carted off. Total mood change, they started cursing us that we played dirty and hurt their QB on purpose. When the pick 6 happened that put us up 21-7 they left but not before cursing us and throwing tantrums.
Both teams using backup QB’s. Bennet has been ok but needs work because Lagway won’t make the season

Nick had left for the NFL, not Bama. Imagine the hate had he pulled a Kiffin?
Used to have the stats for all the games and decent articles. Now what little is out there is behind paywalls.

I've done it many times over the years, never gets easy. I always sit with them, talking to them while the drift off peacefully. The last lab I had to do this for was only 8 and he was special to me. Cancer and spine issues out of nowhere, It was the best thing but still hurts me after 2 years.
