This is old-school football!
The Galley Seafood on Old Metairie Road has some of the best onion rings in town. They’re of the thick variety.

LSUfreak1459, it sounds like you went with the Callaway Elytes over the Ping 440s. Is that correct?

And who is the teacher/fitter who helped you decide? I’m looking for a fitter right now, and those are the two main irons I’m considering.

Thanks for responding, gplayerjr. I’m 59-years-old and have never been fitted. I’m in Baton Rouge, so I’m thinking of going to the local GOLFTEC.

Sounds like you really liked your fitting. I travel for work, so I can get fitted pretty much anywhere in Louisiana or Texas. Who did you go to for yours?

I’ve been looking at the TM 790’s but am wondering if I need a more player-friendly set of irons.

I am a 16 handicap with 20 year-old clubs. Mind if I ask your handicap?
As geauxpurple said, Mr. B’s for gumbo. It’s outstanding!
I suck the stuffing out, spit it into the garbage, and then eat the casing.

Thanks for the advice. Probably would be best to go ahead and get fitted.

I’m most interested in PXG and Calloway. Thanks again.

Paging Bopper - new clubs

Got some cash for Christmas and am ready to upgrade all clubs. Bopper, you are the closest this board has to a golf club aficionado.

What would you recommend for a 59-year-old with average swing speed? I’d like to get graphite shafts in my irons for the first time. I’m sitting at an 18-20 handicap index right now, while 20 years ago I was a 10.

I don’t mind spending the money for nice irons and woods; I just don’t want to have to do it again in 5 years.

What would you put me in? Should I get fitted? I never have before. Incidentally, I’m 5’ 11” and 185 lbs.
On that subject, where are the best places to sell used clubs? I’m looking to upgrade from 15-year- old Calloway irons.

re: Sheriffs Sale- Real Estate?

Posted by little g on 8/12/24 at 4:42 pm to
I have attended many sheriffs' sales in my past.

One thing that I would suggest is to do some significant prework. You'll need to determine what is owed on the property: mortgage amount plus fees/costs. The best you're going to do is to buy it for one dollar over that total figure. People who I witnessed successfully buy several properties would start the bidding at that number, which would sometimes surprise and freeze other bidders.

Most people are hoping/thinking they can "steal" a property. It's hard, if not impossible, to get a really good deal, however.
And during his short stent with the Miami Dolphins, Head Coach Jimmy Johnson said of Collins, “That kid can flat carry the leather!”

And flails his arms and hands around way too much. Hopefully, he’ll get better with time.

Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Louisiana dominate the national recruiting rankings like the upcoming 2026 class does!
