Agreed with what everyone else said. I took a plan of lessons with Rob Murphy over there and he is legit. Got my swing looking much better and consistent, and he gave me knowledge to realize why I was inconsistent with my hitting.
Everything is video'd so you can see exactly what you are doing and he can show why you are not hitting it well. I would recommend.

Just went through my swing eval, and I enjoyed it. The coach worked really well with me.
My grip needed tweaking and keep my lower body steady by focusing on keeping my left hip on my original address line and allowing my left knee to bend outward in order to get more rotation.
Might not work for everyone, but after one lesson/evaluation, he made me excited to go back.

My opinion, if you plan on picking up the game and playing often - then I would get properly fitted for some clubs. If you are planning on playing a couple times a year, just grab a used set that is less than 5 years old and work on your swing.
I do think that lessons are probably more beneficial than a fitting - particularly as a high-handicapper.

re: Lessons in Baton Rouge
Posted by lsuxtremist on 5/28/20 at 9:25 pm to tigertyler
I took lessons last year with Burkstaller at Greystone. I didn’t get a ton out of it. May need to take more lessons and he did give me some good pointers. However, there wasn’t a ton of info he gave to me. He recorded me on his phone a couple times to show me my takeaway, but nothing I could take home. I also would prefer to have a trackman or some sort of data to review.
I need to take some this year and am debating who to use. I wasn’t planning to use him again.
I am a high handicapper though. Perhaps he is better at helping others that have a better game.
Has anyone had success at GolfTec?

That makes sense. I am a high handicapper playing with hand-me-down irons from the 90's and a 12 year old driver.
re: Club Champion club fitting
Posted by lsuxtremist on 11/21/19 at 9:53 am to meauxcheeks
How does Bebu Golf Studio compare to Club Champion? I planned on going to get fitted for a driver with Bebu during the holidays for $150 and going back for irons in the spring. However, CC is running an offer for 50% off on full bag fitting ($175). So for $25 more I can get a full bag fitting at CC. Is it any better or that much better at Bedu? Do they both have access to all the name brands? Is it just one person that is the fitter at CC? Is it off of matts at both locations? How does getting fitted off of matts compare to fitting on grass - wouldn't your irons react differently?

Check out youtube Golficity's Scotland series. The two guys take about a week and play a host of courses. They show on course vlogs of the courses. I think there are some companies that specialize in trips as well.
re: Spiked vs Spikeless Shoes
Posted by lsuxtremist on 10/21/19 at 4:08 pm to donRANDOMnumbers
I used to use spike, but now the only golf shoes I have are spikeless - FJ Flex. They are so comfortable. I don't notice that big of a difference with them in my swing. I haven't slipped, but if it was raining or really wet - I might would want some spiked soles.
I went last week during Cart Path Only time because the ground was soaked and I did not have any issues with traction. But I guess it might depend on your swing. I also like the ability to just wear them out of the house and not worry if I have to run by the store or whatever on the way.
Try a round wearing regular tennis shoes. They are better than that, but its pretty similar. If you are slipping a lot in tennis shoes, I would probably stick to spikes
Side note: The FJ Flex is comfy, but the opposite of water proof so walking on wet courses is not great.

I am thinking next Saturday - the 13th. Where do you want to play? I live in Denham, so Greystone would be close; but if you would rather Copper Mill, Santa Maria, or somewhere else - we could do that too. The earlier the better for me.

I have the same average score, and I have my first ever lesson next Thursday with Chris. Until last month, I had not played for 3 years. Picked the clubs back up and want to really work at it to get better. I forgot how much I enjoyed being out there.
Let us know how it goes.

Are you driving by at night? That is when they are doing the work.
Yes, I travel through twice per week at around 9:00. I understand that there is less traffic than during the day, and they are doing it at the best time. However, the traffic is stopped for miles. 20-30 minutes extra each time I have to travel that way is not fun. It has been this way for months. My 5 mph observation of driving by each week seems to be they are not doing very much and are doing it slowly.
re: I-12 Construction work at night
Posted by lsuxtremist on 10/12/18 at 10:34 am to TypoKnig
I would not... I just wanted to complain. Every time I pass by it does not look like they are actually accomplishing anything. Often they are drilling and cutting crap. I assume sometimes they have to do that - one of those they have to drill it out to fill it in situations. But the other thing is I travel is twice a day and have never noticed this many issues - for months they have been going down the interstate little by little. If you look going West bound on I-12 in the left lane, it is like a damn wagon trail.
I-12 Construction work at night
Posted by lsuxtremist on 10/11/18 at 2:37 pm
During weeknights, the construction work has been maddening...
Website says for "patching". I just don't know of this much patching that was needed. It has been going on for a while now. Also, where they patch it has been awful. Like speed bumps along the interstate now. Not a ton to discuss I suppose. Just wanted to vent.
Anyone else going through this frustration? (one lane on interstate causing huge delays) See post on website below:
(Sorry if this has been discussed previously)
I-12 & I-10 Patching, East Baton Rouge Parish
Thursday, October 11, 2018 at 1:49:08 PM
Friday, October 12th through Friday, October 19th at 8:00 PM each night until 5:00 AM the following morning (Weather Permitting).
At least one lane will be open at all times in the following locations.
• I-12 Eastbound and Westbound between I-10/ I-12 split and the Livingston Parish Line
• I-10 Eastbound and Westbound between Acadian Thruway and the I-10/ I-12 split
• College Dr. between I-10 Eastbound Exit 158 Ramp and Corporate Blvd. WB
This closure is necessary for concrete patching and related work.
There are no vehicle restrictions.
DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

Road Work at night on Interstate 12
Posted by lsuxtremist on 8/16/18 at 11:31 pm
Does anyone know what they are doing on I-12 East bound on weeknights? It seems that 2 lanes have been closed at night many nights from the Airline Hwy exit to Millerville. Seems like they are jackhammering and cutting the concrete - but for what? It has been going on for over a month.
Another season tickets thread
Posted by lsuxtremist on 10/20/14 at 4:56 pm
Apologies in advance if this is repeat. Tried to search and couldn't find definitepve answers. Could be user error...
Considering getting baseball season tix this year. I am wondering about a couple of things though.
First, would doing so be any benefit to bumping up points/status for football season tickets?
Second, in general how the crap does the points system work. After reading the TAF website I found some info, but it did not clear anything up.
It appears that if I donate $100 to philanthropy project then I get 3 points. Although I see priority points and philanthropy points referenced. I just don't know if they are the same or if you want one type more than the other.
Finally, any idea the amount of points/donations you need to spend (even to get into the upper deck or endzone)?
I appreciate the help.

I like Dez this year. Depends on your 1st round pick though. If you grabbed RB in firt round, I would love to pair him with Dez.
Falcons run blocking is below average although they do run it often inside the 10.
I would go Dez.

Does anyone just use their iPad or any app that they feel works out well? I would like to have my sheets on my iPad and have a way to scratch off or highlight the names as they are selected.
Just curious on what everyone else does.

Penalty for taking too long at a live draft?
Posted by lsuxtremist on 8/9/12 at 12:11 pm
Every year we do a live draft, and we try to keep it at a good pace so that it doesnt take all night. Last year we tried to do a "if you take more than two minutes, you automatically draft the first kicker listed on the sticker page. This actually happened late in the draft and someone was forced to accept Akers. Turned out to be not so bad of a penalty considering it was late in the draft and how good Akers ended up being.
Does anyone else do something to help push things along? I am trying to avoid "skipping" them, but I would like to incentivize everyone from taking too long.
Thoughts?
