So down voted for the current condition of the City Park golf facility. I guess the down votes must be from people who never was around in the 70's and 80's until Katrina. I loved the parks golf facilities. It had something for everyone at all levels.

Junior Course: We took the bus up Airline Hwy transfer to Carrollton Ave to the park. Get out at the 18th hole of the South Course and walk to the Junior Course club house and play all day for a few bucks. Purchased Jack Nicklaus golf clubs with money I saved and purchased at Security Sporting Goods for less then $100 bucks full set! It was great way to for kids to beat it around and not bet in the way of more advanced golfers. It was a nice layout with three hole forced water carry.

Old South Course: Once we got better moved up here and it was my favorite area of the park. It's where the PGA New Orleans open was played back in the 50's. We also played the North course. Always walked a just a few buck for around.

West and East Course: Once we could play decent made the move to the better golf course for like $12 to 16 bucks to walk if I remember correctly. Played here through out college when back home from going to LSU.

So it provided something for everyone and this is why when I go back and look now it is depressing because I know it was a jewel in the middle of the city. I'm just sad that no city administration has done something or a private group has not stepped up!

Had a DEI hire a black woman as an "Electrical Engineer" in a big chemical company I was working for and she was assigned to one of our plant expansion projects. After one team meeting I told my boss she is clueless has no idea what she is doing! Well after a few weeks the plant team members asked for her to be replaced. Well it was not her fault she was in over her head. Felt sorry for her but... She went to a black college. They moved her around to different departments but in the end she quit.

Then on the other hand worked with a black male Electrical engineer from the east coast and he was a work machine. Dude was on top of everything and one of the best I worked with in over 30 years in the industrial plant field. Not sure which college he went to but dude was solid!

So every person should be judged only on the output and work ethic!! The cream rises to the top but in this day and age you have to work harder to make up for the ones who can't perform!

Glad I'm retired and I do not have to work in this crazy woke environment anymore!

Morons will listen and have no idea what she has been talking about! This will never be covered on the main stream! But then again they will not listen and understand what is happening. This administration has the economy on the right track change does not happen over night but is headed for a big boom!

Why would anyone have negative comments about this investment this dude is providing for golf? Any golf facility in the BR area should be welcomed with open arms. Moved out of LA years ago but one of the few areas I would move back to would be the St Francisville area but with no golf courses that's a no go for sure. If the Bullfs was back in business I would be all in to move back.

When it was over!

Was on a work assignment in Mumbai for six weeks and felt like six years. 23 million people with the vast majority living in poverty. Had a local driver and we has 3 fender benders. The traffic was like no other and I live now in Katy, TX. But most of all the dirt and smell can not be described. I said everyone should be forced to go there and you will realize how great we have it here. Car horns blaring constantly all the time! Had no idea what I was getting my self into when I accepted that assignment!

Loved this series! Excellent!

Had a friend who drove a limo picked up Arch and wife for an event at the Dome where he was being honored by the Saints at half time. He brings them to the Dome and hangs out waiting to take them home. Arch calls right after half and said he is ready to go home. He brings them home gets out opens the car not a word or thanks or a tip! The Saints where paying for the limo so that cheap sack gave him nothing! We are both from NO and have grown to dislike the Manning's over time.

Just another reason why we dislike them!!!

Hell even the NFL have deals that at least go 3-4 years! Imagine if they had to renegotiate ever year!!!

Had a good friend years ago who worked at the IRS. He was one of the only white dudes there. He was given a work load much higher then his counter parts. He was trashed by the mostly minority workers who could not execute their jobs. So he told them he was quitting and was going to sue them which he did and the Justice Department agreed and took the case. He won the case and he never told me the amount he got. Sad thing was the fools at the IRS could give a crap they just lost a work horse. The US tax payers payed the price.

Also the IRS does not require you to pass the CPA test so it is overloaded with morons who can't get a job at one of the big CPA firms.

Well I made it 15 minutes in and shut it down! More woke nonsense!
