In high school golf in Southwest La, we used neutral show polish. I carried a can in my golf bag. Rubbed my hands before every round. Not sure if it still works, but it did in the heat and humidity of Lake Charles. Also, we wore "half finger" gloves. We never wore full finger gloves.

Google "men's half finger golf gloves" and you will find them.

I have 2 tickets for LSU vs Kentucky (in Kentucky) in the LSU Section on Saturday, October 10 in Section 12, Row 38, Great seats. Tickets are in my account, but can't be transferred just yet. Seats are side-by-side. Asking $225 per ticket or best offer. Will not sell an odd number of tickets. I can send tickets electronically through LSU Sports App, when the tickets are transferrable by LSU. I accept PayPal or Venmo.

If interested, send an email to wacotiger@hot.rr.com
Sorry, that is less than my cost from LSU, but I appreciate the offer. I already sold 2 for $225 per ticket, so I don't think I will have a problem selling these 2 for that price.
Bumping this Thread in case anyone is going to Napa for harvest. If so, please share your stories and make all of us jealous. Cheers!

If the tickets show up in the order history, the fans still have tickets. LSU won't change the seats, take away seats or the amount of the tickets. This happens every year on away games.

The home team (not LSU) controls the distribution of tickets, so LSU is at the mercy of the home team. Some teams use the same ticket system that LSU uses (like Ole Miss) so the distribution of tickets is easy. Other schools use a different system, so the tickets have to be issued by the home team. Sometimes, you will receive an email (a week or two before the actual game) and it will have a link to download the tickets in Ticketmaster (for example). You just need to be patient. No fan is getting screwed over.
If you go to your LSU Tickets Account online (not through the App, but a laptop or similar computer) and click on Order History. then click on Tennessee, it should stil show the cost, row and seat number and the number of tickets that you purchased and were assigned. If it doesn't, you need to call the ticket office.
My Kentucky tickets and Tenn tickets are no longer showing up in my account.
The road tickets are in our account, but can't be transferred until a week or two before the game. The home team has to release the tickets.

re: American Airlines Credit Card

If you want to use the award miles, they have impossible flights and you have to fly multiple segments. I had it for 20 years (from 1990 to 2010) and finally gave up. We use to fly out of Waco and Dallas/Ft Worth, but it wasn't worth the effort.

Now, I fly on Southwest Airlines out of Dallas Love Field and the flight times are easier, the credit card miles are fair and the flight segments are easy. Just my two cents and I am sure others may disagree.

Also, I was on pace to be lifetime American Platinum and when I got 1,700,000 miles, they can cancelled the program and said you could only qualify for 2,000,000 miles with air travel and not spending on credit cards. I am lifetime American Gold, which is worthless.

I spent almost 20 years on American Airlines Credit card and got burned. I only fly AA overseas, but Southwest is going to fly to Europe within the next 5 years, so I am prepared.

I am Southwest A List Preferrred and my wife has not paid for a flight (unilimited companion faire) in over 5 years since I left AA. It is worth it for short hauls. Just my two cents worth.
3 years ago, we stayed in La Foce, about 20 minute outside of Montepulciano. It was a beautiful property, but we were not in a "town."

La Foce

One day, we drove an hour to Banfi Winery, inside the Castle of Poggio alle Mura just outside of Montalcino. This winery was first class. The food was Michelin star rated. Although we didnt' stay in their hotel, it is well known to be first class accomodations.

Banfi Hotel

We also drove one day to Il Borro winery in Il Borro. Il Borro is an organic wine estate and restored medieval village spanning 1,100 hectares in the Valdarno di Sopra region of Tuscany, Italy. Owned by the Ferragamo family since 1993, the historic property features an 18th-century aging cellar, modern gravity-fed winemaking facilities, and sustainable organic production of 12 fine wine labels. We didn't stay at the hotel, but it looked five star.

II Borro

We visited all of these places from La Foce as day trips. Most of the drives were only about an hour to an hour and half. We loved having our own car.

After La Foce, we stayed 3 nights in Volterra and visited several cities in that area. We also loved the Ornellaia winery which was on the west coast of Tuscany. Very high end Super Tuscan wines and I believe high-end accomodations. On the far western side of Tuscany.

We stayed in Volterra for 3 nights. Like most hill towns in Tuscany, it is a medival city meaning that large walls surround the city up on a large hill. We made day trips to San Gimignano and Siena. Siena was a great town to visit.

If you want more information, here is a link to our blog on Tumblr: Two Texans in Tuscany You might have to create an account on Tumblr to read our blog.

After a week in Tuscany, we stayed 6 days in Florence at a very high-end apartment that we have access to. It was a great trip. Happy to share any other information, but our blog has all of the details.

Ciao!
