Sherwood is probably the best option if someone is looking to build a new course in BR.
re: Worst course ever played?

Cam2 in Amite.
There was a 9 hole course in Hammond that was basically a driving range with 9 greens. That was bad.

re: Greystone or Pelican Point membership?
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 4/21/26 at 7:46 pm to TDsngumbo
I don't know how I'm the first to raise this, but where do you live?? You are talking two courses that aren't in the same town. I would lean towards the one that's closer to work or your house so it makes playing easier.
I agree with Ell. I'm not walking GS, but compared to most courses, it's a fairly normal and easy walk. It ain't Webb, City or BRCC, but once you get started, it's not a bad walk. The walk from the clubhouse to 1 would suck, but that's really about it.
I would find a member at Pelican and GS and see how the two courses are with members. I played Pelican a few years ago on a Friday and it was a place I could see hanging out and getting beers after the round. They had a guy playing guitar and everyone was hanging out on the back deck. I don't know if I caught a random day or if this is the norm or still the norm. Idk much about the GS hang/vibe, even though that's where I play most of the time. But before I join somewhere, I'd figure out the food situation. Who has a good chef/menu. When are the money games. What do they play for. How easy is it to get a tee time. Is there a group if golfers I fit in with. Is there a group of golfers my skill level that I can compete against. What's the typical pace of play? Can I get around on a random afternoon in a couple hours?
I don't think you'll have assessments or initiation at either, so the financial questions aren't really relevant.

It was at the end of the LA POLITICS Report podcast. I wasn't sure who he was talking about. Thought Cassidy or Graves, but wasn't sure.

He said the primary was moved to a closed primary to target one individual. Who was he referring to?
re: Santa Maria and all of BREC
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 4/2/26 at 2:14 pm to BonesMalone
If it was in primo shape, it would be worth more than $100. For the record, I’m counting primo shape as BRCC or CCL.
A course in that condition could command far more than $100 per round, and that does not factor in that it would have no competition, because it would be far nicer than any of the other available options. You would also have to imagine it would significantly thin out the crowds, which would make a piece of play much better. People are already paying close to that and driving to Springfield or Plaquemine. I believe that’s about what the bluffs used to be, and that was more than a 45 minute drive from the center of town.
If you were looking at it from strictly a financial point of view, dumping money into Santa Maria and raising prices would probably be the best thing for that golf course, but Brec is not looking at it from that perspective. They are using tax dollars to provide a service to the community. They are not trying to have a high-end public golf course, they are trying to serve the masses and provide affordable golf.

re: Assault on Historic City Park Golf Course

Can we get a consolidated thread? All the city park and brec complaining in one single thread. Even add the LSU closing. It's like 4-5 threads on essentially the same topic.
I'm cool with the topic and I'm enjoying the discourse. Just one thread would make it easier to follow.

Took my 11 year old. It was intense for her in spots, but overall, she really liked it.

I've often wondered how that would play. Could you find turf that reacted like a green with a 7i in your hand

You have to imagine they writing have to regrass everything. Are they cutting the grass still?

How was that laid out?
Exterior Lighting - Down or Up
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 2/6/26 at 5:02 am
I want to add exterior lights to my house. I like both the ones that shine down and the ones that shine up. Which ones are considered nicer?

re: Any recent updates on the City Park master plan situation?
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 1/26/26 at 12:30 pm to 904
I go back and forth. I think it is perfect the way it is, because it serves as a cheap course that's easy for beginner golfers. But I would also love to re-work the greens and make them like Metairie's greens. Go in with some template greens that could really make a somewhat short course play a lot more fun for the more experienced golfer.

I need new spotify playlists
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 11/2/25 at 6:23 am
I listen to music at work so I've been cycling through the same playlists for too long. What is everyone listening to?
Genre doesn't matter to me, I'm down for anything new. Just need to find something new and interesting.
