Can you trap & relocate it?


That is probably what I’ll end up doing…he comes out very late in the evening

Anyone try these for Armadillos?…

Tried a granule last week to no avail. Dude just keeps coming back and jacking up my backyard looking for food.

I thought Bookie was pretty funny.
First shower at my house in south Shreveport today since July 15th…3 weeks to the day. Even with my sprinkler system, the grass was getting a little crunchy in spots. This 20 minute shower is just what the doctor ordered…need another one in about a week.

Not sure how the rest of the course looks but #8 on Cypress was especially brown.


Had a few greens that looked completely baked… I can’t remember the hole numbers, but was definitely more than just a couple.

Used to be such a fantastic course when it first opened and through the mid 2000’s so.

Absolutely…probably by my next round.

Definitely feels good right now to have some confidence going into the next shot.
Went to the range a couple of Fridays ago and wasn’t in a hurry at all. Had it in my head that I was just going relax and not worry about swinging hard.

Tried a little pre shot routine of being relaxed and taking a practice swing focusing on straightening out my trail leg during the backswing. Doing this really allows me to make a full shoulder turn with zero stress on my trail knee…the weight shift to the forward leg came on its own and then just fired the hips towards the target. My hands naturally just fall into the slot and releasing the club just happens and nothing seems forced or unnatural.

Out of the 100 balls or so, I may have only had about 6-7 bad balls. Did the same thing this past Saturday morning and had the same results. Finding the sweet spot time after time and really compressing the ball with what seems like 80% effort.

Played a round yesterday and struck the ball as well as I ever have consistently off the tee and on my approach shots. Now I need to focus much more time on 100 yards in, plus chipping and putting.

Driver for A.S.A.P. or something like that. You’re responsible for you and only you. Spend your whole day driving around to different businesses picking stuff up and dropping stuff off.

I see the same drivers in our hospitals all the time…seems pretty low stress.

Played Olde Oaks yesterday morning(teed off at 7:40). Had a single go off before us and we played at a quick pace.

The weather was awesome…could not have picked a better day to play. “Cool” front came through Saturday afternoon and it got down to 69° and the humidity was nil…literally didn’t sweat at all the entire round.

Whole fleet of new carts(at least they looked new)

Tee boxes, fairways and greens were mowed appropriately(greens slow as usual). Would’ve thought the greens would’ve been in better shape considering the amount of rain we got all spring and through the middle of July.

As iwyLSUiwy stated…the rough was brutal. Thankfully I drove the ball extremely well, but my playing partner wasn’t quite on with his driver and we had difficulty finding a quite a few of his drives.

Think we’ll give Northwood a shot with our next round.

Appreciate the update… I guess I’ll just have to try and keep it in the fairways as much as possible.

Bumping this thread… anyone played here in the last couple of weeks?

Got a buddy wanting to play this weekend and believe I’d rather go there on a Sunday morning because it is usually slow.

Really don’t want to go to one of the more crowded courses… Querbes, Huntington or Northwood.

My “home” course here lately has been Meadowlake in Keithville…So course conditions really aren’t a high priority for me… Lol

I was just wanting an update if anyone has been out there lately.

Crank up a little Run-D.M.C.

Link per Fox News.

“ ESPN is planning to lay off NFL analyst Ryan Clark, multiple sources told OutKick.

Clark is expected to be part of a round of layoffs the network could announce as soon as Tuesday.”

Chianti…have eaten there our last couple of anniversaries.

Too early for Scott’s Summer Guard?…

Posted by marcnbc on 7/12/26 at 12:10 am
I know Scott’s is frowned upon quite a bit here, but for my small yard in a cul-de-sac, their products do fairly well for my needs. My two next door neighbors don’t do shite for their yards other than mow them.

Ok to put this out now or wait a couple more weeks?
