Ah yes, the LaToya defense.

It’s been about a month since I played it but it was in good condition then.
I look at this way, you get to see a lot of the young up and comers at the Zurich along with a few top names. Not ideal but still some great golf played and always a fun time.

At one of the first Bayou Country Superfest we had seats pretty close to the stage. My son who was in high school kept saying "Look at those legs!" every time she passed in front of us.

So glad he got the win. Had to be dreadful playing with Dumont de Chassart.

Tpc actually took care of their greens.


They have the staff to do it right and need to keep them ready for the Zurich. Played there after a cold spell and they left the tarps rolled up near the greens. Most greens in the NOLA area are in pretty good shape coming out of the winter.

The course should be closed every Monday.


Most nice places do close on Monday. This gives the course time for much needed maintenance after the weekend madness and gives the crew all full day without interruptions.

Can they still use the dome for baseball with regular dimensions? That turf looked like it was not meant for the dome. Figured they just made it fit so they could keep the crowd at full capacity. You really have to love that shite to sit in RF corner.


Since the renovations the Dome can’t be configured for a real baseball game. The original design allowed for the stands to be moved to have 315 down the lines, 358-365 in the allies and 421 to dead center.

The little hill behind 13 tee is a great spot, you can see 6 green and 7 tee as well as 13. .

The Best of the Zurich is the better deal. Walkons is behind 17 green which is a good view but the food isn’t comparable to the Best of.

I’ll be working 17 green all week, thank god I know where the AC leaks out of the Walkons Pavilion for a quick cooldown.

Wonder what is happening in this stretch. Too much pressure in and old line?


Fix one leak, puts stress on another bad section. Until they change out all the ancient piping it will continue to happen.

Why not check the Golf Channel or the PGA Tour app?

TPC overseeds their greens this time of year the tournament coming up.


Playing there Friday, hope they mow them a little lower before then. Also, the trucks started arriving with the scaffold materials for the tournament build up.

They needed the third one on a walkoff to win by three? That's sad.


Reading is fundamental, the walkoff ended it by run rule 15-2.

BTW, he just missed another slam in the first tonight, RF caught it at the wall for a sac fly. Next two batters went yard.

Holy crap. That means other people have already had three grand slams in a game. What an incredible thing.


It was done last 50 years ago.
