Tenfold

Played Friday at the Players stadium and it was an amazing experience. We had a caddy which was an experience in itself. The course was beautiful and everything you can ask for a great father/son experience. We were behind a group of 4 that played slow. It was nice because we could take in the whole experience. We played with a local 10 year old and another kid whose was 11. These kids play it 4 times a week. The 11 year old was a +1 after nine. These kids have been playing since they could “pick up a club” both parent are part of the PGA.
Dyes Valley was my favorite of the two courses. I just like the way it plays. Several par 3 holes are 200+ yards.
One of which if playing from the black tees was 257, a very long par 3. Several of the par 4s were long.
Also got to meet Aaron Rai. He was gracious with his time and an extremely humble man. He had his wife and we spent 10 mins chatting.
The best part was watching my 18 year old soak in the experience. I feel pretty fortunate to have had the opportunity to play with my son on such great courses.
It was hot as some on here stated but Louisiana is another level of heat so it was not bad. The breeze helped to keep the day comfortable.
The merchandise store was fun as we both geeked out over hats.
Again, I appreciate all the feedback and suggestions on this thread.
Many thanks

I have been playing since March. Every week, several times throughout, I go to multiple ranges to work on one area of my game. I work on my irons normally two hours a week. My wedges for an hour or so and also hitting a driving range to continuously improve my driving and wood/hybrid.
I am getting some improvements in each but my putting has been a challenge.
Distance, how to not over putt by 7 foot or equally under putt significantly.
Slopes confusion is continuous. I would be happy just learning how to lay it up. Get it close enough for a chance.
I do a decent job of getting on the green in 2 on a par 4 and 3 on a 5. But I can 3 putt the life out of some holes.
Any practice tips or video would be well received.

Appreciate all the feedback.
We play Aug 1 and 2nd.
I work inside all day so the heat is a nice change. As long as it doesn’t get rained out because our window for this trip is short and narrow. He moves back to college the following weekend.

We have breakfast in the clubhouse both mornings and he is saving his money for merchandise. I feel like a kid thinking about this trip and hope to come back with a good reports.

Second this.
I have had multiple Axis and I do love some Nilgai. The best by far is the American Bison. If you have never eaten it, it is the perfect meat. Nothing like store bought bison. The bonus is you kill a small one and still get plenty of meat. My son downed an 800 pound bison 4 years ago and we stacked the freezer. The wife and daughter loved it and it cooked well in any dish.

I will eat crow.. but I was hoping to do the same. So much for paid sites..
Lol
I will say this Scott Strickland needs to go.

Florida has only had one serious candidate and that’s Lane Kiffin. It has always been Kiffin.
Today the tide turns.

So very sorry. Sitting with my dog now knowing their time is never long enough. Post a picture so we can see what your loyal buddy was like.
God bless you during this time.

No, I have no money it all belongs to her.

The more you make the more it costs.
Increase tax brackets.
Increase lifestyle. Not talking $75,000 truck but if you live in Louisiana, then your kids go to private school. You pay for their college because earners pay tuition, poorer kids go for free through Pell grants and state aid.
Success actually increase your need to be more successful because in the end you pay more.
I have about $40,000 in property taxes coming due next month.
It’s the price you pay for success

He violates everybody’s rights including his own but no one can violate his??

Many strong folks in this thread. Congratulations to everyone for the hard work and no quit attitude.
I was able to hit 254..
That’s my PR.
A year ago I started this journey at 75 pounds. This was coming off a knee surgery and 6 months of swelling.
Hope to a part of this thread in 2026
