While I’m excited to go see a major tourney in the heart of Nola. I played that course last week and thankfully I only had to pay $55. It was not in good shape at all.

I live 5 mins from Santa Maria. It’s faster for me to drive to the island and play verse going play at Santa Maria.

I wish oak harbor wasn’t in Slidell. That course has a great layout and if they had a 8 months and 10 million to get the course into some kind of shape it could be a decent place to host. Biggest problem besides the terrible shape of the course is its in Slidell.

Santa Maria is in the city of St. George. However, BREC is parish wide and everyone in the parish pays the property tax, therefore St. George can’t change anything or take ownership of the course.

I live about 10 minutes from Santa Maria and can drive to Beaver Creek or the island to play and get home in the same time as going to Santa Maria because the pace of play is terrible.

re: Masters - Practice vs Sunday

The range and practice area is amazing to see. One again another example of Augusta thinking through everything.

I have never been for a practice round but I have been a few times on Sunday. I know everyone has different opinions but I completely disagree with you. Yes, you don’t get to see every shot but hearing the roars around the course as you are following the final few groups and then the anticipation as they change the boards all around the course at the exact same time is electric.

Watching the final few groups all day then sitting in your chair that you placed on 18 almost 10 hours before which no one touched is amazing. I got to follow Tiger for all 18 on a Saturday which was awesome but can’t touch being there on a Sunday. I have been to a lot of major sporting events but there is nothing like a masters Sunday in person

Yeah, when you leave the shop they have a checked bag area. They also can ship the stuff you just bought as well at the same place you check your bag.

Anything you can think to make a tournament efficient and smooth, Augusta National does it. This includes having attendants in every bathroom to keep it clean and the line moving.

re: Question for the driver aficionados

Posted by kfont28 on 3/17/24 at 10:04 am
I agree with you completely. I know it won’t make me much better if at all.

I’m just wondering how much difference do the year to year changes make. Hypothetically, if I get quick and slice my current driver I will be 10 yards off the fairway but with a new driver will I be 8 yards off the fairway?

I’m not interested in buying anything new at all. I’m just trying to understand the difference year over year.

I’m asking this because I’m interested more than anything

Question for the driver aficionados

Posted by kfont28 on 3/17/24 at 8:16 am
With most major brands coming out every year with a new set of drivers, how much year over year improvement is there?

For example, my current driver is the Cobra Radspeed which came out about 3 or 4 years ago. If I switched to a 2024 released driver, how much actual improvement would I see?

I wouldn’t think a lot at all. Now if I was a scratch golfer and every little thing could mean shooting 72 instead of 74 I could see how that would be valuable, but with me being about a 15, I would need a significantly better driver to improve my scores.

re: Ball Rollback For All - USGA/R&A

Posted by kfont28 on 12/3/23 at 4:17 am
Yes, there a few rogue companies that have none confirming balls with the current rules. But look at others on this thread who hate this roll back. The market for non roll backed balls will be huge. Companies like turning profits and have spent millions on developing the best ball they can. so I can definitely see some brands not conforming and amateur players not following the roll back.

Count me as one of those that is not going to listen to some old guys who want to protect the “integrity” of their old ultra exclusive course that I will never be allowed to play.

I enjoy watching professional golf the way it is but if the heads of the usga and r&a are adamant about this then they need to keep it just for the pros.

In baseball only pros use wooden bats while amateurs are very happy with their metal bats

I get doing this for tour players but for the average amateur this is stupid.

What’s stopping companies like Vice or Snell from saying nope we ain’t changing anything. I play once a month and want to enjoy myself as much as possible. I would buy non rollbacked balls
I hear Robinson had an amazing binder put together for his interview
