Halifax

Has anyone been to the Bluffs recently? The course sounds intriguing.

Hey Folks - Great recommendations and advice. Much appreciated. I don’t plan to involve my pro to call Metairie CC, as he helped me out very recently. If anyone is still interested, I’ll look for post. No pressure we can play elsewhere. Thanks again.

Cheers.

Tell him to get ready for ground under repair everywhere. We just finished an extensive irrigation project that ran longer than expected with all the rain this winter. There are trench repairs on every hole.

I will definitely tell him. South has been getting killed with rain. Sound like you are making good investment in your course.

That's good news. Been on Commander's Palace looking for a few different times and apparently booked. Can't get through by phone. Thought everything would be booked up.

Hey Folks,

Trip is coming up and I am psyched. Daughter and I have been working on our golf games and getting ready. Here is the rough itinerary:

Arrive Tuesday, March 19 - Drive to Baton Rouge via River Road, do a tour at Houma House, eat at Roberto's.

Wednesday - Play LSU University Club, tour LSU, see Mike the Tiger, attend the LSU baseball game, supper at Chimes;

Thursday - Drive to Lafayette to watch friend play opening round of the Chitimacha Louisiana Open, dinner with him - crawfish boil at LT's or somewhere else Cajun.;

Friday - drive back to NOLA, golf (course TBD), supper at Commander's;

Saturday - Golf at Bayou Oaks, NOLA touring and eating;

Sunday - Golf (place TBD), NOLA eating and touring, Pelicans vs. Rockets;

Monday - fly back to Nova Scotia.

NOLA golf will depend on Metairie CC. Hoping that works out. If so, thinking other will be Audubon. If it doesn't work out will look at the other suggestions, which I greatly appreciate.

Yes they did renovate Shoal a couple of years ago. The changes are fantastic.

I haven't been down there since November. Will miss out this trip South, which is too bad. But will be there in April. :usa:

Hopefully things dry out by then. Fly down on March 19.

Bump:

Looking forward to getting to Louisiana. Thought I would check in.

:cheers:

Thanks again to all for the advice.

Rendevoustavern - Thanks very much for the kind offer to host and getting guidance from Dave, would be awesome if he is interested. Looking to play on either Friday, March 21, Saturday, March 22, or Sunday, March 23.

Also - the trip to NOLA, BR etc is a March break adventure with my daughter. She is 13 and is a treat. She plays golf (including Shoal) and is actually getting fitted for a new set of clubs tomorrow. I totally understand, if this changes your mind.

A little about me:

LSU fan. Have travelled to multiple football games.

Avid reader of Tiger Droppings. Have started threads and posted in the past, but nothing lately.

Love golf. Member up here and a member of Shoal Creek in Birmingham, AL.

Thanks for the offers to help. :cheers:
