Try a putter with more offset, putt on a chalk line, putt on a ruler, take a lesson.

Different green conditions and grass type can have a big effect on that.

re: Advice for 6 year old son

Get him US Kids Golf Clubs and keep them current to his height for as long as he plays. A great official intro to golf is Jr. Golf Camps, we do 4 at The Island in Plaquemine and most golf courses do. Make it fun and not regimented. If he want to put, go putt, if he wants to drive, go drive, if he wants to take a day off, do that!! Let him have fun and he'll be hooked for life!! Good Luck!!!

It’s not because of less than 50k rounds. An article from 2010 in Golf Atlas had Pebble Peach at more than 50k rounds.


No golf carts is the key and a $2,500,000 maintenance budget sure helps too!!

I agree Bones, hard to keep grass growing with numbers like that.

Incorrect, Cody told me they did 50,000+ last year. That is a ton for 18 holes.

We would love to see you at The Island in Plaquemine, 15 minutes from the bridge. Our rounds take usually 3:30-3:45 on most days, 4:00 or close on Fridays, Saturdays and faster on Sundays. Come see us, www dot the island golf dot com
