I'm a Lakes member. It allows me to have a place to play at a price point that does not make me feel bad about playing elsewhere. Yes, the Lakes is a 9 hole course. It's also very walkable. The Links course is not. You can walk it. But there are long stretches between holes that are just not enjoyable. I play the Links course a few times a year for the cart fee ($28) after 3pm. That's enough for me.
I would not want Greystone as my home course. It's fun to play every now and then, but not something I want to do all the time.

re: Anyone started eating sardines? Super food?

I've been a fan of sardines since I was a kid eating them with my dad. I still eat them from time to time, but might check out a sardine fast.

It made my pee green and stained the toilet. That's the only thing I noticed about it.

rough look for you
The guy who has spent years on an LSU message board being an a-hole to everyone else about a fricking competing golf tour is calling out other people about a rough look? Get the frick out of here and grow the frick up.

One technique I use now to help prevent injury is to use the seat heaters to/from lower body workouts, it seems to do a good job of loosening it up.
Already using them for my lower back. :lol:

How is Legend Pot?
Don't waste your money. I did not like it at all. Clumsy all around trying to manage a million plates and bowls all around a table that's half meant for cooking rather than eating with subpar unseasoned meat that you have to cook yourself. All for $34 a person, which after tax is now $38 a person before a single drink or gratuity is considered. I can take my family of 5 somewhere far more enjoyable and far less expensive.
Hamstring Injury
Posted by BMoney on 4/14/26 at 11:21 am
Anyone here have experience with a grade 2 hamstring injury? Felt it pop when going up for a hit while playing beach volleyball. Injury was April 6th, so I'm a week out now. Last week was miserable. By Friday, I was finally able to somewhat walk. Slowly getting to the point where I can do most normal every day tasks (couldn't dream of putting shoes on last week). Bruising has really showed up over the last 48 hours. It's pretty gnarly looking.
Trying to determine my next steps to get back to being active and reduce my chances for reinjury. 49 years old, 5'11" and 170 pounds. I'm an active person, but not really a gym person. I like to be active outside, whether it's running or biking or volleyball or pickleball or golf. Mostly a runner, since I enjoy it and is what I like to do, and that's what I really want to get back to, along with beach volleyball, since my SO and I really enjoy doing that together.
Anyone with any experiences in recovery? Would love to hear about it. I'm all ears.

To play it smart:
3W instead of driver off tee
Gap wedge layup
6 iron to green or 8 iron layup
Putt or chip
I don't think this is a great approach. A 6 iron shot into a green on a par 5 is not going to end well for most amateurs. I play the hole better when I get the drive down as far as possible in order to have a shortest club possible in my hand that will clear the bayou/ditch. Once you clear the bayou, you're left with a wedge shot to the green, which to me, will lead to more pars and set yourself up for birdie putts.
re: Baton Rouge residential garage door repair and installation?
Posted by BMoney on 4/8/26 at 8:49 am to Roy Curado
I've used Pat's twice for garage door spring replacement. They took good care of me both times.
Great layout, challenging design. Haven't played it recently to know how the greens are right now, but it's a great course. Just wish it was easier to access or I didn't have to deal with the bridge.
That's absurd. I pay $13/bale at my hardware store, which after tax would come out to about $430 for 30 bales. It would take me some time to spread by myself, but not $1,200 of my time.

Pretty suspect as those Sims at Pelican are pretty underutilized it seems.. I legit never see anyone using them..
I was gonna say the same thing. I've never seen one in use. But then, why would I play on a sim if I could play the course? The sim seems great for rainy days or winter.

Why didnt they work? Genuinely curious
Very difficult to accept shots. They do it in Alaska because of the moose and bears tearing up real greens. Even with very little play, they said they have to replace the turf pretty frequently.
re: If you had to get up right now and run to the Mississippi River how long would it take?
Posted by BMoney on 3/24/26 at 9:16 am to OysterPoBoy
I've run from my house to go run on the levee before, and it's just a touch over 3 miles. I'm a sub-8 minute pace runner, so let's call it 25 minutes from door to water.

I've often wondered how that would play. Could you find turf that reacted like a green with a 7i in your hand
I played a course in Alaska with turf greens. It was interesting. Turf greens won't work. But hey, I can say that I played golf in Alaska.
[/img]Yes, a 13.5° Ai Smoke with a Ventus Velocore+ Blue 6X shaft tipped an inch. It's not going left, and that's the whole point. I'm also a very low spin player, so this helps me tremendously.
I only hit it from the tee and don't carry a 3 wood. My only fairway wood is a 20° Ai Smoke Triple Diamond 7 wood.

let me know where those people are. ill hire 3 now and my other super buddies will hire 3 each right now too. you are clueless man. no one wants to work. i know for a fact SM has one of the smaller crews of golf courses around BR.
so, to have everything done by 9am minimum:
2 guys on greens
2 guys on tees
2 guys on fairways
2 guys in bunkers
1 guy coolers and trash
1 guy changing holes
you just need to stop. you're the reason supers hate certain know it all golfers
This should be good. Add 9 more holes to the mix and let him know how many people he needs to get it all done, then you can compare notes.

I was the same for a very long time. I'd go through periods of "cut back", then the daily drinking would creep back in. I finally decided to give it up completely because like you said, I starting seeing it for what it is. I asked myself "is this really doing anything positive for me?" The answer was always no. I'm 444 days since my last drink. The first couple of weeks were pretty difficult, but then it got easier. Now I don't even think about it. The difference in my quality of life is significant. It was like a rebirth.
If anyone is seriously considering giving up alcohol, I wholeheartedly endorse it.
On top of everything else you said, the only thing I would add is prioritize sleep. Getting a good night sleep is the second best life changing decision I've made since giving up alcohol. And giving up alcohol significantly improved my sleep quality.
I wish I could upvote this more than once.
The answer to "is this really doing anything positive for me?" was always no, but I didn't want to listen. I negotiated and bargained with myself constantly. I can cut back. I don't have to drink. Just on the weekends. I was scared to quit. What was I going to do? What would friends think? Would it be weird?
The answer is no. Nobody cares that you don't drink. If anything, I've gotten a lot of compliments about how strong I must be to be able to stop. Sure, it takes willpower. But after a couple months, it gets so much easier.
