re: Alabama media member proposal to put LSU back in “good standing”
Posted by Random LSU Hero on 9/8/26 at 7:06 pm to AlaTiger
Landry to the SEC…”Here are LSU’s terms. Lower your flags and march straight back to Birmingham, stopping at every home you pass by to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.”

re: Sankey cant do shiate and this is why
Posted by Random LSU Hero on 9/8/26 at 6:26 pm to sharkfhin
Sankey and the SEC have their feeling hurt and they want to administer pain (or at least the fear of pain) to LSU. The litigation that would rain down on the SEC in the event the members voted them out would be like Apache hellfire on ISIS insurgents. As a public university, LSU would surely start with Due process under the 14th amendment. Not to mention whether the league solicited the votes under duress or coercion.

I put a black sharpie line on my ball. It didn’t smudge as easy as with other balls. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or not.
Snell PR4 Feedback
Posted by Random LSU Hero on 8/24/26 at 5:25 pm
I saw the MGS review and numbers that it was the longest ball. I decided to get a dz and put it through its paces.
About me…
•Titleist GT3 8.25* w Tour AD VF 6S. •Depending on the time of year and course, I usually play the ProV1X, ProV1X LD, and Maxfli Tour X. (Also did some 2026 Chrome Tour X testing).
•108 to 111 Club head. Up 2.5 to 4.5 AOA. Ball speed 159 to 164.
PR4 Positives
-It’s a long golf ball. No 2 ways about it.
-It launches high
-Very durable. I have raw vokeys and didn’t see much scuffing
PR4 Negatives
-It feels horrible. Almost like a rubber “super ball” core.
-Similar to MGS findings, the dispersion (with irons) seemed wider.
Not sure it’s go in the bag, I still have more testing to do. I’m just so sold on Titleist quality control, that changing balls would be tough. As far as a budget option vs Maxfli, it’s more than serviceable.
Hope this helps. I can provide Callaway Chrome Tour X feedback as well if anyone is wondering.

It's money - pure and simple.
We are in the middle of a golf boom. Fiscally they’re having as good of a year has they’ve ever had. Now if you mean how they spend it, then we can have a conversation. BREC is actually smart, they have figured out the price elasticity of demand for their product. They have raised rates to as high as it can go without sacrificing demand and limiting overhead. My point is the City Am use to mean something. BREC would give a practice round. The maintenance and resources were centered around the Tournament. They’d have a full field of 64. And they’d have a 1 day medal play tournament to be apart of the last few qualifiers to get in… and that was always filled. The city am is only 16 ppl and they’re still having a hard time filling the last spot.

They recently punched and pulled cores, and they did a deep verticut this morning. The greens are easily the worst I’ve seen them in years. How is the maintenance schedule not centered around the flagship event for BREC? The funniest part is the greens are as bad as I’ve ever seen them, and Green Fees have never been higher LOL. Baton Rouge / Louisiana golf sucks. Plain and simple

Does anyone on the board have any experience with removing the stock shaft from a LAB and installing an aftermarket one?

Never played it but I’ve heard it’s the closest you can get to playing Augusta without playing Augusta.
re: What is your wedge makeup ?
Posted by Random LSU Hero on 2/22/26 at 5:53 pm to bopper50
Raw 44* Vokey WedgeWorks with Modus 120R hard stepped twice
Raw 50* (Bent to 49*) Vokey SM10 with R300 hard stepped once
Raw 54* Vokey SM10 with R300 hard stepped once
Raw 60* (bent to 59*) Vokey WedgeWorks K* with R300 hard stepped once.
Using a Vokey for a pitching wedge was expensive but I HIGHLY recommend it. And the K Star 60 is the best grind I’ve ever used. My irons have modus 105S. The regs feel awesome in the wedges, especially chipping.

What’s ironic is some of those trees that were planted 25 years ago are finally giving the course some character. But the conditions are abysmal

Had a buddy work at a golf shop. The 2 weirdest things he’s witnessed was a guy came in to get his ball retriever regripped. And another beginner inquired about left handed balls.

re: Louisiana amateur championship qualifying
Posted by Random LSU Hero on 2/10/26 at 7:37 pm to Brightside Bengal
It all depends on how many entrants there will be. Since it’s in Nola and the qualifier is also in Nola that usually means that site will have more participants than say the Lake Charles qualifier or North LA qualifier. My prediction would be in the 78 to 81 range depending on the conditions for the day.

Any savvy Scotty Cameron enthusiasts out there for price advice?
Posted by Random LSU Hero on 1/13/26 at 5:36 pm
I have Brand New Concept X 7.2 LTD 35” that’s never been seen a ball or been out of the plastic, but I have no clue what it’s worth. Any ideas? Should I just go by what the market is showing on eBay? Thanks for any advice
