Hopefully this will help encourage City, Parish, and State officials to support the installation of disc golf courses in their parks.

Livingston Parish is KILLING it. Two new courses that are very well maintained.

BREC sucks, my God do they suck

That being said it was probably the correct call by the book so is what it is. At the point disc golf has gotten to I think they can start to break away from having violations called from the card at majors if nothing else. Goose shouldn’t even have to be put in that position.

He pointed it out but the Marshall assessed the penalty.

Imagine Rory sliding his ball position 7” to the left at The Masters and ppl being mad he got called for it….

see these players every time I go for a jog at Highland Park. They look to be having fun. I suspect he plays there.

He was basically raised on that course. His entire family plays and they are all top tier in the region

What an idiotic statement. Did you say the same thing during the Guadalupe River floods last year? You think nature cares if a disaster happens in China versus Texas?

I wonder if the Nepalese ppl said the same thing after viewing footage of the floods from Katrina

Wait, no they didn’t. They probably were horrified and prayed to their Buddhist gods for peace and healing in the gulf coast

Is the idea of big concerts at Tiger Stadium dead? This year people are realizing there are very few concerts that can fill a football stadium

The new PMAC is a good option. Only problem is most concert promoters prefer NOLA or Lafayette at the moment. We will need to make a very compelling offer to pull concerts.

I don’t think the River Center does a good enough job booking events. They seem to be on cruise control and not driving their own growth through new opportunities

The wife wants a Bronco Big Bend. Any thoughts?

Wranglers and Broncos are not typical “SUVs”. Make sure she understands the ride is rough and noisy and to not expect it to drive like her Highlander

VY is a good example
I don’t see Culpepper as a “failed QB”

I think David Carr could have been a great QB in the Josh McDaniels or Sean Payton systems.

The coolest thing I did in Rome was went down to the 1st century level streets. You are atleast 2 floors below the surface and crossing streets building to building. I have no concept over how it works architecturally

Edinburgh is the same. There are things about America that Europeans cannot fathom. Experiencing the age of cities in Europe is the reverse for us

It’s inevitable that someone that throws as hard as he does will blow out his elbow. He’s injured and is just gutting through on lower velo because if he took surgery now he’d miss rest of this year and likely all of next

There’s a lockout looming. Why not have surgery now expecting that the time missed next season is gonna be canceled anyways?

Cool Web series following Cal Fire Aviation

Pretty cool little series showcasing the aviation division of Cal Fire. Great flight footage and provides a broad understanding of how firefighters attack these large wildfires. Each episode is 15 minutes.

Those guys are badass!

ATT and REV installed competing fiber on opposite sides of the road in our neighborhood. The contractors installing it caused multiple water main breaks, and gas leaks. Miserable experience with zero accountability

agree with you but service related injuries don’t always involve combat. I get your point a freaking cook shouldn’t get 100% for ptsd and that happens all the time. No matter what the program is someone is out there working it and teaching others to work it. It’s not just the VA.

Isn’t the VA the largest entitlement program in the federal budget now?

Assisting veterans through the VA disability process is a billion dollar cottage industry. Every servicemember separating from active duty gets bombarded by predatory businesses whose sole purpose is to help you get a disability rating in exchange for a commission.

I agree. Almost seems intentional.

I've never had to do an update before. Do they tell you to download it on a USB to self install or do you have to go into the dealership?

Seems like a slick way to get you in front of a "Service Advisor" for other upsells
