This wasn't a planned blog Post. Tips For Golfing During The Summer Heat should be talked about before every summer. However, this one comes after a recent near heat exhaustion incident. I was trying to get a golf course review done a few days ago, and unfortunately I didn't get past the driving range. The midday heat got to me very fast. I should know better on so many different levels here, but nonetheless I couldn't even start the round without feeling like I was going to

It has been a while since I last did a golf course review of Bayou Oaks at City Park - South Course. The last review may have been the last time I had actually played the golf course. I don't get out to play at Bayou Oaks South course often enough. It's usually because of the rate is more than I can afford on a weekly basis. In the past, I have been critical of that rate being a little overpriced, but after this visit, I am seeing signs that justify the elite course rate. I s

When you hear most golfers talk about taking a golf trip, it's usually somewhere historic or well known for having many golf courses. It is not usually somewhere you can technically drive to, play a round of golf, and drive home in a single day. That is exactly what golf in Gulf Shores is for us from New Orleans. Only about three and a half hours' drive from downtown New Orleans are several good overnight, multi-round golf options. Kiva Dunes Resort is one of those options,

I spent a few months thinking about what new wedges I wanted to get. I absolutely love the TaylorMade MG 3 wedges I had, but the grooves were wearing down, and it was time for some new wedges. So I bought the Sub 70 Golf - TA III Wedges . I used to get new wedges every 6 months when I was playing professionally, but now, mostly playing recreationally, I change them once every 18 months to two years. It really depends on how many rounds or how often I use my wedges. Since the

This golf course review was a long time overdue. Beaver Creek Golf Course is one of my favorite layouts in all of Louisiana. Especially holes 13 - 17. The course is usually always in great condition, and I don't get to play here as much as I'd like. It had been almost a year since the last time I played Beaver Creek, so I called up Preston, he was available, and we played last Thursday, Jan 8th. The weather was near perfect, and we were able to wear short sleeves most of the

This Golf Course Review of Shell Landing Golf Club partly feels long overdue. Shell Landing is a golf course I absolutely love, but unfortunately have not visited in nearly 10 years. In the video, I say 3 plus years, but I was thinking I played a golf tournament there in early 2022. I was corrected by a friend who reminded me that event was cancelled and we never went. I should have been here much sooner than this. Shell Landing is one of the best golf courses along the enti

It has been long overdue since I was able to do a golf course review at Belle Terre Country Club. I have attempted to get out there several times over the past month, but things kept getting in the way, or tee times were not available when I was. You may recall Belle Terre did a greens renovation last year and reopened around Sept 2024. I have only been to the golf course once, maybe twice, since then. During that visit, things were not that positive. They were not negative,

Although this is one of my favorite golf courses in Louisiana, I haven't done a Golf Course Review of LaTour Golf Club since May. I probably haven't played the course since the last review either. It turned out to be a perfect day as the weather was great evn though it was a little chilly to start. Turned out to be a great day to video (at bottom) as well. LaTour Golf Club is a great layout with superb practice facilities. The golf course is a good David Toms design that can

It has been almost a full year since the last Golf Course Review of Stonebridge Golf Club. Honestly, one of the reasons is that it is not one of my favorite golf courses. It has nothing to do with the layout either. I actually enjoy the mix of holes, and the routing isn't too bad either. I usually avoid Stonebridge due to the inconsistent conditions. Every time you visit Stonebridge , you never know if it will be in really good or bad condition. I have played the course in th

This review is from a golf course that many of you have never heard of before. I didn't know about it until earlier this year myself....
