re: Baton Rouge Golf

I'm not sure what Webb's budget/finances look like. I just know what I'm paying at the counter and it's not far off from what you should expect for $23 with a cart.
Webb's biggest problem is that they have old, small greens that also get a lot of traffic. Compound that with the apathetic golfers out there who don't fix ball marks and are generally abusive to the course and you get what you have now. They need to just bite-the-bullet and completely renovate all the greens from the ground up with larger putting surfaces to handle the traffic.
Either way, this feels more like a Webb sucks thread than a Baton Rouge Golf sucks thread.

Webb and City greens both need to be blown up and redone much larger. Webb also lacks alot of general maintenance (laziness) piles of sticks at base of trees, not trimming the left side of # 6&7, not roping off areas close to greens or tee boxes, changing hole locations, changing tee markers, applying herbicides/fertilizers at correct times, aerating, top dressing greens, etc. But I’ll be damned if there ain’t always 1-2 people behind the counter with terrible customer service, 2-3 guys hanging out at starters shack doing God knows what, 2-3 people hanging around the cart barn. Same can be said about SM now that I think about it.

Webb is the perfect microcosm of whats wrong with BR golf, its a great example.
Its in the Garden District on a great piece of property and it is currently shite. Its potential is off the charts.
But I dont know, it gets a ton of rounds so maybe BREC is just like "screw it" they are gonna play no matter what.
What BR did with Clark tho is outstanding.
