My daughter is 16 and she has come to her mom and I wanting to learn to play golf. She is my most athletic child, but hasn’t found a sport that stuck other than making Tik Toks. She has done many sports and activities since she was young: competitive cheer, dance, softball, powerlifting, and volleyball. She loves volleyball but got started late and while she works hard, over and above the school requirements, she is way behind. And that is causing her limited practice opportunities on her team and she is quite discouraged.
In any regard, golf. She thinks she wants to try golf. Where would you recommend in Baton Rouge region for lessons and beginner access to the game to help her learn how to play?
I play and I by most standards suck. Scoring mid 90’s and once a year upper 80’s. I would be a bad influence on her if I tried to help her. I appreciate anyone taking a few minutes to even consider responding and am grateful for any responses.

Question - Seems obvious but I don't want to assume. Today is just the last day that a player can enter the portal, correct? The recruiting continues until school starts in August. There isn't a mad dash to get destination decisions in today, correct? Or am misunderstanding the process?

I got the chance to watch Ruiz (Lamar) in a 3 game series this year and was very impressed. You can watch a game and see that some players are just different, he is one of them. Here or elsewhere, he will be successful. I happen to know some people from Livingston, TX which is his home town and they say he is a class human being.
Then he pretty much spent all the money the university had in reserve. It is now begging the state for funding to keep it afloat. As an Alum, it is sad to see.
UNO has to rebuild a complete roster. If the coaches are the primary reason, may be a chance to go with them.

Project, i have a question about staffs. Will the skillset of managing a roster in this new environment with NIL, etc. that P4's be a prerequisite for a P4 head coaching job? i.e. Josh Jordan to Duke is more likely now than a Mike Bianco from McNeese going to Ole Miss. If so, do you see some mid-major HC's look at P4 schools for top asst jobs in order to have an opportunity at a bigger school that the mid-major that they were in. It is a new dynamic on the resume.

Andrew Gipson, HC at Belhaven new UNO coach.
Northwestern State 10 run ruled them with a weather delay.
With a new president being named today, I am anxious to see their philosophy on athletics. Could be a telling sign to the future of the university. The last President drained university funds to salvage athletics, to turn it around the new president but probably more so the community has to get behind fundraising. Could the regional economic boon from Meta be the saving grace for the university?
What we don’t know is what the tenor of the conversations behind closed doors with NCAA were. I was under the impression there wasn’t much choice.
Does that budget include NIL paid to players? I know it doesn’t but that is also worth comparing. What is the expense of each of the MBB rosters in the SEC. I know Arkansas is about $7mil. We are about $1.5mil. What’s everyone else?

Is Efferson still the coach at STA?

Surprised the coaching carousel in BR Region has not started moving just yet. (or announcements made) With the current openings and the domino effect of those being filled and other jobs coming open, should be interesting an interesting summer.

I am trying to follow - the lefty from creek is side arm and has a few small offers? Freshman?
thanks for the repsonse. With a young/new pitching staff, I think this is something to pay attention to. Agree that all will see plenty of time and all add value differently. Thaks for this thread and your breakdowns.
Adam - I have a catching question that I am not sure how to ask for purposes of this discussion but I will try. I recall during some of the CWS broadcasts it was mentioned about how well Milazzo did at stealing strikes for pitchers. Specifically think i remember it with Floyd. How much weight does the ability for the catcher to add value to the pitching staff matter vs offensive production? Is that quantifiable? Not talking about blocking balls in the dirt to prevent passed balls or wild pitches. I am talking borderline strikes one catcher can get vs another. With the great group of catchers we have, this is one element i don't think gets discussed much. seems the lean is mostly to the bat.

I assume the higher seed is the home team. Does anyone know which sideline of the superdome will be home and visitor?

and all the commotion about Glenn only directs more people to go see what he wrote and increase his "clicks" or "views". Enriching him in the process. He gets paid to create controversy and write opinions about it.
Warren Easton wants to play too…..make sure you advocate for them the same as you are for these wins to count.
re: John Curtis v Zachary will not be played on Friday
Posted by sig3197 on 9/7/23 at 1:33 pm to Antonio Moss
Seems like a particular game of interest from week 2 is missing from this article, out of a New Orleans based media outlet, that highlights JC home games. Seems as if JC knew that was supposed to be a home game for Zachary.
Curtis, Jesuit to play home football games at Shrine on Airline this fall
June 30, 2023
By Lenny Vangilder
New Orleans’ former home of minor league baseball and current home of Major League Rugby is getting back in the high school football business this fall.
John Curtis Christian, which played district home games at the Shrine on Airline from 2016-19, is moving its home schedule back to the facility this fall, and Jesuit will also play a pair of home district games at the Shrine.
Curtis’ home schedule begins Sept. 1 against Central Lafourche. The Patriots will also meet Santaluces (Florida) in Week 3 before opening District 9-5A play against Jesuit on Sept. 22. Their other home games are against Archbishop Rummel on Oct. 6 and Brother Martin Oct. 27.
“We struggle with places to play,” said legendary Patriots head coach J.T. Curtis, who added that the ball got rolling on this project while visiting with Jefferson Parish councilman-at-large Scott Walker at a crawfish boil earlier this year.
By having a place to play district games on Friday nights, Curtis said, “This is going to allow us to have a much more productive product on the field.”
Curtis enters the 2023 season with 615 career wins, six shy of the all-time record of 621 set by John McKissick of Summerville, South Carolina.
Jesuit will play its Sept. 29 home game against St. Augustine and its Nov. 3 home matchup with Archbishop Rummel at the 10,000-seat venue.
“We were fortunate that two of the dates that were going to be in tough spots for us happened to be open for this season,” Jesuit athletic director David Moreau said.
Since the departure of New Orleans’ minor league baseball team in 2019, NOLA Gold of Major League Rugby has become the facility’s primary tenant. The facility uses the moniker of the “Gold Mine on Airline” for rugby games.
Improvements to the facility – with an eye on multiple uses including soccer, rugby and football – could begin as soon as next year.
In the spring, the Jefferson Parish Council earmarked $15 million from proceeds of the American Rescue Plan Act toward improvements at the Shrine. Councilman Deano Bonano, whose district includes the facility, said the state committed to a similar dollar amount in the 2023 capital outlay budget.
“I can’t thank the council enough to get this moving forward,” Curtis said. “I don’t think you can invest your money any better than in the youth of our community.”
