NOCC is so exclusive. Only way you get on is by knowing someone. I have honestly never seen the course with my own eyes.
I’ll see if I can work something out with my buddy who is a member at MCC. Shoot me a message on here when the time gets closer and I’m sure I can make something work.
Thats kinda what he was alluding to about NOCC. That would be awesome! it would be sweet to link up and try and play a round down there around april 4th or 5th when were down there.
I’m definitely up for this! As long as I am in town and have a few days notice I should be able to join.
Bartholomew or Lakewood would be my choices, or Audubon if folks wanna do a short course.
I’ll see what I can do bud. Worst case TPC Louisiana will be ready for the Zurich around those dates.
Not mad at that either!
Update: TPC is cart path until after the Zurich. If you want to walk it I’m down, if not let’s hit English Turn.
Meet-Up Update:
I’m going to create a spreadsheet on Wednesday when I get back to the office after Mardi Gras. I’m going to call a couple of courses and see what’s the best price I can get for a block of tee times. I’ll bounce back in here with the courses and prices to see what’s best for all. Thinking I’ll call Audubon, Joey B, English Turn, and Lakewood. Tentatively let’s say the first weekend of April, but open to changes.
Let me know what Audubon quotes you. I may be able to get them to knock it down some.
I don’t mind walking but it depends how much time ill have to spare to walk
A little late to the party but Covington here.
What is everyone’s preferable time to play? Early morning, mid morning, mid day?
Alright y’all, here it is! Please do not hesitate to update the sheet with anything that I might have missed.
I need everyone to put their name under the attending table and vote on a course that strikes your fancy. I need to confirm with the course as soon as possible. Guests outside of the refuge are more than welcome. Need more than 12 people to get locked in at these rates, so please do not hesitate.
Thinking once we have played that morning we all should partake in some food and drinks (#LiveUnderPar) at a local bar on the east bank. I am open to a format of some sort if anyone would like to get a little competitive, but if not it would be a great meet up/networking event. Would really like to meet some of my fellow New Orleans area Refugees. Hope to see some of y’all get involved with this

Just put my info down.
Lakewood is my first preference then Bartholomew.
Let’s geaaaauuuuxxxxx.
Lakewood quoted the best price relative to their usual weekend rates.
I’d love to join but my wife is due on 3/26 so I’m tentative at the moment. And that might be generous…
I am going to be out of town, but sounds like a blast.
Congrats, and best of luck with everything!
My wife and I went to the doctor for her final appointment before her due date (two days later), and her doctor made the decision to induce the next morning. My wife told me to go out and play that afternoon to calm my nerves before the induction the next morning, so I went to Bartholomew. I started on the back and just after I teed off on 15 my wife called me and told me her water broke. I raced back to the clubhouse, with a huge congratulatory applause from all the guys hanging out.
It was one of the most memorable rounds of golf I’ve ever played.
Hah, great story.
Since I’m taking a week off work I’ve been joking/not joking with her that I hope she holds out until the 5th or 6th so I can be home all day for Thursday and Friday of The Masters.
She just chuckles and makes some comment on how comically unprepared I am…
Saw you said that you are in Covington. I’ll probably be moving up to that side of the lake in a few months (still TBD).
What course(s) do you normally play? I used to play the course in Abita Springs, but last time I went out it had totally gone to hell in a hand basket. My girlfriend’s godfather is on the board at Tchefuncta so I will probably give them a whirl whenever I make it up there next.
