UL basketball alum Rhett Hebert is part owner in the CC ... and a bunch of other people I may or may not know.

I can't wait for Southern Oaks CC to open.

I loved playing in Abbeville it was such a laid back atmosphere... plus it was an easy course

It was pretty cool. We used to play a lot over there. I'm left handed. Teeing off on that 1st hole always made me nervous of slicing it right into traffic. So, I would take out a 4 iron and topspin one all the way down the fairway.

Tough course for lefties. OOB left on 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 17 and 18.

You are assuming I actually can control such subtleties of tthe game of golf. Lol

When I did hit a draw, it wasn't on purpose. Golf always drove me crazy. I never played better than after not playing for awhile. The more I played, the worse I would get.

I haven't played in years, but I know if I got my clubs out of storage and hit the links, I would tear it up and get hooked again. I'm too old and fat now to torture myself like that again.

I would have walked off the course right there and never play again, leaving on a great shot.

I was like CN, the more I played, the worse I got. Quit right after dropping a putt that Tiger would had gotten on Sports Center. I left golf happy.

Glad Abbeville has a course again.
