My favorite places back home Doug's and Lasca's

Personal Best Regards:
It's hard to make that comparison since nothing really compares to TV. I think that is one reason we are insulated against a nationwide downward trend in the popularity of golf. Tiger's decline didn't help, maybe Jordan Spieth will revive some golfing fervor.
BTW , Doug's and Lasca's are still going strong, although Jimmy likes flying his helicopter more and more these days. He's also a regular at our member guest, I think he played with David May
