That's the beauty of Bella Vista. With a dozen or so golf courses in the area, it only takes about 5 minutes after work to hit one. And with evening golf (after 5:00pm) only costing $9 including cart fees, it makes it a VERY tempting offer to try to get there every night.

NINE DOLLARS!

We play once a week, now.

I want to come see Bella Vista, from what I have heard it is alot like Hot Springs Village. Buying my lot there was the best move I ever made, and I dont even live there...yet. I love the idea of 8 courses within minutes of each other.

I'm always looking for people to play with if you ever need another.

I'm not great, but I will end the search for a $4 ball before I slow the game down.

Thanks.

We have set up a standing tee-time for 5:20-5:30p each Tuesday evening in the summer time. Usually at the Kingsdale golf complex. Its a 9-hole mentality, but you can play as long as you have light. A 2-some can get in 18 pretty easily. And we are casual. Send me a PM if anyone is interested in joining. Just pay your own way. $9.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
