Don't get too excited. I have no idea how in the world ruston will support a golf shop long term.
Yeah, that's what I meant by my wow! Such a tough business, but it has to be even tougher with golf's recent falling out of favor as a sport. Plus Dicks and Academy have a nice selection and decent prices.
None of the golfing chains made it over here around Monroe. Cajun Made has been successful, but I figure only because the owner runs it himself, knows a lot of golfers, and has fairly low overhead.
Didn't we have one at one time on Park Avenue about where the salon is now? Didn't last long if I recall.
think you are correct, though I believe they had some non-golf items as well. I'm not sure one would consider it a straight up golf shop. But I don't remember it very well.
I think it had clothes and accessories mostly. Not necessarily clubs and equipment. Maybe fancy golf balls, towels. Whatever it was, it didn't last very long.
If anyone cares, 3Docs is now Pulse Nightclub.
That's a shame, I liked 3 docs. I hope they at least still have the tap selections 3 docs did.
The name Pulse just says to me it's Q-nasty version 2.0.
Is it too much to ask for a dive bar in Ruston to stay open for more than a few months?
It's difficult when no one chooses to partake. 3docs stayed open way longer than it should have. One of the 3 docs dumped tons of cash into it to keep it open so long with no return.
At the risk of offending all of Rustoneither its old Baptists who don't want it at all or young urbans who want glowstick parties.
I (partly) kid. It would be nice though. I love the atmosphere at Enochs in Monroe (+ $3 draft on Mondays is hard to beat).
The college students didn't go. 3docs intent was to cater to the young post-college worker who enjoyed hanging out with other adults and quality beer with variety...not college students trying to cram as many cheap beers as possible into their $20 allowance. I'm not sure the market was big enough for that kind of target. The most disappointing thing for me to hear was how hard they tried with live music with no response. People just didn't care.At the risk of offending all of Ruston

It's hard to find a good gig around here these days. No one will pay the price for a full band...which typically rules me out unless I play for free...and that ain't happenin'. My price is goin' up, not down.
Back in the day we had dive bars at the Cheniere exit. There are still three on Hwy 80 at Cheniere. Cheniere Shack also has live music on weekends. No need to drive all the way to Enochs.
I work in Monroe (pretty close to Enochs actually), so its a good stop on the way back to Ruston.
I've heard they had a great hamburger. Never eaten there. I'm just right around the corner myself on N3rd street.
They keep winning awards for them in Delta Style, etc. They're pretty good and I think people vote for it because of goodwill towards Enochs in general.
