SHREVEPORT, La. -- It's been a year of change for a lot of ArkLaTex businesses. But not always because of the coronavirus, and not always in a bad way. "When they couldn't do anything else, people would come out to the golf course," said Steve Skrivanos, Southern Trace Country Club president. In fact, some of Shreveport's most popular country clubs call 2020 a silver lining of the year-long pandemic. "We've been extremely fortunate," said Ricky Rogers, COO and general manager of East Ridge Country Club. "This past year has been one of our best years ever."
