Beau Chene Country Club near Mandeville appears to be thumbing its nose at demands from state health officials, parish government,

So while the rest of St. Tammany Parish dutifully sequestered in their home, practicing social distancing, the members of Beau Chene were enjoying a Wednesday night bingo game that attracted more than 50 people. 


Not to mention the club’s fitness center and pool were also open and being used at a time when area restaurants are closed to dinners and many close up at night. 

The Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate reported Parish Councilmember Mike Lorino got 18 complaint calls.

On Friday Beau Chene’s manager Donald Beaver called the bingo gathering a mistake.   

His club is also making disinfecting equipment, limiting golf carts to one person only, and moving tables father away from other ones.
