Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Been a bit inactive the past week. I was lucky enough to get to attend the TeamTitleist Invitational at Pinehurst last week. We played No.4 and No.2 and spent a lot of time demoing the new 917 line as well as some short game testing with the SM6 and ProV1 and ProV1 x First wet of pics are from Day 1 on No.4. Not a ton of time to take pics that day as The pace was very fast.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Day two brought the much anticpated round on No.2 with a couple pics from inside the clubhouse A look at the 18th green shows a bit of the Donald Ross design That house is Literally a half wedge from the 4th green. My only birdie look off the day. I missed it sadly enough but I didn't three putt. So that was good. This is the 8th green from the spot where John Daily took about 3 tries to get on the green and failed and finally swatted the ball away and walked off the course in 2005. And because you just can't leave No2 without the obligatory pose with Payne Stewart Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thanks. I have one on order and thank goodness for a full fitting as the head, loft and shaft that I was fit for are not even close to what I thought would work best for me.

I've been to a lot of places in this great country and Pinehurst - Southern Pines is by far one of; if not my favorite place. Besides great golf all around I found the people and hospitality/friendliness they inherently possess a major feature. And not just in touristy areas and club houses. Everywhere.

I'll be returning sooner rather than later. This was probably my 7th or 8th trip overall but first since the renovation to number 2. Heck one of trips I even took by myself. During that trip I played just one round but spent one entire day on the grounds of the main clubhouse without playing. I took 2 hour lesson, practiced on the ramge and short game area for a couple h ours. But the coolest part was spending about 4 hours on the veranda just watching groups come in and play 18. I met so many people that came up and sat next to me in one of the rockers for 20 minutes or so at a time. You are so right about the friendliness and hospitality of eveyone you run into in the entire town. It truly is my favorite place in the world to go to.

drewneddy Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 What kind of condition was #4 in? It was basically shut down when I was there in August. Disease on the greens and we got moved to #6.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy mobile app Well the night before we played 4, there was 5 inches of rain 11pm to 5 Am. It was a constant thunderstorm all night. I fully expected them to tell us we weren't going to be playing. Our tee time did get pushed back from 8:30 to 9:30 and there was a little bit of standing water in some bunkers. But all in all I have played much worst conditions with a lot less rain. Even if you take the rain out of it. It was in very good shape, except for one green (no 13) definitey looks like some disease or something got to that one. As for 2. I had not liked what I saw of it during the 2014 Open. I thought they had ruined the look of it. But seeing and playing it person, I came away very much impressed and it's still my favorite course I've played.
