Popular Post Golfspy_CG2 Posted December 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2022 It's been asked for and talked about for quite a while. But we are having our first official My Golf Spy outing in 2023. It will be nights and 3 rounds of golf at Talamore Golf Club, Mid South Country Club and the famous Pine Needles Golf Course, JANUARY 13 UPDATE---The orignal 12 spots at Pine Needles are full and no more are available. So,a any signups booked after January 13 will be played at either Mid Pines or Sourthern Pines--Details on the cost of that and times willl come shortly. Details can be found on the website provided below. But here are the highlights: June 9-11 2023 MidSouth Lodges-2 Bedroom Villas Golf Saturday 2 rounds Sunday 1 round Cost is $836 per player all in Details Found Here In addition there will be competitions and prizes provided by MGS…And a chance to meet My GolfSpy Founder and Owner Adam Beach is planning on being there How To Sign Up-Follow These Steps Click the link above the picture where the details are listed Complete that registration-Pay close attention to the payment link in the payment area after you've added the event to your cart, it will give you a web address to Talamore to make a deposit payment directly to them-it's not a hyperlink so you'll have to type it in. If you have trouble with that link I'm including it here as well, so you can come back to it here and pay Pay Deposit Here The Deposit is $225 and is due by March 1st. But remember your spot is not guranteed until the deposit is paid. Right now, space is limited to the first 20 players to sign up. If that fills, we can possibly add more spots. Once You have completed that registration, send me a Private Message with your name, so I can verify the registration and deposit payment. Once those steps are done you are in. The balance of the payment will be due May 1st, 2023. We've already had 13 signups, so don't delay in getting in the first group of 20. I encourage you to look at the website page above, it has all the information about the event, along with links to each course. We will be staying at the Mid South Lodges, which are very modern 2 Bedroom/2 Bath Villas right along the fairways of Mid South Country Club. Each room accommodates 4, so two per room with 2 beds in each room. The villas all have a nice living room and patio. We will have access to the facilities across the street at Talamore as well, which include a Top Tracer Range. Mid South is located just a couple miles down the road from Pinehurst Resort, so there will be chances to go by there for either beverages, a meal or maybe get on The Cradle, which is I think a 900 yard or so short course, that can be played in a very casual and fun environment Feel free to drop any questions in this thread and or have just an overall discussion about it. There will be a couple surprises as well that aren't mentioned, but we don't know what they are, so that's why they are a surprise!

funkyjudge Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) If I am sharing a room, someone better be able to endure some loud snoring (even those in the other bedroom will be subjected to “overflow snoring“). I am told that it gets even worse if I have anything to drink within several hours of going to bed.

funkyjudge Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Can we go over and play The Cradle after checking-in on Friday? I also know some excellent places to eat and drink in the Village of Pinehurst (I have played #2 twice, plus #4 and Mid Pines about 20 years ago). Come to think of it, I have played almost every course in the Pinehurst area and Sanford, from a couple of rounds at Tobacco Road to most of the courses in and around the Pinehurst Resort. I have two very good friends who live there, one of whom lives a couple doors down from Donald Ross’ old home right on the course at Pinehurst #2 Edited December 14, 2022 by funkyjudge Golfspy_CG2, Lacassem and cksurfdude 3 Driver: Callaway Paradym X, 10.5* with HZRDUS Black Gen 4 6.0 shaft 4-Wood: Titleist TS2, 15.75* loft, 42.5” long, Miyazaki Kuala Mizu 7-S Utility wood: Callaway Apex UW, 19*, Mitsubishi MMT 70-S Hybrid: Sub 70 939X 4-hyb.

Yeah, I will check on the policy for the cradle, if you're not staying at the resort. I think they do offer some limited outside times to it. It would be a great way to kick off the weekend. update: I just checked an non resort guests can reserve a time at The Cradle one day in advance. So I guess it will be like getting your SouthWest Air boarding group, hititng the phone fast and fuious at midnight...ha cksurfdude and Lacassem 1 1 TSR1 9.0 Graphite Design DI 5R TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM8 48F/54/58 D Grinds Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
