Announcing 2023 My Golf Spy Outing-Pinehurst Area

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

I'm really hoping I can make this trip happen. Only an hour and change from my house! If so, I'll offer to take any early arrivers to the Sanford Municipal course (also a Ross; on the way from RDU airport to Pinehurst) - if we get enough for this, it's a perfect course for a half-set best-ball game.

I’d be down to hang out in the villas as late as feasible to get to know everyone.  The price portion would be the biggest hindrance for me. If I could save by not having to stay in a villa that would be most helpful. 

Absolutley, hoping to get as many local golf only players as the courses will allow.  It's all about meeting and hanging out with great members of the fourm.

I'm like a good Timex watch. Takes a licking but keeps on ticking! 

Besides that, take a look at my wooden floaties.......... In matching color tones of course.

As someone who won't be going on this excursion, but went to the unofficial (in name only) first excursion, I will recommend it if you can make it work with your finances and time. Even if you're a quieter person in real life, like me, or someone who doesn't do great in large social environments, also like me, I can tell you that this trip was one of the most fun things I've ever done.

Everyone is nice (when the needles aren't out), everyone is willing to talk shop or anything that may be of interest to everyone, and everyone wants to make the people who feel like they're on the outside welcomed and brought into the fold as friends and people. Not only are you going to get to play some awesome golf courses with awesome people, hopefully you'll leave this trip salivating to get back to the next one.

That's my honest pitch for you all. If I could do it this year too I'd be there will bells on. Sadly financials and other goals and trips for me and missus will take priority in 2023, but she wanted me to go and will definitely want to push me for 2024, so I hope to get to see you guys soon again... namely @MDGolfHacker, let that dollar rest easy in that frame my friend.

Greg,

 

That is very kind (and generous) of you!  I would love to play Sanford’s Muni, and I bet that I would enjoy it much more than I have enjoyed (or, more appropriately said NOT enjoyed) my two rounds at Tobacco Road!!!

I know some people who think they are the greatestg things since Banana Pudding Ice Cream...my sister being one of  them.  But having had two different machines and four different sizes of masks, I can say I fully fit into the group (who Dr's have said are legitiamte) unable to adapt to them.   

This commerical had to be secretly filmed while I had the CPAP, I'm convinced...ha

When I first saw the announcement/title, I thought this was the MGS National event... as it too has been talked about for some years now. I now see this will be the next of Rob's most excellent regional spy meets.  The chatter and smack from the event this past summer was fun to follow.  I'm sure this events participants will be up to the task.  Bryan will no doubt bring his CCC4 street sign and trophy to adorn the snack table 😊.  

Except for the PNW Meet-up, which I presume will happen again in 2023, the 5th Anniversary event btw, THE WEST IS DEAD 😧.  My inquiry for a Rocky Mountain Round-up has no pulse.  I've long been surprised that no one has put together a Southwest Spy Meet-up (at least that I'm aware of).  Certainly we must have enough spies between AZ and So. CA to plan a 2-3 day event 🤷‍♂️.

Anyway, glad to see Rob has another event in the works - definitely looks fun 👍.

My wife says that I haven’t been snoring much lately, and she says when I do that it isn’t loud or long-lasting.  Maybe the fact that I lost 26 lbs and have kept it off for 2 years has helped with my snoring.

My Myrtle Beach group [we have been going for 23 years, with one skipped year in 2021 due to COVID (well, 8 guys still went, but not the full 20 to 24 man group)] always plays 36 holes on one day of the six-day trip.  Lately, that has been my only two-round day each year, although occasionally I do play 27 holes in a day.

Actually this is an official National  Event   I  had a Time lapse memory flashback as it typed the title.  As it is  open to anyone from anywhere in the forum they wants to join.   I am organizing it with Adam’s blessing.  There will be support from HQ as well.  
 

If you are referring to one being held near HQ to be the National event.  I can’t honestly tell you when they will happen. It definitely will . But there are things that need to happen before that can take place.
 

So in the meantime I encourage anyone to come join the fun in Pinehurst.   
 

Also as you may have read earlier. I certainly have my eye on the west coast or certainly one easier for west coast guys to make it.    
 

I know from experience these can take time to grow.  And I’m confident in a few years, we will say.  Remember when this all started with 12 guys in a cottage in Maryland 😎

Yes, that's what I initially thought.  Hopefully this happens at some point in the not too far distant future.  Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many spy meet-up's have we had and where since the forum started?  The PNW has held 4 so far and the inaugural event was started by @Har in the Hat.

Yes, I do believe that will happen for sure at some point.   

Good questiion on the how man and first outings.   Here are just the few that I know of based on readng the forum for several years. 

Some of the original members/mods including  @GolfSpy Barbajo  @Mr_Theoo and possibly @MattF and @hckymeyer had one somehwere in ohio, or MI  I'm sure one of them can give the exact info. 

Speaking of Ohio, I went up and played with Matt, Mr Theo and @MaxEntropy in a small outing 3 years ago. 

In Texas @TBT and some members had one that a few guys traveled to for a wedding I think and played.   Dont know if @Golfspy_TCB was part of that or not.

Florida, Barbs  and MattF used to make an annual trip down to play with @fozcycle and a couple other guys down there.

About 4 years ago we had a pretty decent one in Maryland as well with @cnosil @golfinnut @MDGolfHacker @STUDque and some others, I think we close to 12 for that one, memory is failing me on the others that made it.

I've played with @GolfSpy Barbajo a few different times with some of the older members in MN.  @SPY ZINGER Hosted the first meetup I played in at Stoneridge GC in MN.  I've also been lucky enough to meet and play with members at The Kingdom and at Cleveland/Srixon out in Cali.  I wasn't in Ohio or MI ever though.

I've played with @GolfSpy Barbajo a few different times with some of the older members in MN.  @SPY ZINGER Hosted the first meetup I played in at Stoneridge GC in MN.  I've also been lucky enough to meet and play with members at The Kingdom and at Cleveland/Srixon out in Cali.  I wasn't in Ohio or MI ever though.  

Thanks Brian..I almost said MN, knowing that's where you are from, I knew it was one of those upper Mid-West states,  Good Ole Spy Zinger...gone but not forgotten! 

I remember the Srixon trips; those were pretty fun to follow and a great experience for the members and the MOD's that escorted them.  Of course that trip stopped just as I became a MOD...hmh?

I've played with @GolfSpy Barbajo in Florida with @fozcycle and @revkev and also at Firestone. I've also played with @tony@CIC in Ohio and Florida. Sadly, my Florida trips may have come to an end.

The Ohio crew
@tony@CIC @RollingGreens @MaxEntropy @DiscipleofPenick @Mr_Theoo etc try to get together every year, although this year was a bust. I think we've done close to 6 or so starting with Mr_Theoo and I a million years ago.

As @Golfspy_CG2 mentioned, we've played in Ohio before.

I was down there last week. Played Tot Hill Farm, Talamore, Mid South, and Pinehurst #2. Hit the Race Track Restaurant for breakfast. The food is great and very reasonable. 

The Track is one of the hidden gems in the area, an old-style breakfast place, solid food at reasonable prices.  I spent 3 weeks in the area around the Thanksgiving holidays, played a good bit of golf, and attended (most of) a USGA/PGA Rules workshop.  I know the guys will enjoy this outing, Talamore, MidSouth, and Pine Needles are 3 of the best you can play without staying at the Pinehurst Resort, and the MidSouth Lodges are really posh.

Avoid the 8ft tall bunkers in several of the par 3’s at Talamore.  You get up against the lip or anywhere in one of those and it’s game over.

Don't miss much about Minnesota, but the golf was always exceptional...as was your tricked out custom blue golf cart!  My son is still there, so maybe we can get out and play...he may be planning a major life event soon, depending on how this weekend works out 😉

The round we played at Firestone was a blast -- and my 6 months as a member there was the best six months of my life!!!

Was just thinking about this - do you think we should look at maybe something like a specific-purpose Instagram account, or ___ or ___ for on-going updates..?

I.e. something *quick* and *easy* to post a pic and a comment
