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.

Berg Ryman Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 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. cksurfdude, cnosil, Golfspy_CG2 and 1 other 1 3 In a Hoofer Lite bag TSR2, 10 degrees, A1 setting, Fujikara Speeder NX Blue 50-S Stealth, 15 degrees, VA Composites Nemesys 70-S E722, 19 degrees, Oban Devotion 80-S JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro 4-P, Nippon 950GH Stiff Flex CBX Zipcore 50* (bent to *49) and RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 54* (bent to *55), DG 115 Spinner, Tour Issue Staff Model TG 60*, Dynamic Gold 120 S300 SIK Golf Flo-C Tour B-XS (2022 Model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. cksurfdude and Golfspy_CG2 2 Irons Titleist T200, AMT Red stiff Rogue SubZero, GD YS-Six X T22 54 and 58 wedges 7-wood 5-wood B60 G5i putter Right handed Reston, Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriverBreaker Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 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.

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. 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 hckymeyer and cksurfdude 2 What's in the bag: Driver: TSR3; DynaPWR Carbon FW Wood: DynaPWR 3-wood; TSR 2+ Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: ZX MkII 20* Irons:; 699/699 Pro V2 Combo; D9 Forged; MT86 (coming soon!); VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTX6 Zipcore Putter: HB Soft Milled 10.5; Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; 8802; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B RXS; Z-STAR Diamond; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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!!!
