Getting excited. In 83 days we leave for our 'golf buddies' trip to Pinehurst, NC. This year we are playing Talamore Golf Club, Longleaf Golf & Country Club, Hyland Golf Club, and Tobacco Road. I am sure we will play Pinehurst 3 or 4 as well.

Sounds like you've been there before, but if you need food and or beverage recommendations, let me know.  Have a great time!

How was the trip @phedrick? I’m enroute right now, taking a long drive from western NY to Melbourne FL. Will be playing Tobacco Road, Talamore, and whatever I can get on to at Pinehurst as a single. Today is my five-days-out booking window so I’ll be calling soon. Also trying to get on the Cradle with my wife in the mid afternoon before we depart and drive to Myrtle Beach.

Consider Southern Pines if you can. They have re-done it. @iacashas a write here somewhere. I played years ago and am jonesing to get back there. I hear an absolute gem and value. @DaveP043, might have a more recent update/thoughts on it.

Southern Pines is highly recommended.

Though I think everyone should see Tobacco Road once, it's not everyone's cup of tea (I'm relatively ambivalent on it after the first play, but it's in incredible condition right now). I'd put a few courses in the area above it, though:

  • Southern Pines
  • Mid Pines
  • Pine Needles
  • Dormie Club if you can get on
  • Longleaf might be good (I've heard it's gotten some nice renovations).

There's also a "Whispering Woods" in Whispering Pines, NC, so you could tick off the "Whispering Woods Double" if you play that within a month of playing the one here in Erie, PA. 😄

About Southern Pines, I've only heard the rumors and feedback on golf websites, including @iacas comments here, and they're all pretty good.  I'll be down there for two weeks in November, and its already on my list.  I'm interested that Erik suggests Longleaf, I've played there just once and wasn't real impressed by the layout.  I did hear about their renovation, maybe its time to give it another shot.

My daughter just played Longleaf and TR, and she liked them both. I've heard from a few others that the renovation made a big difference.

I played it last about ten years ago, and I wasn't blown away then, like Dave has implied. So my "recommendation" of LL is second-hand.

Ok just booked 18 single for Southern Pines on Oct 25! So I’m playing Tobacco Road, Talamore, and Southern Pines. 
 

I probably wouldn’t prioritize Talamore but they let me camp there in my van the night before my round. 🚐⛳️
 

thanks for the advice

It was great, thank you.  Tobacco Road was a real ass kicker for me!   LOL.  I do like Talamore, a lot.  Keep your eyes open between 12 and 13, I think, for the paddock that holds the lamas!  The Cradle was much more difficult than I had anticipated.  Have fun!

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
