Sandhills of North Carolina

[Golfer20]

Hi everyone, 

Looking for some people to play with in the Sandhills of NC.  I live in Sanford (about 45 mins south of Raleigh).  I frequently play Sanford Golf Course, Quail Ridge in Sanford, and several different courses around Pinehurst.  I can play during the week with enough notice and sometimes on the weekends with the wife's permission. 🙂 I have a buddy that will probably tag along sometimes when he's off work.

Looking forward to playing with some new people through this community!

@Hardspoon and I were just down there last week and you could have joined us over the holiday weekend.

You have a lot of great options.

Awesome!  Keep me in mind if you guys are ever back down here.  I saw somewhere on here you shot a 69 at Tobacco Road.  Was that your first time playing that course?

No. Played it a few times before.

@Hardspoon is writing something up about the trip.

My wife and I own a condo at Talamore, we get down there a few times every year.  Our next visit will be around Thanksgiving., I'll try to remember to give you a heads-up when the time gets closer.

Great, sounds good!  Talamore is great course.  Have played there a couple times. 

Thanks

Hi @Golfer20! I live in Durham currently but I’m moving to Fayetteville for school in about a month. I’d love to talk to you about playing one day.

Sure man!  Are you going to school at Methodist?

For what program?

If it's the PGM program… as a 10.6, are you 100% confident you can pass the PAT?

If it's not the PGM program, why Methodist?

I’m going to Methodist for the PGM program. As a 10.6 currently I will probably not pass the PAT my freshman year unless I play lights out, but I am confident that I can improve my game enough to be able to pass it by the time I graduate.

I think part of it is that I’ve outgrown my TA1s (driver down to 9 iron). I feel that getting new clubs that are fit for me will definitely help. Another factor is that I have several PGA professionals who I can go to for lessons. I also have unlimited access to the course and practice facilities on campus, so there’s no excuse to NOT practice. 

My first step: once I get settled and everything, I will look at a lesson and club fitting.

I know… my daughter attends Methodist.

Good luck.

I'd recommend taking the PAT once or twice this summer.

She passed hers the summer before her senior year of high school. I've never understood those who enter the PGM program and get to be a junior or senior and still haven't passed it (and have little chance of doing so).

Not saying you, these are sometimes people who rarely break 90.
