I have a condo at Talamore (between Pinehurst and Southern Pines), and visit a couple of times every year, so I've become pretty familiar with that area.  Have you made any plans so far?  Accommodations range from entire homes to condos to upscale hotels or more budget-conscious hotels.  What are you looking for?  Similarly, there is a wide range of golf courses, and prices, and lots of choices for dining.  Give me a bit of guidance, and I'll help you in any way I can.

These are the courses I plan to play. I don't think dormie is in the area, but I'd make a day trip. No plans beyond the slate of courses.

Pinehurst (No.2)
Pine Needles Lodge & GC
Linville GC
Tobacco Road GC
The Dormie Club
Pinehurst Resort (No.8)

To play at PH #2 and #8, you may need to stay at the Pinehurst Resort, or at one of very few other hotels that can book you there.  You should check out the Pinecrest Hotel..  If you stay at Pinehurst Resort, most of their packages will put you on the Pinehurst courses.  That's not a hardship, they're all pretty good, #4 and #9 are my other favorites.  I haven't played Linville, so won't comment.  The Dormie Club is only 3 or 4 miles from downtown Pinehurst, and very much worth playing.  I really enjoy Tobacco Road, its quirky but fun, and a real good challenge.  My other favorites in the area are Midpines, across the street from Pine Needles, MidSouth and Talamore (my home courses there).  Another great place to play, at a bargain price, is the Southern Pines Golf Club.

I suggest you check things out a little further, especially as far as where you'll want to stay.  I know that Talamore Resort can book you on almost all of the courses (not #2) and offer lodging in 2 and 3-bedroom condos.  Many of the hotels in the area can do pretty much the same.  Of course I'm biased, I own one of the Talamore condos.

Dormie is fairly close to Pinehurst. As close if not closer to Pinehurst than Tobacco Road. Linville is probably, at least, three hours from Pinehurse. It is up in the Mountains, not far from Grandfather Mountain.

My family of 3 and mother-in-law will head to Pinehurst. Any tips/advice?

My advice would be to leave the mother-in-law at home.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
