Any other food or drink choices that stood out?

As I'm sure you know, the pigskin pickin meal Friday night was very solid and they gave you huge portions. 

We found a new favorite cocktail too after talking to some other golfers called a Transfusion, if I remember right, it consisted of vodka, grapefuit juice, grape juice, and ginger ale, it was delicious. They didn't skimp out on the pours at Talamore and Mid South too.

Friday after the pigskin dinner we went over to Southern Pines Brewing for a while for some beers and ended up getting some late night tacos from the food truck that was there called California Taco, he had some great chorizo and a really spicy red salsa too.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, they always do a great job with the BBQ for those.  But I absolutely HAVE to correct your wording.  In Carolina (that OTHER state is South Carolina) they have "pig pickins".  They're traditionally done with whole hogs, but I know that at Talamore they're usually done with butts (as shoulders are called).  The good ones serve some of the crackly skin, which is a great contrast to the tender meat, but its not pigskin pickin.  Its OK, though, I was a Yankee for a while once.:beer:

I haven't been to Southern Pines Brewing, its on my list for next time, nice to hear about the taco truck.

And THAT one really IS a whole hog.  Every time I've been around, including the Newport Cup, they had done shoulders.  

Have fun!

Dang, we just scheduled a visit for 8/13-8/19, and remembered your post.  Looks like we're just going to miss you.

Dang it right Dave. Can't you just stay one more day. 😉

I can't remember which unit is yours but I think one of our groups might be staying in it. So then you have to get out...lol.

Would have been great seeing my yellow ball challenge partner.

We're in 1625, upstairs across from the red team's unit.  I don't think anyone is scheduled to be in there the weekend after we we leave, but I could be wrong.

We actually were booked pretty solid, and asked if it was possible to move someone around without splitting up larger groups.  I'm just happy they could make it work for us, couldn't be picky about the weekend.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
