The Thankful Month
“I’m not certain of this, of course, but I believe that when good golfers die (those who let faster players through and don’t lie excessively about their scores), they come to Pinehurst and are given mulligans and preferred starting times through all of eternity.”

The Coincidental Resort
The eyes of the sports and golf worlds will be upon Pinehurst the third week in June. The largesse of the Sandhills golf community will evoke awe and interest from across the nation and the world.
It’s always fascinated and amused me to ponder the series of dominoes that fell over five years from 1895 to 1900 that allowed this “Coincidental Resort” to sprout into reality. There was no big city next door to give birth to Pinehurst. There was no ocean or mountain range to make it an aesthetic or seasonable destination, no river to provide convenient access.
