While visiting brother Jim and his wife in New Bern, NC on 21.SEP... I played their local course (Harbour Pte GC) and popped my first ace on the 122-yd 17th with a 9-iron. Cost me $120 at the bar (does anybody agree that it seems silly for the player to pay?) Nice prelude for the week to come.
Three days later, we checked-in to Pinehurst... four brothers, all retired, all mediocre golfers, hadn't been together since 2000 on a goat ranch in Kauai... hit from the green tees... shot an 84 on #4 Sunday; an 82 on #8 Monday; and an 87 on #1 Tuesday... place is beyond fabulous, heaven (except for the painted cement greens)... after resting with a Deuce drink from the Deuce Bar after finishing #1 we played the nine-hole "Cradle" - barefoot, holding 3-4 short irons in one hand and a Woodpecker drink in the other... had 9 people in our shift, haha, what fun.
Brother Don had shirts made for the occasion - our father's nickname was Chilkoot Charlie. Place seems obscenely expensive - until you realize there is no better golf destination in the world. Place is more than a bucket list item if you're a golfer - it heads the list.
