Well, we beat the cold weather that is approaching the Sandhills here in the Pinehurst, North Carolina area and got a round in today. Foxfire has two courses, Grey Fox and Red Fox. Our challenge today was on the Grey Fox. The yellow tees rate 68.3 with a slope of 122 and yardage at 5,864. The white numbers are 70.6/128/6,286 while the blues are 73.0/128/6,851. An above average course for difficulty. This average golfer shot a 49/46 for 95 but I had my best day this winter putting with 14 putts on the front and 13 out back for a total of 27! See, that putting practice pays off and really helps the score. I also hit 11 fairways today which is an improvement for me. The highlight of my round was a 70 yard wedge shot on No. 15 that bounced in the cup for a birdie. Foxfire is a beautiful, Gene Hamm designed course that you should add to your list of places to play here! Happy Golfing and I’ll be hitting the links again Thursday.
