Southern Pines Golf Club

Today will see a rare visit to the Southern Pines Golf Club for a day of golf. I say a rare visit because for locals here in the Pinehurst area, Southern Pines club has not been fee friendly. However, this year they have added their course to some local discounts and I expect they will get more play from locals as a result. The course is one of a few in the country that is owned by an Elks club. However, my sources tell me that it is currently being managed by another golf facility in the area and may possibly be for sale by the Elks. Years ago when I first started coming to the Pinehurst area, you could play this course for a very low cost if you were a visiting Elk but for whatever reason, that stopped happening much to the disappointment of member Elks. I look forward to today’s round as it always was a very nice course to play. Attached below is a rundown of the course and it’s history. I’ll let you know how the course plays at the end of the day. Happy golfing from this average golfer!

Slow Mo your Shot

While we wait for the weather to improve here’s something to consider doing when you get back on the links. Slow mo a shot of your swing. I had one of my golfing buddies do this for me recently and it was really fun to watch. I was on the 13th tee of the Whispering Woods course in the Pinehurst area. You can view the video below. So, get your smart phone out, take that swing and have your partner video it. It’s not one of my best shots, just done randomly, and I am sure you can find several faults, but now there is a reason to review that swing and maybe make some improvements. Making golf fun is what it’s all about! Happy golfing from this average golfer!
