Pinehurst 8 golf course, Village of Pinehurst, North Carolina

The final round of our Pinehurst trip was at Pinehurst #8, and it turned out to be my favorite course of the 4 we played (including Pinehurst #4, #6, #7 and #8.) Pinehurst #8 was built by Tom Fazio to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Pinehurst Resort. There also aren’t any houses on the course, […]

Pinehurst 7 golf course, Village of Pinehurst, North Carolina

Pinehurst No. 7 seems to be the course that the members of Pinehurst play a lot. We had a tee time on a weekday morning, but were only allowed to make tee times until around 8:30 or so, as the members start filling after that. Not a problem on my end, but if you play […]

Pinehurst 6 golf course, Village of Pinehurst, North Carolina

We (Kate and I) played Pinehurst #6 on a Sunday morning around 8:30 a.m. There was a twosome in front of us (which we ended up passing), and a threesome two groups behind us. I love the feeling that we’re the only people on the golf course, and this course provided that. Great way to […]

Pinehurst 4 Golf Course Review – Pinehurst, North Carolina

May 16, 2010
Pinehurst #4 golf course, Pinehurst, North Carolina

Pinehurst #4 was originally designed by Donald Ross in 1919, and Tom Fazio redesigned it in 2000 as a personal tribute to Ross. There are lots of the crowned greens with drop-offs, wide fairways, and strategically placed bunkers (as you’ll see) which are all indicative of a Ross course. Honestly, I thought it was a […]

Walking Tour of London

Base of Trafalgar Square and Big Ben in distance

I went to London on a business trip, and luckily had a few hours to walk around with my camera. I took lots of pictures (no surprise there), and created a Google Maps/Flickr mashup, so anyone could follow my path and see what I saw. At the end, when I reached Buckingham Palace it started […]

Breast Cancer Awareness and the NFL

November 3, 2009

The NFL did such an impressive job of providing Breast Cancer Awareness this year, it just blew me away. My favorite item were the caps the teams were wearing. The pink bills didn’t match at all, and looked out of place, but that was kind of the point. Congrats to the NFL for stepping up!

Cutters Ridge Golf at Manistee National Resort

I used to be a member at Manistee National, so I thought it made sense to preface this review with that. In other words, yes I am biased.   I have played both courses multiple times, and am a huge fan of both. The Canthooke Valley course is more of a traditional track, while the […]
