Yea I walk most of my rounds, I walked at Tanglewood and enjoyed the walk. It is more hilly than the sandhills but not too different than a lot of Raleigh courses.
But the Pats are great. Itās just facts. Well, we were until Brady left.
For you Triangle folks, I played River Ridge this afternoon, went off around 4:30 and just finished in the dark.
Decent little track; theyāre having some pace of play issues during the COVID era (lots of singles + doubles shooting out) but nothing too acute. Great to get out and play a bit. Course is in pretty good shape - this place isnāt blowing anyoneās hair back but it gets the job done.
Anyone been out there recently?
85 today, best round of 2020!

I played pine hollow today. The greens were running 11 according to the starter and they are keeping quite a distance between tee times. Lots of bad iron shots but lots of fun putting on those greens.
River ridge is a solid track as well. Havenāt been out there in a few months but worth it for the price.

Nice, I miss Pine Hollow, havenāt been there since I moved away from Raleigh. Iām gonna have to get back to that area sometime to play a few tracks Iāve missed for a few years.

Math on the greens checks out. Theyāre super quick.
When @Just-a-little-right and I played last week they were sending people off about every 6 minutes (seemed like) so maybe theyāve changed? Hope so. Pace of play always gets jammed up on the first 5 holes with those two par-3s and then usually clears up.

We didnāt have anyone behind us the entire round and only caught up to the group in front of us when they got backed up around 15 or 16.
New guy here. From Raleigh but currently living in Sanford. Went through a few lean years on the course but made a point to play more golf this year. Thanks to the virus Iāve played more in the last 6 weeks than I did in all of 2019. BIL works at Pinehurst so once they open back up Iāll really be back in the swing of things.

A bunch of us bought Tobacco Road players cards and have tee times on Saturday and Sunday. Itās currently $50 to walk for players card holders.
We also have a Royal and Ancient Company of Dishonorable Golfers chapter thatās pretty active.

PH is a great track for the $19 price tag to walk after 1 (maybe 2??) pm. Always have the best greens for public tracks in the area IMO. First hole in one of my life happened on #3 in December

Got a buddy looking to get fit for some clubs he already purchased in the Charlotte area when places open up again.
Any suggestions?
Highly recommend Golf Etc in Monroe. He is still open and doing fittings. Great people.

The guys at club champion in South Park are very good as well. Top notch facility. I do most of my stuff with the studs at Lonnie in Raleigh, but when Iām short on time and need something close to home, club champion is great. They have about as full a line of product available to test as it comes
Hey guys I have a tee time Thursday at The Cardinal in Greensboro at 2pm if anyone is interested. I booked as a single so there are 3 spots available.
