It’s a great time of good golf, food, fun and historic surroundings with friends old and new. This will be one of the most popular TGA trips because of its cost-conscious price and ease of travel to the Pinehurst. Spouses are welcome on this trip to either tee it up or participate in the many fun non-golf activities in the Town and the Sandhills Region.
Mid-October, when the weather starts to cool and the golf course is at its peak, is one of the most popular times of the year at Pinehurst, so I could only get a limited number of spots. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. I hope you will reserve yours soon.
Just call, e-mail or text with questions or to sign up for Pinehurst, and we’ll start practicing for our TGA trip to the Cradle of American Golf soon.
