It was one of those unexpected emails, asking me to speak at a conference and not really saying on what topic. I tossed out a couple of ideas and they said yes, mash those two together. Kind of like merging offshore swimming and the happiness of cats - I can do that - somehow. So off I went to Pinehurst North Carolina. The Carolina Hotel opened in 1905. It is on the model of a grand railroad resort hotel. There are a ton of golf courses, if that is your game. The hotel was nice, the golf courses pretty, the weather spring like, and the conference was good. Pinehurst is pretty, but it is surrounded by very rural North Carolina.
Do you play golf?
I don't play golf and it has always struck me as the most boring game -- except for the walking.
ReplyDeleteSomeone described golf as a good walk spoiled. When we moved from Florida I realized the cover had not been off my golf bag in a decade, and sold the lot at the moving sale.
ReplyDeleteThat was Mark Twain and I agree!
Deletegolf = boring! pinehurst does look interesting though. but very rural NC? rednecks galore methinks!
ReplyDeleteDirt roads and trailers within two miles.
DeleteAs much as I enjoy balls and handling a big club, alas.... no.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd rather watch oil based, beige paint dry! My attention challenged older son (who could never get past the setting up of a monopoly game), loves to golf. I need to take a maternity test to see if he really is mine :)
ReplyDeletePlay golf? No I'd rather stick needles in my eyes
ReplyDeleteI tried swinging a club a few times; I never got the hang of it.
