LEGENDS: PINEHURST PHOTO ALBUM
Golf
was not James Walker Tufts’ game. Pinehurst’s founder preferred a game
similar to croquet called “roque.”
The
Carolina Hotel, which opened on New Year’s Day, 1901, was constructed on the
highest ground in the village.
The
University of North Carolina tennis team visited Pinehurst from Chapel Hill.
When
land was needed to expand golf, the “old” tennis courts were moved to the
other side of the clubhouse. Today, the first hole of Pinehurst No. 3 is located
on this spot.
We’re
looking for “Legends” from Associate Clubs and ClubCorp Resorts. Please send
photos and information to “Legends,” Private Clubs, 3030 LBJ Freeway, Suite
350, Dallas, TX 75234.
