1179.0. "So.Va./No.N.C. Course Suggestions??" by PRIMES::DUKLEWSKI () Fri Mar 08 1991 16:14

    I am driving from Washington D.C. to Myrtle Beach, S.C. in early May
    and would like to stop and play golf on the trip down.  Does anyone
    know of any good courses to play in Southern Virginia (south of
    Richmond) or Northern North Carolina?  Preferably close to I95. Please
    provide the course name and phone number so I can call and get
    directions.  Any suggestions are appreciated.
    
    Thanks,

1179.1"My Heart is in the Carolinas"CSG002::GLASSMon Mar 11 1991 08:2210
    Hi,
    While in Myrtle Beach, try to find time to play Island Green, introduce
    yourself to the pro(Dick Roberge) and tell him you work in the same
    company I do.
    You will enjoy the courses challenge, Dick is a great guy and we are
    members there. All three things could make for a cheap and challenging
    day at Island Green. There are three nines there and each offers fine
    challenge.
    Enjoy.

1179.2Myrtle Beach Courses I,m PlayingPRIMES::DUKLEWSKIMon Mar 11 1991 11:008
    Tom,
    I'll get back to you with the list of courses I am playing.  They
    include The Heritage, Heather Glen, The Witch and Ocean Harbor (my list is 
    at home).  Thanks for the tip on Island Green.  Where is it in Myrtle
    Beach (north or south).  I'll try to find the time to play it while I'm
    there, maybe stay an extra day.

1179.3"More on More"CSG002::GLASSMon Mar 11 1991 15:4614
    Hi again,
    It is on the South end, near the nearer Prestwick and Blackmoor
    courses.
    
    Island Green has been there for over ten years and always managed by
    the same group with Dick, a former Eastern Hockey league all star, as
    the pro.
    
    The Holly, Tall Oaks and Dogwood nines are very sporty. Playing there
    will clearly sharpen your irons into greens and tee placement game
    before you take on any of the excellent courses you are booked on.
    
    Enjoy!!!!!
    
1179.4Pinehurst is on the wayDPDMAI::VENEZIOMY other car is a GOLFCARTMon Mar 11 1991 16:554
    Have you thought about pulling off to Pinehurst. It's off 95 a ways but
    worth a day. It's about 5 hours outside of DC.

1179.5the perfect stopGRANPA::RFAGLEYloose cannonTue Mar 12 1991 13:1214
    I have the perfect stop for you.  There is a course close to
    Fayetteville off I-95.  The course is called Keith Hills and is as nice
    as any you will play in M.B.  I was just there two weeks ago and it is
    lovely.  The rough is all dormant bermuda and the greens are VERY true.
    Take the exit for Campbell University off I-95.  The course is about 12
    miles from I-95.  Follow the signs to Campbell U.  The phone number at
    the course is (919) 893-4111 X:321.  The pro shop number is 893-5051. 
    The course is actually in Buies Creek, N.C.  The course is a Dan Maples
    design and plays 6660 from the blues.  Par is 72.  The course
    rating/slope is 71.6/123 from the blues.  DON'T MISS THIS PLACE.  I am
    not a fan of Island Green and highly recommend Keith Hills over Island
    Green.  This is a real course.

    Isn't there a rule about who can look for a lost ball?  Isn't it
    the members of you're foursome and no one else?  How would this
    apply to the people looking for Pate's ball? Were they all officials?

1179.7I pays to have a big gallery....WARPII::WARFIELDGone GolfingWed Mar 13 1991 18:156
	Any one can look for a lost ball.  Some of the searchers have more 
	responsibilities than others.  For example if the player or caddy move
	the ball it's a penalty.
