Camera and film quality have evolved since 1991, but contrasts in clubhouse and course architecture staggering in these looks of 18th green of the No. 2 course @PinehurstResort. Photo at left from "Pinehurst Stories" book, at right from @USGA.

Old-timers remember Saturday spring scrimmages starting at Noon and before it was over, the Bell Tower clanging out five bells. Things a bit tamer these days but productive nonetheless, with safety @willhardy_5 wrapping up Saturday's @UNCFootball proceedings with end-zone pick.

Lots of former Tar Heels with an eye on their teammate: "It's a cool lesson—first to the film room, last to leave. Hard work wins. Brilliant guys finish first, whatever. We're out here watching him."

Struggled with Immelman and Willett but otherwise pretty easy. Impressive group.

What a shame to have let an Ellis Maples original design go fallow. And cause for celebration when it's resurrected. The story from Woodlake Country Club in Vass. @homeofusagolf homeofgolf.com/rebirth-at-woo…

It's official: @PinehurstResort No. 10 is open for play. Designer Tom Doak on the eighth tee in March 2023 during construction; the same hole viewed from above one year later through the talented lens of @LinksGems.

"I have always contended that no course is greater than its one-shotters. Each par-3 here is a gem. Each hole seems to say, 'I am a grand golf hole and I know it, as you will, too, in just another moment.'" A.W. Tillinghast on The Deuce @PinehurstResort, 1935, 6th & 17th shown.

Gas lines. Soaring interest rates. Political dysfunction. 1974 was not the best year to launch a real estate/club/resort project. Yet @SawgrassCC in Ponte Vedra is thriving in its 50th anniversary year. Drum roll for release of commemorative book ....

Three perspectives of the World Golf Hall of Fame in Pinehurst: the house in the Village (later Bank of America branch) that was HOF 1972-74; site behind five tee of No. 2 course where building sat 1974 until demolition; and new @USGA building under construction (opens in May).

Nice story in Sandhills the rebirth of Woodlake CC in Vass. After years of faulty dam and financial arrears, club under new ownership with Kris Spence resurrecting the classic Ellis Maples design. Reopened Sept. 2023. Twelfth hole site of my first ace, back in 1981 (shown w/8th).

It's all in the green test-tube emoji. A little fun. A little branding. But at its core a guy consumed by process of creating chaos.

Does it get any better than The Deuce @PinehurstResort on a brisk early spring afternoon? Here are the 4-5 corner and the left of 13 fairway ... note the looming construction to the right of 13 green in the middle of Maniac Hill driving range. @usopengolf less than 3 months off.

New Tar Heel defensive coordinator @CoachCollins slept in the coaching togs he’s wearing for the first day of spring football. “It’s kind of a tradition with me,” he says. “First day of camp, first day of spring. You’re so excited the night before, it’s like Christmas Eve.”

Spring goals for @UNCFootball: find a QB in Conner Harrell / Max Johnson, improve defense/special teams. “To get over 8/9 wins, it’s obvious what we need to do,” @CoachMackBrown says. “Stop people and change games on special teams. It’s time to quit talking about it and do it.”
