When a fence was erected to enclose the course, Still, throughout such a lengthy and distinguished amateur career, a four-foot gap was left by the green to allow Hyndman easy access. Hyndman may have enjoyed nothing more than his chance to share his “I don’t know if I ever beat him in any of our nine-hole matches,” passion for the game with others. Sullivan said. “We played for a soda. He never let me give him the soda, but I don’t know that he ever had to buy me one.” Here was a man who had achieved nearly everything in amateur golf, yet received no greater pleasure than seeing others develop the love for golf as he had decades before.

  • N O R Th Car O Lina Go Lf Busin
    President’s Message March 2019 When you are at a gathering of folks you don’t know, what do you talk about? The weather, of course. Well unfortunately that topic remains pervasive among golf course owners and operators. And save a couple of short-term exceptions, our weather could not be worse. Again we are way ahead on precipitation and we can’t catch a break to capture much revenue. You would think that roulette ball would land on a black number after 10 straight red numbers! As golf course owners and operators, it is critical that we have a business and political climate that is fair and balanced in allowing us to operate our courses. Today’s political landscape is challenging to say the least, and our goal is to make sure that our elected officials are informed about our industry, so they can make good decisions when they involve the business that is our livelihood. Golf not only supports us and our families, it is crucial to our fellow workers, employees and millions of Americans that enjoy the fun and healthy experience of golf. To this end, I will be traveling on May 1 of this year with our Executive Golf Golf Director David Norman to Washington, DC for National Golf Day. We will join a group of hundreds of members of the golf community in our continuing effort to provide relevant information to the members of Congress that form the backbone of our governing process. But as we lament, it’s time to make our own luck.

  • Dogwood History Year by Year 1.9.20
    Dogwood History Year by Year 1941 - Tommy Barnes Tommy Barnes, with a 72-hole score of 4 over par, 292, won the first Dogwood Tournament over the Druid Hills links on April 25, 26, and 27, 1941. Sportswriter Al Sharp described Barnes and his remarkable showing: “Needing a 2-under-par 34 on the back nine to beat Gene Gaillard, the happy-go-lucky man in the lucky green hat shot exactly that for victory. One over par through the fourteenth hole and knowing what he had to do, Barnes rolled two birdies in a row into the fifteenth and sixteenth cups for a stroke lead and held it to the finish. He got down a six-footer at the fifteenth after a beautiful iron to the par three hole, and then hit the par five sixteenth in two shots to land another birdie. “Barnes had moved into third place at the three-quarters mark with a 71 for 221, five strokes back of Dr. Julius Hughes, the medalist, and one behind Bill “Dynamite” Goodloe. The winner carded a 37-34-71 on the final round. There had been some innovations for the tournament. In particular, prior to 1941 the accepted amateur tournament was medal qualifying and match play elimination. It was an accepted fact that the lack of experience in medal play was responsible for many fine amateur golfers failing to qualify in various tournaments. A medal competition better prepared amateurs for the following qualifying rounds in regularly scheduled state and local tournaments. Medal competition also was regarded as a more valid method of establishing the best golfer during the event.
