Kalen...I think the best part of it is that you walk in after a flight or two, and the 75 min drive from the RDU airport, all annoyed from inevitable travel BS, look at the great porch out front with the bar, and the slightly shabby "lobby" with the kitchy golf stuff and the cracked Ross portrait and the piano bar...and you think, gee, this isn't the place for me, what have I gotten myself into...
Fast Forward 6-7 hours later, after a round at an area layout, you have been treated to a soup/salad, the relish tray, dinner, dessert, and the obligatory 4 or 5 drinks...and you belly up to the piano bar and give Clarence your best "American Pie" or "Mustang Sally" at the top of your lungs while trying to chip into the fireplace...
Then you spend the next 50 years of your life trying to weasel your way back to experience that moment over and over again...
