2014 U.S. Opens at Pinehurst No. 2 – Comprehensive Index of Links
« on: April 22, 2014, 01:46:15 PM »
I’m looking forward to seeing the men and women challenge Pinehurst No. 2 over the next couple weeks. A few links of tournament previews, course tours, videos/articles on the course restoration, GCA threads, etc.

Also, congrats to GCA's Alex Podlogar of Pinehurst Resort on his tremendous work leading up to the tournament over the last few years.

Also, while posted earlier in the week, the 'State of the Game' podcast featuring Chris Buie is a must-listen.
http://www.geoffshackelford.com/homepage/2014/6/4/state-of-the-game-podcast-40-pinehurst-chris-buie.html

It also encouraged me to buy his new book, 'The Early Days of Pinehurst.'  (PR works.)
