2014 U.S. Opens at Pinehurst No. 2 – Comprehensive Index of Links

[Howard Riefs]

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.)
Buie's book:  http://www.amazon.com/Early-Days-Pinehurst-Chris-Buie/dp/1497543762

Thanks Howard, and maybe one of these years you'll figure out how to be a little more thorough!

I'm working on it. Hopefully, I can step it up by the time the women's tournament starts.
