Title: 2014 U.S. Opens at Pinehurst No. 2 – Comprehensive Index of Links
Post by: Howard Riefs 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.

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

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.

u da man!  From a GCA point of view, I'm not sure there's been another Major I've been more excited for.  More importantly Howard, when are you coming over to watch?
