Don’t forget Billy’s place on the evening of Sunday Nov 2nd around 5PM — Beer, meade, chips, swine, jousting and football … and maybe even a serving wench or two?  My mistake… the serving wenches are waiting for us over at Dugans!!  — “DGP”

—  John

By the way, some additional information from Billy, who appears to have us Covered, so to speak:

I would add is that all Knights in our Condo (Unit 1711) should ensure they bring along a blue shirt and the others should have a yellow shirt in their possession for Tuesday’s match. If I Hat to think about it I envision a Ryder Cup twist to Cap off the competition that day and put a Lid on another stroll through the Southern Pines…  — Billy McDougal

Pinehurst 2013 – The Year of the Sandbag?

Sandbags?  We don’t need no stinking sandbags!

The week chosen was awesome… weather near perfect! We even discovered a new BBQ spot over at the Pik-n-Pig  in Carthage, NC!

This year we had attendees from up and down the East Coast.. including Florida and New Hampshire! Family re-unions, drinking and flying adventures – at the airport. We also even managed to make a few golf balls disappear out of thin air. Including one special Callaway Diablo.

Wondering who the winner was this year?  This guy below knows who it was…

Stop by our Photo Gallery for 2013 capturing some of this year’s seven day marathon of 189 holes in the golfer’s paradise that is Pinehurst, NC and surrounding communities of Southern Pines and Aberdeen NC! All in all, the entire group made an estimated 10,584 strokes of golf not counting range warm ups and clubs thrown out of sand traps during the course of the week!  The top of the Leader Board, which tracks our Stableford scoring, changed hands so many times that all the prevailing theories of sandbagging strategic planning had to be thrown out.

By the way… Congratulations Al !  Not a grain of sand in your bag…  😉

The Pinehurst Knights Website

Featured

Welcome to the official website of the Pinehurst Knights, a group of U.S. golfers who participate in the yearly Pinehurst Knights Golf Invitational consisting of 7 days of unfettered golf. The Pinehurst Knights Invitational has been a long standing annual fall event conceived by an original foursome of golfing buddies residing in the Trenton New Jersey area of the United States. Our event is deeply rooted in a multi-year history of over 12+ consecutive years. Steeped in tradition and folklore, official record keeping did not start until 2004. This website was created in 2011 to create an archive and photo gallery of our events each year. The current  membership has been capped to 12 members strong at the end of the official Fall 2014 Season!

We always enjoy the experience at Talamore and the hospitality of the Southern Pines area along with all the amazing golf the Pinehurst area has to offer. That’s why we keep coming back for more…!

Knock Often !

Here we have four highly skilled 31 masters concentrating on unseating the king of the “blind knock”, Phil.  Many have tried but only a few succeed.
