Getting into the swing of things

WEST END, NC - - On any Sunday...and any other day of the week, the 9 18-hole links at Pinehurst Country Club are busy and so are the many other  golf courses in the area.  We drive by here nearly every day of the week...early; mid day; afternoon...and there are golfers all around.  This pic only shows the starting area / driving range / practice putting green near the club house.      

     The PCC has been the site of golf's U.S. Open three times with a 2024 date upcoming.  Maybe playing a round on a famous course is on you bucket list so how much is it going to cost???   You don't want to ask.   

Old time farming

WEST END, NC - - It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.  Or Eagle Springs to be exact.  The typical farm photo includes:  high, fleecy clouds;  a field of tobacco getting ready for harvest time;  a trio of mailboxes at the start of long road / driveway and railroad tracks...with a peach orchard nearby.  Seeing a tobacco crop is beginning to be an anomaly as tobacco products are falling out of favor.
     And the pine cone??  Just another fancy photo.
