Pinehurst - The Beginning of the US Kids Worlds Golf Competition

07/28/14 - We arrived in Pinehurst! We spent last night checking out the surroundings and had dinner at the Brixx, great little pizza place.

 And our hotel has a small putting green!

 07/29/14 - Tuesday - What a wonderful experience for a first day. AA registered and received a "goody" bag compliments of US Kids, Pinehurst and Honda (sponsor).

 

Many statues of significant Pinehurst golfers; many of Donald Ross:

AA, outstanding in her field!

Practice round at Midland Golf Course:

Lots of signs throughout the Pinehurst Village welcoming the US Kids:

We ate a very late lunch/early dinner at Dugan's Pub - delicious fish and chips, beef stew and we liked the salmon appetizer.

More shops, more welcome signs:

Florida girls:

The crowd around the USA flag:

"Famous" Texas Star in the "Short Game" movie:

Our Florida local gang:

The CROWDS!

The parade; AA really enjoyed; we did comment though, how many fire trucks does this Town own!!

A great day; looking forward to four more here!
