"The forecast has been all over the place but it will be cold for sure. Hopefully, a decision will be made by Thursday morning.
Stay warm & safe.

18 holes of Hickory Golf at Piney Point Golf Club in Norwood, NC (off Lake Tillery, near Mt. Gilead). Member Peter Bliudzius recently visited Piney Point and highly recommended that we make a trip.

potentially getting out of Hickory golf
I am considering getting out of hickory golf due to other commitments. Rich Schmidt and many others have done a fantastic job of organizing and lining up golf tournaments for our group.

If you know of someone left handed that has an interest in left handed clubs please let me know.
