The Spirit of Pinehurst

By Lee Pace

Book Overview

The original vision for Pinehurst included tennis and bridge and horseback riding--but no golf. There was hardly a reason for Pinehurst to even exist--there was no mountain or ocean or river or city or industry. Nonetheless, the infant resort sprouted wings in teh early 1900s as one of the preeminent places to enjoy the game of golf. Its history and that of American golf are one and the same. The Spirit of Pinehurst is the a collection of stories that captures not only the rich history of Pinehurst but its singular ambience and character. You'll feel the electricity and emotion of Stewart's courageous putt to win the 1999 U.S. Open; you will revel in the sensory overlaod of the Village of Pinehurst. It has often been said that golf was born in St. Andrews, but it lives in Pinehurst.
