The Winston-Salem had real nice layouts and the courses were pretty challenging. However, the grass in the fairways was always dormant when we were there -- middle of March. So we thought we would have better luck with the grass at least if we went later and further south, thus Charlotte. We could have really gone south, but we decided a long time ago to stay within a 10-hour drive. This year, we pushed our trip back to the last week in March and certainly were not disappointed.
The weather was poor all week prior to our trip and poor all week after we got back, but absolutely beautiful the whole time we played. We got in 27 holes on Wednesday at the Skybrook Golf Club, 27 holes on Thursday at the Charlotte Golf Links, and 18 holes on Friday (our drive home day) at the Traditions Golf Course. The Traditions is my all-time favorite course so far in North Carolina. It is an absolutely beautiful creation. They call it the "Pinehurst course for people without Pinehurst money."
We were having so much fun that we forgot to take many pictures. Here are the ones we did take:

| I really didn't slam my club, just fooling around for the camera. |

| Everybody seems to be hitting one direction but Dave. |
I also think we need to look at planning a mid-summer or a fall trip with wives to Michigan. We know some great places and courses up there. That would be a pleasant change of pace.

Another fantastic trip! I'm already psyched for next year. Sorry we didn't get more pictures and especially a picture during our outside dinner at the Italian place. I learned one thing during that meal. Bugs don't fly in 50 degree weather!!!
