Pinehurst will host 2014 men's and women's U.S. Opens By Jim Gorant Senior Editor, Sports Illustrated (Golf Plus) Published: June 14, 2009 The USGA will play the 2014 men's and women's U.S. Opens on consecutive weeks at Pinehurst No. 2, assuming that one final, expected approval is given to the plan on Monday morning. The U.S. Open will take place on June 12-15 and the U.S. Women's Open will follow on June 19-22. The arrangement, a first for the two events, arose when negotiations for Pebble Beach Golf Links to host the 2014 women's Open fell through. Pebble Beach will host the 2012 U.S. Open, and the club felt as though it needed more separation between the two tournaments.
	BRENNER TRACT DEVELOPMENT Written by Greg Hankins November, 8 2007 The Dormie Club Development at the intersection of Beulah Hill Church Road and NC Highway 73 received preliminary plat approval from the Moore County Subdivision Review Board [SRB] in a Tuesday, November 6 meeting. The golf course development lies on more than one thousand acres — a parcel commonly called “the Brenner tract.” Developer MHK Ventures has already begun construction on the golf course, SRB members learned during the meeting. The Moore County Board of Commissioners approved in June a rezoning which set aside 377 acres for the golf course in a PC-Public and Conservation district. The residential portion of the development will occupy 646 acres, which under current ordinances could accommodate more than 650 homes, Planner Cris Armstrong told SRB members.

	From Golflink: Pine Crest Inn The Pine Crest Inn opened in 1913. The great Donald Ross owned it from 1921 until his death in 1948. By 1961, the inn had fallen onto hard times. Robert Barrett bought it out of receivership and it has been in the Barrett family ever since. Barrett became friends with Lionel Callaway, who invented the Callaway scoring system. One night I met him at the hotel and we came up with this idea that it would be fun to chip, so we built this wooden frame and covered it. This began the lobby chipping. You can feel the ghosts of Hogan, Snead and the boys when you walk through the door. This is where the pros got together when they were in town and the tradition continues .



	Remembering Annie Oakley ,“There never was a sweeter, gentler, more lovable woman than Annie Oakley,” close friend and stage comedian Fred Stone said. “It was always amusing to watch people who were meeting her for the first time. They expected to see a big, masculine, blustering sort of person, and the tiny woman with the quiet voice took them by surprise.” Annie was more than willing to speak her mind, and she often got away with saying what might have been outrageous coming from another woman’s mouth. It certainly didn’t hurt that she could shoot a playing card held flat at 90 paces. Read More About Annie Oakley:The Pilot	Annie Oakley (August 13, 1860 – November 3, 1926) *Wikipedia*
