Just across the North Carolina border sits Cheraw,

Just across the North Carolina border sits Cheraw, SC, a small town that all we know has a group of adventure loving players of The Game. They travel north every year for a few rounds in the Sandhills, and perhaps even sent a delegation to compete in The Augean. But today, Saturday, April 25, 2020, the day was for Randy Draughon, who while reluctant at first to tell the story of his ace, decided to fill in the details. Playing the par 3, 3rd hole, Randy hit what he believed to be a good shot, and hopefully gimme birdie. He walked to the green, putter in hand, and discovered only 3 balls, and the search began. He and his group quickly looked in the cup just in case, and discovered Randy's ball, solidifying his first career Hole In One. Congratulations Randy, and welcome to The Road of Fame!

Traveling from one Tobacco Road to the other, Varu

Traveling from one Tobacco Road to the other, Varun Hippalgaonkar originally of Orlando, FL, currently a graduate student in residence at Duke University, made the trek for an afternoon of fresh air on Wednesday, April 22, 2020. Varun arrived began his round without an ace to his name, and with one last chance to notch the first tally mark, he stood on the par 3, 17th hole, 52 degree wedge in hand. From impact, his ball never left the pin, landing just to the right of the pin, spun directly left and landed in the bottom of the cup. Congratulations Varun, and welcome to The Road of Fame!

The afternoon was sporting with sunny skies and pleasant wind. A casual walkabout round for Mark Stewart of Sanford, NC, on Monday, April 6, 2020. Mark's round got off to a hot start when he reached the par 3, 3rd hole facing a challenging back right pin location from 144 yards. Drawing up a plan of attack to "land it on the hill, and let it feed," a playing partner teed first. Mark followed, selecting 9-iron to round out his POA. A solid strike, on his line, and after 45 years in The Game, he notched his first career Hole In One. Congratulations Mark, and welcome to The Road of Fame!

Great rounds at Tobacco Road are second nature for

Great rounds at Tobacco Road are second nature for Jackson van Paris of Pinehurst, NC. Jackson, who has been having a storybook competitive golf season this spring, brought his game for a different type of challenge on Wednesday, April 1, 2020. A round of 62 at Tobacco Road already in his record books, Jackson reached the par 3, 8th hole which was playing 193 yards, the club, 7-iron. A towering approach to a back right pin location found the number and rattled home for a "1." The tally for the front 9 didn't take long as Jackson turned to the back, 29 strokes tallied on his card. A back 9 of three under tied his lowest round of 62. Congratulations Jackson, and welcome to The Road of Fame!

Tuesday, March 17, 2020, proved to be a truly lucky day for Bradley McHugh, 15, of Cary, NC. The round was coming to a close at the par 3, 17th, when Bradley's tee shot landed at the back of the green. His ball spun back, made the trek down the slope before disappearing for his first career Hole In One. Congratulations Bradley, and welcome to The Road of Fame!

A land that has been studied, surveyed, and transf

A land that has been studied, surveyed, and transformed by hours spent with boots in the dirt. Fairways taking form with lines of orange paint, edited by a discerning artist’s swipe of his shoe, and rerouted to suit his eye. Shapers defining features with a jump from the dozer to focus their next pass. Sod laid and straightened, the grass taking root. Each blade in place, an artist’s vision imagined to a player’s delight. The grounds now trod while The Game is afoot.
To all our players who have shared our experience one stride at a time with bag in tow, share a momento of your adventure with #footstepsandfairways and a tag for @tobaccoroadgolf. We’ve got a few items up for grabs for the truest of true who honor The Game’s sporting tradition on foot for health and well-being.
Enter now through April 30!

The original tracks across sandy dunes and wild ex

The original tracks across sandy dunes and wild expanses of grass, made wide enough by the passing of two or three seeking the adventure of a diversion unnamed. A routing of imagination, The Game before tees and greens, a walk in nature’s theatre where the tally was measured not in strokes or pars, but in the betterment of health and well-being. .
The dreams of a few became a sport of the masses. The modern game cast far from the first slivers of courses, yet the players’ vestige sits with all who take up a club and ball. A player may venture far from where they first met The Game; however, the soul knowingly finds it with a footstep upon the fairway.
.
In the pursuit of health, freedom of mind, and restoration of spirit found in The Game... we invite players to experience the adventure on foot, walking only, now through April 30, 2020, for $125 per player. .

If there were ever a time for a player’s luck to

If there were ever a time for a player’s luck to change, it certainly shouldn’t be on Friday the 13th... but it was for Brad Neumann of Jacksonville, NC. A playing career spanning 18 years, Brad’s excitement and passion for The Game does not appear to have diminished. The actual number of times Brad has made his way around our property is still a little unclear but with every round complete he’s longed for the ace, career round, or highlight reel worthy shot to notch him a place on the Road of Fame. So it was fitting that he and his playing partners weren’t aware of his feat until after the shot was over. He played his approach to a left pin location at the par 4, 15th hole, where he could only see a portion of the flagstick, and assumed the result was that of a solidly struck ball. Upon arriving to the green, he and his group couldn’t find his ball, and the search began... about to abandon the search, they took a last ditch look in the hole, and there was Brad’s ball. Two firsts for Brad with one swing, his first hole out from the fairway and his first career eagle on a par 4. Congratulations Brad, and welcome to The Road of Fame!

The fairytale Hole In One rarely happens, and some

The fairytale Hole In One rarely happens, and sometimes, it happens at your favorite golf course. For Scott Daniels of Glen Ellyn, IL, a once North Carolina resident, the fairytale became reality on Wednesday, March 4, 2020. A last minute decision to escape the Illinois winter, Scott booked a flight out of O’Hare headed for Raleigh-Durham, his destination, a plow marked “1.” He arrived at our gate, and was paired with Jake Winters of Nashville, TN, who was about to undertake his first round at The Road. Scott, a veteran of the Strantz masterpiece, began the guided tour. They arrived at the par 3, 3rd hole, where they found a difficult back left pin position. Scott played his approach, knew it was struck well, and Jake found himself thinking, “That might have gone in.” Not wanting to jinx his playing parter so early in the day, they headed toward the green, and discovered Scott’s ball at the bottom of the cup for his first career Hole In One. Scott flew back to O’Hare that afternoon a proud inductee to The Road of Fame. Congratulations Scott, and welcome to The Road of Fame!

The Sandhills of North Carolina are an annual esca

The Sandhills of North Carolina are an annual escape from the Minneapolis, MN winters for Steve Wenersbach and Janet Yde. Their round at Tobacco Road is always a highlight on the annual getaway for the couple said Janet. They visited this year on Thursday, February 27, 2020, and Steve arrived at the par 3, 14th hole with one Hole In One to his name, and left with his second. A pitching wedge from 101 yards landed safely on the green while Steve and Janet watched as his ball began traveling the short distance to the hole before disappearing. Congratulations Steve, and welcome to The Road of Fame!

In the first playing, better competition could not

In the first playing, better competition could not have been found. The truest of players journeyed to take the field. No swing left in the bag, every putt holed... each match parted as friends in The Game. The Dyad concluded, and the first pair of victors emerged... the father/son duo from Michigan, Dave and Matt Bartnick hold the honor til the tee opens for The Dyad II.
Our warmest thanks to all who joined us for a weekend of adventure, spectacular shots, and camaraderie in The Game. Til next year. .
