Carolina Trace Country Club
(Creek Course)
A Private Country Club
The course architect of Carolina Trace is Robert Trent Jones Sr. and if you are a student of the game, you should know Robert Trent Jones portfolio of courses.
Jones, Sr. worked with golf legend Bobby Jones on the Peachtree course in Atlanta and again on the Augusta National course, the home of the Masters. Robert Trent Jones, Sr. became a national celebrity with his complete re-design of the Oakland Hills South course for the U.S. Open Tournament in 1951.
He immediately became the "Open Doctor" and in quick succession re-designed such major venues as Baltusrol-Lower course, Olympic-Lake course, Southern Hills, Oak Hill and Congressional Country Club.During his career, Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed or re-designed nearly 500 courses in at least 40 states in the U.S. and 35 countries around the world.
At Carolina Trace Country Club, members are fortunate to have two courses designed by such a world renowned architect.The Lake Course winds around the 315-acre Lake Trace with captivating views where maintaining focus on your game can be difficult "but fall asleep at your peril and potentially higher scores".
The course you will be playing at this private community is the Creek Course, which opened for play in 1979. The Creek Course features dramatic elevation changes, rolling terrain, and a “Creek” interspersed among the 18 holes. The narrow fairways are Bermuda grass with the greens featuring Crenshaw Bent grass.

"Improve your golf mental toughness 10-fold"
Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them!
Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf
EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind!
Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly.
-
It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons)
-
It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!).
-
It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!
Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf
"When you have a chance to shoot the lowest score of your life you won't choke - You Will Go Low!"

MADISON'S RILLING GOES LOW FOR SAPONA GOLFWEEK TOUR WIN
Lexington, NC
August 4, 2012
Go figure - the lowest score of the entire Golfweek Tour event held at Sapona Country Club was not turned in by a Championship, or even A Flight member. Rus Rilling of Madison, playing in the B Flight with a 13.2 Tour handicap going into today's play, who had not broken 90 in his first five Tour events of this season, made a simple comment when he turned in his official scorecard: "I finally put a round together".
Sapona Flight Winners (L to R): B Flight - Rus Rilling;
Championship Flight - Jared Jewett; C Flight - Eric Fria
Rilling was the model of consistency, firing a 75 without the benefit of a single birdie. He was 5 shots clear of Greenville's Jimmy Adams. It was the long-time Tour veteran's best Tour round ever. "Russ has been with us for years 'on-Tour' ", stated Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck. "It was good to see him have a career round".
Russ' score was 2 shots better that the winning A Flight score of Winston-Salem's Gary Sample, who had to go 3 extra holes to beat Morrisville's Mike Groenewald in a sudden-death playoff, and it was also 4 shots better than Jared Jewett's Championship Flight winning total. (In fairness, it should be noted that Greensboro's Jewett played from tees that were 500 yards longer than Rilling's). Gibsonville's Neal Faulkner took 2nd behind Jewett.
A Flight Winner - Gary Sample
Tour Rookie Mark Wamsher out of Hope Mills made his Tour debut a successful one with a 93 in D Flight competition to prevail over Randleman's Jeff Jackson and Greensboro's Keith Thomas by 3 strokes. "Mark certainly got his Tour experience off on the right foot", quipped Hallenbeck.
D Flight Winner - Mark Wamsher
The field of winners was rounded out by Whispering Pines' Eric Friar, who continued his excellent C Flight play with an 86. The only flight member to break 90, Friar finished 6 shots ahead of Charlotte's Matt Crates for the biggest margin of victory in any flight.
The Golfweek Tour gets another week off and will resume play on August 18 at Carolina Trace Country Club - The Creek Course. There are plenty of spots available for that event.

ONLY TWO WAYS TO GET TO THE GOLFWEEK NATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT HILTON HEAD
Where Are You In The
Year-End Point Standings Race?
There are only two ways to get to the year ending National Tournament - win one of the four majors (only 1 remains) or be one of the Top 10 point earners in your flight.
We have reached halfway into the season and some of the point races of who will be #1 in the Flights and places 7 - 14 are very tight. As little as 25 points separate tour competitors.
Do you know how many tournaments you will need to play and what place you will need to finish in each tournament to ensure you have your automatic invitation? Don't be left out.

Rules Review
It has been suggested that there should be a series of Rules scenarios for you to solve. So begins a series of problems titled What's the Score?
Doc Miller has graciously agreed to allow me to share these with you that he has been sending since July 2009.
I will include one each week. You should try to determine the answer based upon your knowledge of the Rules when ever possible and then use your Rule book to confirm.
There will be no trick questions or hidden information.
If you do not have a Rules of Golf book handy, go to: usga.org/Rule-Books and-Decisions |

Questions from week #157
Oscar teed his ball within the correct teeing ground for the 2nd hole. When he took his stance, one of the tee markers interfered with his stance. Rather than move his teed ball, Oscar nudged the tee marker out of the way.
Select all true statements:
A. In match play, Oscar might as well lift his ball and go to the 3rd hole, as he just lost the 2nd.
B. In match play, Oscar incurred a 1-stroke penalty and must replace the tee marker.
C. Oscar breached R11-2 which is a 2-stroke penalty under R13-2 in stroke play.
D. Oscar can avoid any penalty in either match or stroke play by replacing the tee marker in its original spot and if necessary, move his teed ball to a better spot in the teeing ground.
Answer:
The correct statements are A and C. See Rule 11-2. Before making a first stroke with any ball from the teeing ground, the tee markers are deemed fixed and not to be moved or adjusted. |

Tour Weather Guidelines:
Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If the course is open, we're going to play.
The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).
In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.
Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.
If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
