Abstract:
In June, 1999, the Pinehurst Golf Resort in the Sandhills became only the second southern golf course to host golf's most prestigious tournament, the U.S. Open. That 1999 Open was a tournament of excitement and drama. Payne Stewart sank a long putt on the 18th green to win. Weeks later, Stewart died in a plane crash. In 2005, the Open returns to Pinehurst. The six-year return engagement marks the quickest turnaround for American golf in sixty years, attesting to the popularity of the Pinehurst area. Tourists and tournament officials are expected to spend $150 million during championship week.

Abstract:
In 1895 and 1896, retired Boston merchant James W. Tufts bought Moore County land to develop the Sandhills Village of Pinehurst. He did not intend it for golf, but rather as a warm climate resort for retirees and for those in ill health. He added a golf course when his Northern guests began arriving with their golf clubs and looking for a course to play. Master golf architect Donald Ross designed the course, and Pinehurst began its rise to one of the top golfing destinations in the world. Pittard discusses Pinehurst's early history and memorable golfing moments.
