Much discussion over many months led to the decision to restore the course as close to the original as possible. Brafford discusses the restoration process.

Abstract:

Women members of the NORTH CAROLINA magazine Golf Panel chose the Pine Needles Golf Club in Southern Pines as the state's Best Course for Women. LPGA pioneer Peggy Kirk Bell and her family have owned the Donald Ross-designed course for over forty years. After acquiring it, Bell made some course changes to make it more in keeping with the kind of golf women play.
