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:
With basketball such a dominant sport in the state, it's easy to forget the little, round, white golf ball, made popular by retirees, vacationers, and the state's professional golfers. So popular is the game that between 1990 and 1999, golf courses in North Carolina grew from 474 to 589. The state now ranks ninth nationwide, and more courses will be built in 2000. All of this is good for golfers, because it makes developers create better courses to keep the players coming back.
