Four 1996 Framed Scorecards from North Carolina's Legendary Pinehurst Resort, featuring Course #1 and the Iconic #8
Pinehurst, NC: Pinehurst Resort, 1996. Fine. Item #18632
A strikingly beautiful presentation of scorecards from two of Pinehurst's celebrated courses, including #1, the first of the resort's courses, opened in 1898.
The cards, both of which feature colorful maps of the links as they were in 1996, the year that #8, depicted here, opened. The cards feature both the fronts and backs of the cards, hence four cards for two courses.
"The first nine of what would become Pinehurst No. 1 was designed by Leroy Culver in 1897 and the second nine by John Dunn Tucker in 1898. Donald Ross however came in 1901 to tie it all together into a full 18-hole course, beginning a long career at what would become Pinehurst Resort. While there have been many changes to No. 1 over the years, many to accommodate the construction and renovation of the other courses, the original design is still there. The course is currently grassed with Certified Tifway 419 Bermuda tees, fairways, and rough and Mini Verde ultradwarf greens.
"Pinehurst No. 8, No. 4's contender for second best at the Resort, was designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 1996 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Pinehurst. The course is a classic Fazio design which puts a premium on playability with a nod to the tradition of Ross' signatures including many difficult green complexes. The course has the least amount of housing bordering it of any course at the Resort and as such is a more tranquil round, winding through wetlands and forests, earning it a Signature Sanctuary designation from the Audubon Society in 1996. No. 8 has played host to the PGA Club Pro Championship twice and hosted the 2017 US Amateur Four Ball with No. 2. The course is currently grassed with Certified Tifway 419 Bermuda tees, fairways, and rough and Champion Ultradwarf greens. No. 8 has ranked in the Top 100 public courses in the United States." - wiki
