2010-03-15T12:39:00.000-07:00

Our shuttle ride to Course #7 took about 10 minutes. Some of the guys wore their knickers and gaudy golf attire (see below). Most of us were playing from the Blue Tees again, which was playing about 7100 yards. The weather was perfect and the rain held off!

Dinner at Holly Inn
We had an 8:30 PM reservation for dinner at our hotel but it turned out to be "too long" of a dinner. The meals were served very slowly and everyone started dropping like flies, even some skipping dessert. We were going to play cards but most were too tired to continue their night. The dinner experience at The Carolina was much better!!

Pinehurst Day 2 - Morning

2010-03-15T12:30:00.000-07:00

Some of the guys played an extra round of golf Saturday morning. We also enjoyed a very nice breakfast buffet at the Carolina where they pretty much had anything you could want for breakfast. Wade and myself walked around the village for a little to get some pictures.

Pinehurst Day 1 - Dinner and Dugans

2010-03-15T12:18:00.000-07:00

Friday night we all had dinner at The Carolina. The atmosphere was very nice and the service was top-notch! We also received 4 free bottles of wine for our dinner reservation mixup! The dinner was awesome as our Acura Golf Package included free breakfast and dinner each day. The dinner alone would have cost around $70 as it included an appetizer or salad, entree and dessert!

After the dinner some of us headed to Dugan's Pub for a few drinks where they had a live band playing.

Pinehurst Day 1 - Course #4

2010-03-15T12:08:00.000-07:00

The first day of golf started on Pinehurst Course #4. Many of us played from the Blue tees while a few played from the White. The weather turned out much better than anticipated! We did get a few rain showers on the last 3 holes but nothing too bad!

Pinehurst Day 1 - Holly Inn

2010-03-15T11:53:00.000-07:00

We arrived at Pinehurst about one hour before our 10:24 AM tee time, we were a little rushed checking in and getting to the course but we made it in time. We stayed at the Holly Inn (see below), which was originally built in 1895, and renovated in 1997. The lobby and rooms were very quaint.

Day 1 - Travel Day

2010-03-11T15:43:00.000-08:00

Wade and myself headed for Charlotte (from Northern Kentucky) around 7AM. As we got into TN we were detoured from I-40 to I-81 due. We decided to stop at a random golf course and take advantage of the somewhat clear weather before it started raining harder, as the forecast called for a lot of rain. We found a place called Elizabeton, no not Elizabethtown, we are not missing the "w", near Johnson City, TN. We were able to get in nine holes and Wade recorded a birdie on the first hole, subsequently he shot a 9 on the 4th hole!

The other guys we're supposed to meet in Charlotte played at another course and rumor has it one of them shot a 68!! We'll all meet around 7:30 for dinner. We'll find out more about their day of golf during dinner. Here's a pic of our room where we only had to pay $20 a piece for at Embassy Suites in Charlotte!

What's New for 2009

2009-02-27T07:07:00.000-08:00

MyGolfingTrip.com is excited to be back for it's second year in existence! In our first year we have had golfers throughout the United States plan golf trips in over 15 states and 1 overseas! We also have been receiving great feedback from you guys, which makes the site even that much better!

We have recently made some feature updates to the website! You can now copy a trip so you don't have to re-enter all the information and golfers. We have added a weather section that will appear on your dashboard when the trip is within 10 days. The trip leader has to make sure their golf trip location is entered and this is a very cool feature as we're always wondering what the weather's going to be like during the trip! And, we just added the ability to enter your handicap as an index number, which allows you to enter them with decimal points. This was a feature requested by several of our users.

Don't forget to visit our Travel affiliates on the website as they can assist you in creating and quoting your next golf vacation! Then you can track that golf vacation on MyGolfingTrip.com!

Lastly, MyGolfingTrip.com has teamed up with Scott Jessee of Swing Reminders to create a Golf Trips & Tips Podcast Show. This will be a bi-weekly show discussing the various golf trips we've been on, are planning to go on, golf tips from Scott, and much more. So, look for our new podcast to come out sometime in March 2009!

We are almost complete with our Photo Manager, which will allow golf trip organizers to add photos to their trip website. The photo manager is very easy to use and will allow you to organize the pictures into categories and select what pages of the site you want them on. There are selected pages on the website that allow you to place the photos on and one Photo page where all the photos can be see.

Look for this new feature to be up and running by March 1!!

MyGolfingTrip.com Website in Action

2008-02-04T11:10:00.000-08:00

The website is now up and running!! We have had some beta testers use the website and have knocked out some "bugs". We are also working on some pretty cool features for the site also. One is a dynamic picture admin page allowing you to upload and place pictures on your golf trip site. We are also working on an automated foursome creator that automatically creates your foursomes for you based on the number of golfers in your group and the number of tee times.

Currently, advertisement for the site has just been through word of mouth, but we are planning on getting the website more noticed through certain types of medium, such as the web, magazines, and podcasts.

Welcome

2007-08-03T14:08:00.000-07:00

My name is Ben Bleser and I am creating a website called MyGolfingTrip.com.

MyGolfingTrip.com is a website that allows you to organize and manage your golf trip. For those of you who have been a "group" leader for a golf trip, you know all the work and correspondence that takes place during the planning process -- Where does everyone want to go for the golf trip this year? Who is able to go? What dates will work for everyone? Just a small example of how the planning begins.

MyGolfingTrip.com provides your golf trip with it's own website. Once an account is setup by the group organizer, the process can begin. The organizer will have their own secure administration center site allowing them to setup the following features:

Setup Golfer Profiles
Invite Golfers to the trip so they can accept or reject the invitation
Setup Voting Polls to help make decisions for the trip
Enter Tee-time and Course information
Auto-create Foursomes based on the number of golfers on your trip
Setup the Golf Trip Itinerary
List details on Transportation, Accomodations, Playing Rules, and Directions
Allow Payments to paid via PayPal (organizer must have a PayPal account)
Automated Leaderboard based on scores entered
Message Board
Upload Pictures from your trip
