Extending a work trip and will have (3) days (F, SA and SU) to play golf in the Pinehurst area in mid August. I expect it will be warm / hot / steamy. I am NOT staying at the Pinehurst resort. I have booked a very early morning time already at Tobacco Road and my current plan is to book Southern Pines and Pine Needles once those tee times can be booked. Open to other suggestions for golf and very open to places to eat and drink ( I do like beer), historical sites to see... A little back ground - I am a 7-9 hdcp, and very capable traveler. Thanks in advance, can't wait to hear suggestions.

I recently bough a townhome here and received a notice that I need to have the annual backflow assembly test down. Can anyone recommend a company for this and about what does this test cost? Thanks.
