John Daly: Pinehurst Resort remains the Carolinas' sanctified grounds (but don't overlook National)
 Because of Payne Stewart's victory and his subsequent death, plus the bucolic setting, you sense a reverence at Pinehurst Resort. Actor Kevin Sorbo said Pinehurst seems like hallowed grounds. "It's almost second to religion." No golf trip to the Carolinas would be complete without playing one of the resort's seven courses.

Lakeview Golf Club in Blackshear, Ga. a good play for the money, even without the view
 Lakeview Golf Club near Waycross, Ga. is a good play and a good value for the money, but it does have its drawbacks. The layout is rather awkward, for example, with the distance between some holes unnecessarily long. Also, the signage could be better. But with the low green fees and friendly staff, this is a course I'd recommend, Tim McDonald writes.

Rarely do you find a putter that combines "futuristic" design with a "sleek" look, especially if that putter is a mallet. But the Sizemore SM-2 mallet does. As great as this putter looks, though, the thing that caught my attention was how the straight center shaft fits my eye, along with the almost uncanny distance control I suddenly developed with it.
The Slammer and Squire at the World Golf Village, designed by Bobby Weed with input from Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen, is not meant to challenge the WGV's marquee King and Bear course by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. But the course does an excellent job of combining playability with a layout that demands difficult shots.
