Mid-Pines Mischief: Golf, Bourbon, and the Redneck Rota

Two friends recount a day in Pinehurst — lunch at the Track, a tour of renovated clubs, and a round at beloved Mid Pines — mixing golf stories, memories, and golf-writing anecdotes about a Golfer’s Journal piece on "Oscar W. Butosh and the Redneck Rota."

Along the way they swap humorous tales about reading audiobooks, backyard rainstorms, bourbon and local food finds, debate new weight-loss drugs, and riff on baseball, college tournaments, and historic taverns. It’s a conversational, down-home episode about golf, friendship, and regional culture.
