Ohio Golf Journal August 2020

Don’t Be Afraid to Travel Even Now The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly changed our golf travel plans in 2020. Our journeys in the past 11 years have ranged from a couple days to over a month, with all of them involving travel by car. We found that golf vacations are very much doable in the Carolinas, just as they were when the pandemic impact hit full-force in mid- March. The destinations that we visited never shut down their courses but lodging and dining service were affected. By Len Ziehm Joy and I were able to visit a golf course for eight straight days of golf. We were able to hit three courses in Santee, one in Camden and one in Cheraw in South Carolina. Read about Santee and Cheraw State Park in the July issue of Ohio Golf Journal. Moving on to Pinehurst, North Carolina, we were able to play three more courses with the driving ranges and putting greens in full operation. Tee times were standard and plenty of players took advantage.
