Golf is a very popular sport in North Carolina and especially in Greensboro. The above photo features someone studying a shot at the Sedgefield Country Club and shows how many people like to spend their weekends in Greensboro, even when it is cold and wintry outside. It is possible to play golf about ten months a year here and golfing at the Sedgefield Country Club is beautiful, even in wintertime. This country club opened its doors in 1926 and, over the decades, has played a leadership role in hosting great golf tournaments in North Carolina. In 1938, the Greater Greensboro Open, now the Wyndam Championship, was established there. This championship brings some of golf's most famous and accomplished players to Greensboro. If you know golf, you will recognize players visiting local establishments during tournaments.
While the Wyndam Tournament won't be until August, you will see golfers out perfecting their swing in just about any weather short of a snowstorm. Speaking of snowstorms, by the looks of the empty bread and milk shelves at local grocery stores, a snowstorm appears to be brewing! You have been "fore" warned. Stay warm!
Here golf pretty much ends by the beginning of November and won't be seen again until the middle of April.
