    Another Ashevillian!

    That makes at least three of us in Asheville proper and several more within spittin' distance! And you're right...walking about in downtown Asheville in a kilt is not going to draw much attention.

    Welcome - it's a great place here. It's nice to see NC people as I spent 3 years there living in either Cary or Pinehurst. I'd like to go back for retirement but can't decide whether it should be Pinehurst or somewhere on the coast. Make sure to wear those kilts on the golf course too.

    Thanks for the welcome!

    ckelly327 - the first round of kilted golf that I ever played was at The Pit in Pinehurst. Played poorly, as usual, but I was comfortable!

    Barclay,

    Welcome...wearing a kilt at age 12. Major Kudos to you. It took me almost 30 more years before I could wear a kilt.

    Played the Pit many times but never got the hang of it. Had too much of a "power fade" off the tee at the time and had problems finding the fairways. Try a couple of the Donald Ross courses towards Southern Pines. They are very fair and not overly tricked up - plus they are kilt friendly places.

    Barclay,

    A hearty welcome to you. I live just a few miles south of you as well in the Lake Lure/ Ruffton (Rutherfordton) area.
    Always good to see another Carolinian join the forum.
    I see you have been to the Triangle games.
    What other games do you make it too?
    Greenville Games are next then hopefully Friday and Sunday at
    Grandfather. We usually camp but work is
    going to make that impossible this year.


    There is also a good chance I might make it to the
    ETH show next Friday at Jack of Woods.

    Triad and Loch Norman are my family's gatherings, but if I can, I try to make the Greenville games, Blue Ridge games in Blue Ridge, Ga, Stone Mountain games and, of course, the Foothills games here in Hendersonville to close the season - they are always the first weekend in November. Good games and nice crisp nip in the air to make the whiskey tasting that much more fun! LOL
    I really want to get to the Waxhaw games, too - maybe this will be the year for it. After PMing with HeathBar I may try to get to the Gatlinburg, TN games on the 20th of this month, too.

    I really need to expand my interests, don't I? LOL We are so lucky to have so many great games and festivals in our area, and I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame, and of course, always looking for an opportunity to listen to pipes and wear a kilt, I must go. LOL

    I, unfortunately, don't go to GMHG - I have a family obligation and it always coincides with GM the week after the fourth.


    There is also a good chance I might make it to the
    ETH show next Friday at Jack of Woods.
    I'm really looking forward to meeting everybody there!
