Growing up in a family that is both entrepreneurial and built on decades of fire and police service, it seems we were destined to start Firehouse Subs®. Of course we tried other things along the way to our American Dream – rock ’n’ roll, real estate, and even Christmas tree farming. But everything we experienced on our path led us to Firehouse Subs. Twenty years later, with more than 900 Firehouse Subs Restaurants, we’re convinced we’re doing something right. People come back when they’re treated 5/2/16 well and fed well. Turns out, people absolutely LOVE the same things we do – the best meats, cheeses, and toppings we can find. Take our Hook & Ladder® Sub for example, with Virginia honey ham, smoked turkey breast, and melted Monterey Jack. People come back again and again because, unlike other sub places, we steam our meats and cheeses, releasing a rush of flavors, then stuff a serving that’s way over code on one of our toasted private-recipe sub rolls. It’s a winning combination that satisfies ravenous appetites and the value-conscious alike. 11:11 AM Pinehurst Detailing Logos and pix of food-firehouse.pdf “The Superiors of Hand Car Wash” 2036 Juniper Lake Rd Next to Auto Werks Pinehurst, NC 11:11 AM © 2015 Firehouse Subs.

But 44 year old Jim Daunheimer felt only exhilaration as he contemplated his upcoming iron shot to the notorious “Island Green” at TPC Sawgrass. When, like Jim, you have endured lifethreatening combat missions like “Desert Storm” and “Iraqi Freedom,” a challenging pitch to a tiny green completely surrounded by water is not going to intimidate you very much. And when- unfortunately also like Jim- exposure to chemical warfare in Iraq has subsequently saddled you with inoperable brain cancer, you savor the life you have left. Their dinner conversation covered the plight of service disabled veterans and the PGA Tour’s and other foundations’ efforts to help veterans. The foursome have all been touched by the military service and service disabilities. Jim is suffering from service related brain cancer. Frank and Debbie’s daughter, an Iraq war veteran is service disabled and suffers from seizures. Rick’s son Justin lost his leg in an IED incident in Afghanistan as member of the 82nd Airborne and now tours the country as a motivational speaker. All at the table were humbled by the discussions of sacrifice and the monumental efforts on behalf of our nation’s veterans. So when as part of the PGA Tour’s “Birdies for the Brave” initiative, its Vice-President of Community Outreach John Flashner invited the Bronze Star recipient and guests of his choosing to a two day “PGA Tour Experience” at TPC on February 24th and 25th, Jim unhesitatingly accepted. On Thursday morning, led by Jonathan Williams, PGA, Assistant Golf Professional, TPC Sawgrass, the foursome were shown to their lockers, the gentlemen in the Tour Players Locker room, and Debbie in the guest locker room. In both locker rooms the foursome were all very surprised to see a locker bearing their name with a personalized brass plaque. After breakfast in the clubhouse and with a forecaddie bearing his name on his caddie bib, Jim teed it up with his group up on the famed Stadium Course. A stiff wind was blowing adding to the challenges of the Pete Dye design. On hole 17, Jim knocked it stiff to eight feet but his right to left birdie put just barely lipped out. None the less it was great two days for the foursome. On Wednesday February 24th Jim, his friend Rick Lansford, and his family members and Pinehurst Country Club Members Frank and Debbie Marois traveled to Ponte Verde Beach Florida for two unforgettable days. Their visit began with a video swing assessment by JP Guarneri, Senior Instructor, TOURAcademy, TPC Sawgrass and then dinner with PGA Tour Co-COO Edward Moorehouse and his wife Lee. 36 • Traditions Anywhere, Anytime Restaurants • Doctor’s Appointments • Local Service (910) 215-5655 • (910) 603-7954 We are available to handle all your transportation needs, including all area airports: Raleigh • Greensboro • Charlotte Atlanta • Fayetteville • Moore County www.pinehursttaxi.com Please Don’t Drink and Drive.

Actually, a series of bad shots. Dan Van Horn, an engineer by trade, one-time professional golfer and serial entrepreneur, wanted to enjoy an afternoon with his 8-yearold son Ben out on the golf course. But it turned out to be anything but enjoyable. Ben was having a terrible time getting the ball in the air or going in the right direction. There had to be a better way. That was the scene at a suburban golf course outside of Atlanta, Georgia in 1998– a scene no doubt played out over generations at golf courses all around the world. But this one particular round led to an epiphany for Van Horn. He reasoned that Ben’s golf development was impeded by poor equipment. For kids, clubs with less weight in the head along with a flatter lie angle would fit their swing better. He went home and removed some weight from the cut-down 5-wood Ben was using to test his theory. Ben’s next round showed immediate improvement. That one idea grew into a company – U.S. Kids Golf – which grew into a movement. Today, less than 20 years later, over one million young golfers have been impacted because Ben Van Horn struggled with his swing that fateful afternoon. Recognizing the Difference and the Value of Kids U.S. Kids Golf, both the LLC (mainly equipment) and the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation (which operates the Tournament Players Association (TPA) and the Coaches 40 • Traditions Institute), is now leading the world in youth golf – not only in products and programs, but in the emphasis that the golf industry must place on its newest generation of players. “In virtually every field, people understood that kids learned differently than adults. But quite honestly, those in the golf world were slow adapters,” Van Horn explains. “Cutting down dad’s clubs and putting a grip on the end seemed to be the obvious answer for many years – but it was a bad one. Who knows how many kids the game lost because we asked them to learn in such a difficult way. Sure, junior clubs had been around awhile, but U.S. Kids Golf was the first to go as far as we did to design clubs: in length, weight, and lie angles, specifically for children. And then, of course, to fit them by height and not age. We’ve helped fill that knowledge gap. That’s why we’ve been successful.” What seems so obvious now, however, wasn’t always met with universal agreement. “We’ve had our share of skeptics as we grew,” he acknowledges. “There were those that believed we shouldn’t change things up. I don’t know if they were doubting us as an organization or the capacity of young kids to participate in the larger golf community, but we’ve never let that slow us down. We were - and are - absolutely confident our audience and mission are vital to the future of golf.” “And that’s what we, organizationally, want as a culture. We are constantly looking to evolve and grow, to anticipate what will serve our community better, now and in the future.” Perhaps nothing exemplifies this mindset better than the over 900 tournaments that U.S. Kids Golf runs around the world. “They are successful, in large part, because they are different,” Van Horn explains. “We were the first to create ageappropriate yardages, so that young golfers could reasonably aspire to make pars and birdies. We not only allowed, but encouraged, parents – our Daddy Caddies – to be part of the tournaments. We welcome that family interaction and participation. And I can tell you, not everyone thought that was a good idea – to have parents inside the ropes. So we have guidelines and partnerships that help make it work. But in the end, it has worked, and worked well. I have stacks of letters from parents, grateful that some of their most cherished memories are the times they got to spend working as a team with their child at our tournaments. I love that.” Those tournaments culminate each year in the U.S. Kids Golf Teen World Championship and World Championship that take place right here in the Pinehurst region each summer. Over 2,000 kids from over 50 countries come to compete and enjoy time with friends and family. In 2015, the boys winner, Paul Chaplet, went on to win the Latin America Amateur Championship – earning a spot in the 2016 Masters. Many PGA Tour stars grew up playing in U.S. Kids Golf tournaments, including Patrick Reed, Justin Thomas, and Smylie Kauffman. LPGA stars like Lexi Thompson, Cheyenne Woods, and Ashlan Ramsey are past U.S. Kids Golf World Champions. Families matter at Longleaf Van Horn is understandably proud of the success of some of the most well-known U.S. Kids Golf alumni, but his passion is still making the game easier to learn for the new and undecided youngster. And it’s that goal, along with the same entrepreneurial mindset that allowed him to start U.S. Kids Golf, which is still driving the mission today. For example, the U.S Kids Golf Foundation recently purchased Longleaf Golf & Family Club in Southern Pines. The Bringing the World to Pinehurst “My background and passion is in creating and developing,” Van Horn explains. Traditions • 41 purchase is part of the foundation mission, putting into practice with the ideas and models for new concepts that would make golf a much more inclusive and welcoming game for all members of the family. Core to that strategy is Van Horn’s favorite principle – showing that properly scaling a course (increasing the number of tee complexes for appropriate yardages for all players) – will generate more enthusiasm to play for every level of golfer. Success at Longleaf is intended to inspire other golf courses to follow suit. Furthermore, the Foundation has renovated and upgraded the course in several areas, including expanding the range, putting in a 10,000 square foot practice green and a short game area. Also at Longleaf, the Foundation has started its first U.S. Kids Golf Academy, a learning institution designed to create effective programs and models (with future academies to be started around the country) that will inspire a new generation 42 • Traditions of youth to get involved in the game. “It all comes back to family,” Van Horn says. “I believe that golf is a way to create special family moments. If we can help facilitate that, everything else in golf will take care of itself.” The stated mission of U.S. Kids Golf reflects Van Horn’s commitment: “To help kids have fun learning the lifelong game of golf and to encourage family interaction that builds lasting memories.” Van Horn notes that providing equipment, resourcing coaches and hosting tournaments are just more ways to serve that mission. Making great memories together Today, Ben Van Horn is an attorney in Miami Beach, who still loves to get out and play golf. The cut down/modified 5-wood is in a display case in the lobby of the Norcross, Georgia headquarters of U.S. Kids Golf. A reader can go on any number of social media platforms to see thousands of photos and videos sharing the impact that U.S. Kids Golf is having around the world. But the singular passion and goal of the founder has not changed from the first day. “I have responsibilities as a leader of the company,” Van Horn acknowledges. “But I’m still motivated by how much more fun golf was for Ben when we first modified that club. If every kid could feel that joy, golf would be in a better place, families would spend more time together on the course, and we’d all have some great memories to cherish. What’s better than that?” Traditions • 43 No. 10 - Best Courses in North Carolina, 2012 - GolfWeek No. 1 - "North Carolina's Best Courses, 2011," - Business North Carolina – Don D’Apolito What a glorious ten days celebrating my 75th birthday and ending with a memorable round at Southern Pines Country Club.

Bad backs, sciatica, hip and knee replacements are all part of the “Golden Years”. As our handicaps go up, we try to get back our lost distance. The body swings become more arms and hands as we try to “muscle” the ball to where we hope to hit it. Look where your drives end this year. If you don’t improve flexibility and strengthen your core, you will hope to hit it next year as far as you are hitting it now. At this time the equipment and balls are letting the good seniors in good physical shape hit the ball farther than they did years ago. What can you do to get back distance? You can begin by following a stretching regimen (if your physician gives the ok), core development, if you can lose the gut, and if necessary, some weight. Go to a PGA Professional for a fitting which usually takes a good hour or more for a driver shaft. A good fitter can build 48 • Traditions you a shaft to fit the driver head of your choice. If you are serious, and I mean extremely serious about your game and equipment and willing to shell out several hundred dollars for a shaft and fitting, it is well worth the investment. Yes, it’s an investment in your enjoyment of the game. Remember, stock shafts may or may not be the shaft for you. I have always had the driver shaft “pured” and frequency checked. This year I have added twenty yards (average) to my tee ball with a new fitted OBAN shaft. I’m not saying OBAN is a panacea for distance and control. There are numerous wonderful shafts you can use. Do some research and ask your PGA Professional what shaft may best suit your game and swing. Senior golfers, if you are willing and able to do strength training and stretching approved by your physician and able to spend a few hundred bucks, you too can add distance and control to your golf shots.

One of the best ways to gain fuel economy, to prevent costly repairs down the road and to ensure safe and reliable performance is proper maintenance. Worn spark plugs, dragging brakes, low transmission fluid, or your transmission not going into high gear can all reduce fuel economy. CALL 910-692-9007. OIL: Change your oil at regular service intervals. Maintaining proper oil and coolant levels can help ensure a long life for your engine. BRAKES: Screeching or grinding sounds from your brakes can mean trouble. Make an appointment with us to get a brake inspection. Tires: When your tire treads are worn, your car may not respond properly in adverse conditions like rain. Worn treads can also make other parts of your car wear prematurely and affect fuel economy.

The members decided to entertain the possibility of selling the property, that’s where Larry Gallaway and Jay Iskow come in. The property was sold in January of 2015 and that is when Mr. Gallaway, the principle owner and Jay Iskow, the Managing Partner set about changing the perception and accessibility of the newly formed 7 Lakes Golf Club. The first task undertaken was to change the branding of the 7 Lakes Golf Club from a private inaccessible venue, to a “Value Added” Semi-Private Club that the daily fee player and the local golf wholesalers would embrace. The “All Inclusive” concept that worked so well for the owners in Myrtle Beach was implemented at 7 Lakes Golf Club. The program provides Breakfast, Lunch & 2-Premium draft beers included in every full price green fee sold. In addition, a number of innovative programs were launched to benefit the local players. 7 Lakes Loyalty Program provides local residents with discounted “All Inclusive” golf year round. The program also has predetermined rewards for playing a specific number of rounds. Rewards include hats, shirts, golf balls and golf bags. One of the final programs that has been rolled out to our local residents is the Players Development Club. This program provides for unlimited practice facility access including all range balls. It also allows participants to play in the afternoon (times vary with the season) FREE!! 7 Lakes Golf Club is a golfing experience that should not be missed when visiting the Sandhills.
