Ten days from today the practice rounds begin at Pinehurst #2 for this year's U.S. Open.

As you all know who have been following us here at Open Doors for the Open we have been building up to ministerial outreach during the US Open in the village of Pinehurst NC.

Last weekend we visited Pinehurst to coordinate final arrangements and calendars/schedules with Jim Schneider and Pastor John Jacobs at the Village Chapel.  We started out with a great breakfast at the Infamous Track Restaurant and rubbed elbows with the local equestrian crowd.  Our discussions were mainly about the history of Pinehurst and the Village Chapel as well as further plans for the overall visit for the next two days.

We, then, moved over to the Village Chapel to walk through the activities that Jim had coordinated and presented the speaker schedule he had accumulated up to that point.  It's pretty interesting.  We have the Governor of North Carolina, Pat McRory, verified for Monday, June 9th, 2014 as well as a few others.  We still trying to lock in Webb Simpson or one of his friends, Dave Marr, Golf Channel Analyst, and a couple of promised Tour Players, Mindy Joe Furby, a delightful singer with an incredible testimony and mission focus as well as, local favorite and Tee Time radio golf show host, Lee Fleisher from a few Talk Radio 990, WEEB.  We expect to add others as we get closer to the Open.

Jim and I, then retired to the Village Chapel Care Cottage where all of us will be staying during the two U.S. Open periods, June 9 - 22.

The use of the Cottage really begins on June 5th when the MC Foundation students will be occupying it as they assist the USGA with employees as they set up and prepare the area for the big event.  Our helpers will begin arriving on June 7th and we will have numerous people coming and going as we fulfill our calling during this wonderful event.

As I explained in a few other areas of our site, the Cottage is not a cottage at all, in fact, it is a full blown 4,500 square foot home with bedrooms upstairs, an incredible sitting room, dining room, immense living area, kitchen, modern bathrooms, study with a huge conference table and a recreation area in the downstairs that used to serve as a day-care facility.  The only thing missing are showers, but, Jim committed early on to rent a modern portable shower facility that will be just outside the bottom floor doorway for easy access.  There's plenty of room and plenty of comfort for all.  I included a series of photographs from my stay there last week, below. 

So, we worked through the details of the two weeks activities in the Chapel and HAD to retire to the golf course for the bulk of the day for a round of golf, fellowship and food.  What a wonderful trip in preparation for our Open Doors for the Open.

Lastly, I took a video of the inside of the Cottage to make it even more real......  enjoy!!
