It’s time for another Emergency 9 golf-travel pop quiz. And in “Talking GolfGetaways” Episode 30, hosts Mitch Laurance and Darin Bunch fire away at Mark Stewart, co-owner of North Carolina’s Tobacco Road golf course, ranked on many publications’ Top 100 lists.
Mark began playing at an early age and possesses a lifetime of connection to the game. His answers reflect a sense of gratitude and enjoyment of both golfing and traveling to uncover the next great destination.
Scotland and Myrtle Beach rank atop his favorites. And bucket-listers such as Nebraska, St. George (Utah) and the much-heralded nine-hole track at Sweetens Cove in Tennessee also find their way into one of his answers.
The Lodge at Pebble Beach, a Ryder Cup bacon baguette at Celtic Manor, people who share similar experiences, and good rain pants (and a flask!) are hints of other important Mark Stewart considerations.
And Mark’s handicap, favorite playing partners, and a Pinehurst-area course “Everyone Should Know About” round out his fun, thoughtful Emergency 9 — an enjoyable peek into the golf soul of one of the truly terrific people in the game, a man who shares not only his golf passion but also one of the country’s most exciting and memorable places to play: Tobacco Road.
