Membership Manager, Gina Brooker, and Membership Sales Manager, Dan Purdy discuss the many changes, opportunities, amenities and levels of membership being offered at the Pinehurst Country Club.
PCC has evolved and made the club responsive to the changing demographics of Moore County.
Whether you knew the club in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s or post 2000, the Pinehurst Country Club continues to be one of the strongest focal points and viable social networks that Moore County has to offer to all generations.
Lumberton, N.C. was especially hard hit from Hurricane Matthew and to this day most are still without their homes, running water or electricity. The
area is in dire need of all supplies from drinking water to band aids to medicine.
Steven Graves of Red Door Real Estate Group is a native of the Lumberton area and has family still living there. His heartfelt word pictures helps
bring to life the devastation this storm brought. Along with Melissa Holt of BB& T, an affiliate member of the Realtor Association and Rachel
Herndandez of Keller Williams, these three passionate and committed individuals outline the effort the Mid Carolina Regional Association of
Realtors is making to help our nearby neighbors.
Eight years ago, David Michael Wolff took a chance against all odds. He bucked the grain & advice of seasoned professionals and left NYC to move to
Moore County to start his own orchestra and raise his family.
Eight years later over 3500 Moore County students from all walks of life have reaped the benefit and inspiration of his mentoring and tutelage.

Oct. 22nd at the Owens Auditorium.
David Michael Wolff reflects on his tenure in Moore County and the revelations are compelling.
Joan O’Brien and Katie-Rose Tuttle join us on this podcast to discuss a unique topic – brain tumors. Joan is a local Pinehurst resident who lost her husband to a brain tumor in 2015. Katie-Rose Tuttle is the Regional Director of Development for the National Brain Tumor Society. Together, they are hosting a garden party on October 21 (6-9pm) and a walk on October 22 (9am) to raise funds for the National Brain Tumor Society. More information can be found at www.braintumorwalk.org/pinehurst
There are over 120 types of brain tumors and only 4 drugs and one device available to treat them. There is no cure. Though it may seem like an obscure disease, nearly 4,000 people will be diagnosed with a brain tumor in North and South Carolina this year. In the United States, 700,000 people are living with a brain tumor and 77,000 will be diagnosed this year. The rate of diagnosis is increasing every year. The most startling fact is the brain tumors have now taken the number one spot as the leading cancer killer of kids. The reason this disease is so deadly is that more research needs to be done to find better treatments. More research means more money and it’s not financially prudent for drug companies to invest in such a small demographic. That’s where the National Brain Tumor Society comes in to fund the research gap. Events held by NBTS around the country raise that critically needed funding.
That funding could reveal a treatment that could save thousands of lives, like Steve O’Brien, Joan O’Brien’s late husband or Kate Ulrich, a young, vibrant local woman at the end stages of her battle with an Anaplastic Astrocytoma. Joan and her family and Kate and her family have rallied together to fight this terrible disease by raising funds so that one day others won’t have to endure such a terrible diagnosis. We hope you will join Kate, Joan and others in our community to fight back against brain tumors.
