By KATHARINE BOYD
There’s a saying among the ad
vertising people that if you want
to attract the customers it’s a good
idea to make things a little hard
to obtain. Such as, for instances,
access to Pinehurst?
Did the Tufts brothers have
that in mind when they worked
out the entrances to their lovely
village? Most likely not. Most
likely they just wanted to be sure
that people slowed down and
didn’t come roaring into town.
Perhaps, also entering into the
planning at least of that in-and-
out turn at the eastern access,
was the secret hope that only -
those worthwhile people who
really wanted terribly to come
to Pinehurst would make it. The
trouble With that theory is that
almost everybody wants terribly
to come to Pinehurst.
Personally, that wonderful wig-
gly turn always delights us. It’s
such fun to have this country’s
Golf Capital, and one of its big
gest and best resorts deliberately
making itself hard to find, and
hard to get into when you do
