Josh Lowensteiner has arranged the hotel for the Southern per the post below:

PGCA Hotel for the Southern SxS Event

Hello Friends,

The PGCA will again have the Hampton Inn in Sanford reserved for our group this year. The hotel has completed a total renovation and is sparkling new according to the GM.

Here are the details:

Hampton Inn Sanford
1900 S. Horner Drive
Phone - (919) 775-2000
Rate- $140/night

Please call the hotel to reserve your rooms. The room rate was a tad higher than previous years due to the renovation. In a year when hotels have been hit so hard, I understand the hotel raising the rate and hope you will, too.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at this years event!

Thanks for all your replies. It's like I opened the gate at the lion house. I got an email from the new golf cart vendor but have not tried the email. If it was incorrect, I'm sure it will be corrected. I had forgotten that the property was sold.

Tell me about it Bill. I got a call from the cart vendor out of the blue yesterday myself. I advised them of their email address issue which they were not aware of so it may be fixed now. Seems they called just to assure me that my card would not be charged in the "off chance" the event did not take place.

When you shoot as many events as our crew does you DO NOT want to be walking!!

Our crew has rooms reserved since November-December. Worsley Carts called me back and is reserving my cart. After the 2020 disaster they will not be charging your CC until a month from the shoot. Last year they had to do all those CC refunds. That’s a royal PITA!! I spoke to Scott in the clubhouse and he said Bill & Mary we’re going to attend to greet everyone and yes, Ed Strickland is the new owner. Ed’s a good guy. Most of the attendees would have met him around the venue as he’s been the long time manager.
