Zag’s “Day Trip”: a Carolinas golf travel series

Thursday, October 8, 2026 · Morning Tee Sheet research

About this series. Golf creator Zag (@leftyzag) — 35mm photography, golden-age architecture, North Carolina — announced “Day Trip” in a post on X on Oct. 8, 2026. Rather than wait for full funding, he’s starting local: great golf within a few hours of Wilmington, NC, filmed as 25–30 minute episodes.

  1. The format

    One film a month. Each episode follows the same outline: Departure → Journey → Place → Golf → Home. At that pace, his current course list is nearly three years of episodes.

  2. Pilot episode: Pinehurst No. 3

    The series opens at Pinehurst No. 3 — the first of eight Pinehurst-area courses on his list, alongside No. 2, No. 4, No. 10, No. 11, MP, SP and PN.

  3. The course list

    Triangle: RCC, CCC, Hope Valley (with Charlie), OC, Finley, Lonnie Pool
    Triad: GCC, OTC, Sedgefield, Forsyth
    South Carolina: Camden CC, Broom, OB, TF, Candyroot (new); Aiken GC
    Myrtle Beach: Dunes Club, Caledonia, True Blue
    Charleston: Muni, Ocean Course, Country Club, Yeamans
    Bald Head Island (via boat from WB)

    Zag asked his audience for additions — the list is open.
