Donald Ross is well known for his influence on golf in the Sandhills and around the world.  But did you know about his famous "moonlight golf" match in 1906?  After sharing a meal in Pinehurst, Ross and Jack Jolly, a guest golf pro from New York, challenged one another to 18 holes under the stars.  Ross won the match with a score of 88 while using hickory-shafted clubs.
