Michael Croley | (TNS) Bloomberg News In the old days of 2016, when golfers visited the Dormie Club in West End, North Carolina — 15 minutes from the hotbed of American golf, Pinehurst — they were greeted by a small, single-wide trailer and a rugged pine straw parking lot.

A gate has been installed at the club’s entrance and a long driveway leads to a grand turnaround that sweeps you past a new modern clubhouse that’s all right angles, with floor-to-ceiling glass. Seconds after you exit your car, valets are zipping up in golf carts, taking your name, then your bags, handing you keys to your own golf cart, and then zipping off to drop your luggage in the four-bedroom cottage where you’ll stay. A short walk past an expansive putting green you’ll find the pro shop — and then you’ll see the club’s most elegant feature: its golf course. The changes have all come about because Dormie Club was acquired in 2017 by the Dormie Network, a national group that owns seven private golf facilities from Nebraska to New Jersey. (“Dormie” is a word for being ahead in golf — the names were coincidences.) A key to the network’s success has been its ability to find clubs ripe for acquisition, with outstanding golf courses and existing on-site lodging or the room to build it, says Zach Peed, president of the company and its driving force. After investing in Arbor Links Golf Club in Nebraska City, Nebraska, in late 2015, Peed believed he saw an opening in the golf market: a new model of hospitality for traveling professionals who wanted a pure golf experience that eschewed the pools and pickleball courts of their home clubs. His clubs would become dream golf-only getaways for avid players and their pals. “Dormie Network’s concept was sparked by having played competitive golf in college, combined with an element of experiencing and understanding hospitality,” says Peed. “It made sense to blend the two to create golf trips that had more value than just playing golf. We want genuine hospitality to help create unforgettable memories and new friendships.” Part of that formula has been in the lodging strategy; in North Carolina, 15 four-bedroom cottages now are a short golf cart ride from the main clubhouse. In each, golfers all have their own king-size bed and en suite bathroom. A large common room is dominated by a flatscreen television along with a well-stocked bar and snacks. That ability to be both social, or tucked away in your room, extends to the expansive new clubhouse, where a high-ceilinged bar area with blond wood creates an inviting space for dining and drinking, and several hideaway rooms allow for more private diners with just your group. So far, their commitment to hospitality has been helping them expand in both membership and club usage in the increasingly competitive market for traveling golfers. Major players such as Bandon Dunes, Pinehurst Resort, and the Cabot Collection have created — or renovated — a new paradigm where golfers get dining and lodging that’s as showcase-worthy as the courses they play. Comfortable sheets and options beyond pub food aren’t luxuries anymore, but staples for many group trips. Dormie has answered that call by focusing on both the big details and the small ones, like having the dew wiped off each golf cart at dawn outside guest cottages before the day begins or having a tray of cocktails delivered to golfers as their final putt falls on the 18th green. These touches may seem over-the-top, but they stand out in a world where golf travel is increasingly popular — and expensive — after the pandemic lockdowns. Since 2020 there has been an explosion in participation in the sport, with new golfers picking up the game and avid golfers playing more: According to the National Golf Foundation, a record 531 million rounds were played in 2023, surpassing the high of 529 million set in 2021. Supreme Golf, a public golf booking website, reports in its latest analysis that the average cost of a tee time has increased to $49 in 2024 from $38 in 2019, a 30% increase. Those cost increases are also on par (pun intended) with the costs of private clubs and initiation fees during that same period, where membership rosters that were dwindling pre-COVID now have waitlists 50 to 60 people deep, according to Jason Becker, co-founder and chief executive officer of Golf Life Navigators, which matches homebuyers with golf course communities. “There’s been an absolute run on private golf. If we use southwest Florida as an example, where there are 158 golf communities, this time last November, only five had memberships available,” he said. That inability to find a club close to home has pushed avid golfers to look farther afield, choosing national memberships at clubs that require traveling, usually via plane, to play. Dormie has capitalized on this growing segment, offering two types of memberships: First, a national membership, where members pay an initiation fee and monthly dues just as they would at a local club, but instead of one club they have access to seven. The second option is a signature membership for companies, “which allows businesses to use our properties for entertainment needs and requires a multiyear commitment,” Peed says. The network also offers a limited number of regional memberships for those living within a certain distance of one of its clubs. Dormie Network declined to provide the cost of memberships or monthly dues and wouldn’t give membership numbers, but the clubs are structured to lodge roughly 60 golfers, max, on-site at any given property at any time. The total number of beds across the network’s portfolio of properties has increased from 84 in 2019 to 432 today. It saw a jump from 10,000 room nights in 2019 to 48,000 in 2023. This September, Dormie opened GrayBull in Maxwell, in Nebraska’s, Sandhills region. Dormie Network tabbed David McLay Kidd to build the course, who also built the original course at Oregon’s famed Bandon Dunes. Kidd says of the property GrayBull sits on, “It’s like the Goldilocks thing: not too flat, not too steep. It’s kind of in a bowl that looks inwards, and there are no bad views.” That kind of remote destination, where the long-range views are only Mother Nature or other golf holes, is what drives many traveling golfers these days. Peed says his team leaned on years of knowledge from Dormie’s acquisitions as they built GrayBull, which started construction in 2022. “We had an understanding of how our members and guests use the clubs that allowed us to take a blank canvas in the Sandhills of Nebraska and combine all of the greatest aspects of each Dormie property into one.” ©2024 Bloomberg L.P.

Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayındır has been linked with a surprise move to Hull City when the January transfer window opens next month. City already have three senior goalkeepers on their books after a flurry of activity in the summer, but reports in the Turkish media claim the Tigers are keen on signing the Turkish international. Bayındır is a player Ilicali knows well, having been at Fenerbahce prior to his move to Old Trafford in September 2023, when he penned a four-year contract under Erik ten Hag's management, becoming the first Turkish player to sign for the Red Devils. Unfortunately for the 26-year-old, regular first-team opportunities have been hard to come by, with him playing second fiddle to Abdre Onana. He's been on the bench in all 15 of United's Premier League games so far, including Saturday's 3-2 home loss to Nottingham Forest, with his only appearances coming in the Carabao Cup against Barnsley and Leicester City. A report in Fotospor claims Acun Ilicali will target the United stopper in January, with him keen to move on from Old Trafford in the search of regular football, but Super Lig giants Galatasaray are also said to be keen on taking him back to Istanbul with Fernando Muslera set to return to Uruguay at the end of the season after 14 years with Fenerbahce's arch-rivals. City already have Ivor Pandur, who joined the club in January last year, along with Anthony Racioppi, a summer arrival from Young Boys in Switzerland and Carl Rushworth, plus younger goalkeepers Thimothee Lo-Tutala and Harvey Cartwright, but sources close to the Tigers' transfer dealings have told Hull Live there is no truth to those reports. Rushworth joined on a season-long loan from Brighton and Hove Albion, but has not made an appearance yet having picked up a serious ankle injury, though it's hoped he could be back towards the end of the month, while Racioppi's sole outing came in the Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday in August.

The team said Thursday that additional exams revealed enough damage to keep Lamb off the field Sunday at Philadelphia and in the final game at home against Washington. The team said surgery was not expected to be required. Dallas was eliminated from playoff contention a few hours before last weekend’s 26-24 victory over Tampa Bay. The decision on Lamb means the Cowboys will finish the regular season with at least five former Pro Bowlers on injured reserve. Among the others are quarterback Dak Prescott, who was limited to eight games before a season-ending hamstring tear, and right guard Zack Martin. The seven-time All-Pro made it through 10 games before deciding on season-ending ankle surgery. Lamb initially injured his right shoulder when it hit the turf hard twice in a 27-21 loss at Atlanta on Nov. 3. He kept playing and had at least 100 yards in each of his last two games — both victories — before getting shut down. The 25-year-old Lamb sat out the entire offseason and preseason in a contract dispute. The holdout finally ended with a $136 million, four-year extension in late August, but neither the Cowboys nor their star receiver could get that production going again this season. Dallas (7-8) is missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020, Lamb’s rookie year. Lamb finishes the season with 101 catches for 1,194 yards and six TDs. Wednesday’s doubleheader on Netflix set records as the most-streamed NFL games in U.S. history, with numbers nearly five times more than the NBA. The Baltimore Ravens’ 31-2 victory over the Houston Texans averaged 24.3 million while Kansas City’s 29-10 win at Pittsburgh averaged 24.1 according to early viewer figures released by Nielsen on Thursday. Nielsen also said there were 65 million U.S. viewers who tuned in for at least one minute of one of the two games. Both NFL games surpassed the previous mark of 23 million for last season’s AFC wild-card game between the Miami Dolphins and Chiefs on Peacock. The viewer figures include the audience on Netflix, mobile viewership on NFL+ and those who tuned in on CBS stations in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Baltimore and Houston. The Seattle Seahawks placed running back Kenneth Walker III on injured reserve before their game against the Chicago Bears on Thursday because of an ankle injury. Walker hurt his ankle in last week’s loss to Minnesota and left that game after sitting out the previous two because of a calf problem. He also missed two weeks in September with an oblique issue. Walker ran for 573 yards and seven touchdowns on 153 carries. The Detroit Lions are bringing back Teddy Bridgewater to give the team a veteran backup quarterback for their playoff run. Coach Dan Campbell said Thursday that the team signed Bridgewater as another backup with second-year player Hendon Hooker behind starter Jared Goff. The Lions have clinched a playoff spot and can earn the top seed in the NFC with two more wins. Bridgewater, who was the backup in Detroit for the 2023 season, spent the fall coaching at his high school alma mater, leading Miami Northwestern High to the Florida Class 3A state title. Hooker has played in three games this season, completing 6 of 9 passes for 62 yards. San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan expressed confidence in second-year kicker Jake Moody on Thursday, attributing some of the struggles to a high ankle sprain he suffered in his kicking leg earlier in the season. Moody, a third-round draft pick in 2023, missed his sixth field goal in the past seven games last week, leading to questions about whether the 49ers will need to replace him or at least bring in competition for next season. “I still feel the same about him, that I believe he is going to be our guy,” Shanahan said. Cornerback Riley Moss is “good to go” for the Denver Broncos’ crucial game at Cincinnati on Saturday. “He’s doing good,” coach Sean Payton said Thursday. “He’ll be ready to go.” The Broncos (9-6), who would end their eight-year playoff drought with a win or a tie against the Bengals (7-8), have sorely missed the second-year pro from Iowa since he sprained an MCL against Las Vegas in Week 12. The Broncos allowed 26.3 points per game during his absence. With Moss in the lineup opposite superstar Patrick Surtain II, Denver gave up just 16.8 points per game. The Chargers could get their leading rusher back Saturday against New England as running back J.K. Dobbins was a full participant in practice Thursday. The running back missed four games while on injured reserve because of a knee injury and is listed as questionable. He would give the Chargers a much-needed boost just as fellow running back Gus Edwards (ankle) was ruled out for the game. BRIEFLY JETS: Receiver Davante Adams sat out practice Thursday with a hip ailment that makes his status for the game Sunday at Buffalo uncertain. EAGLES: Dealing with injuries to both quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett, Philadelphia signed Ian Book to its practice squad. It’s unclear if he’ll be elevated to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. VIKINGS: Minnesota’s defense appears set to return three players — safety Harrison Smith (foot), linebacker Ivan Pace Jr.(hamstring), and defensive tackle Jalen Redmond (concussion) — for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers after all three practiced fully Thursday. Pace, who has missed the past four games, appears in line to be activated from injured reserve. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
During the lead-up to - and on - Christmas Day, a meal without wine is often considered breakfast. Tis the season. Winter is perhaps my favourite time of year for several reasons. The dark nights, the miserable weather and the excuse to have a tipple here and there. You can stick your G&T summers. Log fires, lamb shanks and lots of fun. What can make this even better? A red wine accompaniment. Awh stop you guys (seriously carry on) https://t.co/1E9An1JNiZ But as I'm sure you're all aware, red wine doesn't come cheap, especially when you're stocking up for a period such as Christmas, so which supermarket should you head to? According to finedininglovers.com , these are the most popular red wines in the world: Malbec is by far my favourite red wine and my go-to when browsing in supermarkets. That said, I did have an incredible experience in Scotland that made me question this choice. During a trip to Loch Lomond I was treated to a bottle of Barolo in a restaurant (I won't say how much) and it defied all expectations. Needing to be on my best behaviour, I drank it slow and sensibly and it was a heavenly experience . Although I've since seen bottles of Barolo being sold in Tesco, you're talking around £25/£30 for a bottle. So that experience will likely remain a one-off, for now. However, can you get a decent bottle of red for a fraction of the price? Well being the martyr that I am, I went and found that out for you last Christmas. I went to Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, Asda and my nearest Co-Op to see if any of the big names could offer up a decent bottle for a good price. I've always wanted to go to a wine tasting in southern France or some similarly fancy vineyard, so instead of diving into the wine straight away, I had someone mix the bottles up and pour. Instead of a lounger in Napa Valley, I was in a kitchen in North Wales, work with what you're given. With five goblets of goodness in front of me, I conducted my first-ever blind wine tasting. Could I pick out my favourite? The Malbec? (In order right to left) Co-Op, Asda, Tesco, Lidl, Aldi red wines (Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) At the time of writing, it was the cheapest bottle of red I could find at the time in Tesco and it was actually £5.75, but £5 with a Clubcard. I was surprised as I swear Tesco sell cheaper wines. If you don't have a Clubcard, this is the most expensive 'cheap' red wine that you can get in the supermarket. It was the first wine I tasted and things got off to an okay start. Despite not having a tonne of flavour, watery if anything, it will do when all else has run dry and you're too drunk to care. Better yet, use/save some for cooking. 6/10 Another Merlot, this time from Tesco's main rival, Asda. However, this one didn't have a flat bottom. Similar to their closest competitor this wine was light-bodied, plain and not that exciting but for £4.95 you can't expect the world. It was good value that's for sure. Again if you leave this bottle till last, you won't be too fussed. 6/10 Avoid at all costs. My initial notes were "This tastes like ****", but it was actually a hell of a lot worse than that. I'm not sure what process they used to make this 'South African Red', however, I assume they used a can of Special Brew as an ashtray and then left it in the sun for a week. I think that was the flavour they were going for and by god they achieved it. Foul. 0/10. It's a hard life, isn't it? (Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) This offering from Lidl was the first wine (let's forget Co-Op) to provide me with some decent fruity flavour. Not overpowering but it had a nice rich taste to it. For £4.88 (at the time of writing) this is a steal and will go well with any beef dish. On the palate, it felt smooth. 7/10 Did I call it? Absolutely I did. The best wine by far that you can sense from the very first taste. It was rich, velvety and felt full-bodied to me which is how I like them. Forget saving it till last, I challenge anyone to say this isn't a decent wine that doesn't belong on the dinner table. Aldi have done themselves proud here by selling the cheapest and best wine. Looking for decent cheap wine? It's simple, head to the cheapest supermarkets. Also, drink responsibly. 8/10None
