That makes at least three of us in Asheville proper and several more within spittin' distance! And you're right...walking about in downtown Asheville in a kilt is not going to draw much attention.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome - it's a great place here. It's nice to see NC people as I spent 3 years there living in either Cary or Pinehurst. I'd like to go back for retirement but can't decide whether it should be Pinehurst or somewhere on the coast. Make sure to wear those kilts on the golf course too.

Thanks for the welcome!

ckelly327 - the first round of kilted golf that I ever played was at The Pit in Pinehurst. Played poorly, as usual, but I was comfortable!

Barclay,

Welcome...wearing a kilt at age 12. Major Kudos to you. It took me almost 30 more years before I could wear a kilt.

Played the Pit many times but never got the hang of it. Had too much of a "power fade" off the tee at the time and had problems finding the fairways. Try a couple of the Donald Ross courses towards Southern Pines. They are very fair and not overly tricked up - plus they are kilt friendly places.
