The Pinehurst Cure and the Road to the US Open is a stirring, heartfelt, and sweeping narrative story of how golf's greatest champions found magic on the hallowed fairways of the most celebrated golf course in America, Pinehurst No. 2—the site of the 2024 US Open.    The title comes from New York Times bestselling golf writer James Dodson, who wrote and narrates the story.    While living in the tiny golfing village of Pinehurst, North Carolina, Dodson discovered a phenomenon he calls “The Pinehurst Cure.” It's the place's particular magic to change the lives of people when they need it most, including some of the best golfers in the world, from Payne Stewart to Michelle Wie, Arnold Palmer to Ben Hogan, and Donald Ross and Harvie Ward, who Dodson calls “the greatest golfer most people have never heard of.”   But it's Dodson's personal stories that create a roadmap for this audio journey, with his own Pinehurst Cures leading the way.   Episode 2 will be released on Wednesday, June 19th.   Episode 3 will be released on Wednesday, June 26th.
