bigger airports like Charlotte or Raleigh would be good for Pinehurst. If it's Myrtle Beach you would have some options to connect via New York (including Newark), Atlanta, Chicago among others. PH is about a 2 hour drive from Charlotte, or a 1 hour drive from Raleigh. I feel like I remember seeing Delta having direct flights to London from Raleigh, but it's been a little while since I looked.
EDIT: To answer you're question, it's over 3 hour drive to PH from Ashville

Layover in Stockholm, Helsinki, New York and Charlotte for a swift 20 hour experience to myrtle beach.

Layover in Stockholm, Helsinki, New York and Charlotte for a swift 20 hour experience to myrtle beach. Easiest for you if it's PH, is to go Stockholm-London-Raleigh then drive 1 hour. Still long trip for sure.

This is truly awesome! Superb idea, Tim Doyley SmilingGoats and others planning this out and getting it set up. Don't golf, but will really enjoy reading about this during the buildup and then the epic tales from the event itself.

mrooola Asheville would definitely not be the best. As others have said, I would think Charlotte is your go-to - busy airport, one that I have to connect through 80% of the time just when I fly up and down the east coast. Not to mention it's geographically closer than Asheville, which sets in the western most part of NC. Though if you fly into Asheville, I guess I could stop through on I-40 and pick you up for the looooong drive to the course

Layover in Stockholm, Helsinki, New York and Charlotte for a swift 20 hour experience to myrtle beach. Been to Charlotte a couple of times for work, it’s a smooth airport. And the drive to Pinehurst is not that bad. Take the train to Stockholm, then we get the same flight - 3000SEK with Finnair - and then rent a car in Charlotte. If there are any more Euros going they can get in on the car. This is starting to look plausible, 2900 SEK for the flight is cheap. Just need to convince the wife....

I have enough vacation days for a bunch of these trips

My wife is disturbingly on board with this. Even if he is a busy man, hope @griff can make it out.

Too bad I don't like golf or meeting new people or travelling south for a holiday. Hope it works out and everyone has a good time.
