Friday Five: This Friday is coming in HOT!
If you are starting to think it is almost time for fall and pumpkin spice lattes, you are sadly mistaken, my friend. There are still 90 days left of summer! In North Carolina terminology this means we are in the “Hell’s Front Porch” part of summer. However, don’t fret! Raleigh has a lot of indoor activities to help you beat the heat this weekend. Now, without further ado, here is your Friday Five!
But first…
Since it has been hot as all get out, maintaining a weekly golfing routine can prove to be quite a challenge. Yet, fear not, for those enthusiastic golfers, I have the remedy: Dogwood Country Club. Boasting indoor simulators and golf courses, you now possess the flexibility to refine your swing during the dog days of summer. Don’t miss out on your chance to snag a $50 gift card to Dogwood—the perfect opportunity to enhance your golfing experience!
