In what is very accurately called a grassroots effort, more than 1,000
tee times are up for public bid, giving recreational golfers in the
Carolinas a chance to play some elite private courses.

The foursome rounds - which can make great Father's Day or Mother's Day gifts - are being auctioned at Rounds4Research.com.

The purpose of the April 7-21 auction is to raise money for golf
turfgrass research, which includes outstanding research programs at
N.C. State and Clemson, according to an event news release.
