Hog Neck: Exceptional Public Golf on the Eastern Shore

GIVEN A CHOICE, I PREFER to play on public courses where foursomes are put together by chance. I often play with guys (and gals) just off work, firemen and construction workers, accountants and school teachers. It is reassuring to come into a public course where the parking lot is half full of pickup trucks and not BMWs.
The problem with such a game plan, however, are the courses. The majority of them don't measure up against private clubs that are manicured and groomed by a seasoned superintendent and grounds crew.
