I think you could re-create this using the Nick’s Font you found and Jim Spiece’s Quaint Gothic, which would only need some serifs removed from the A, N and R. With a bit of clipping of Nick’s G, I think you’d have it.

Bottom line: Carolina Golf could be a customized mix of these two fonts.

Looks like Paul Lloyd’s Brassett was used.

So it does! Good spot (once again) Mike. Even better than knowing how to fake a font, is knowing where the actual font can be found.

There must be a principle like Ockham’s Razor when it comes to fonts too — the simplest explanation is almost always the right one.
