Things we did, outside of golf~
*Ate at Olde Mohawk, Barcelona, and Schmidts (creme puffs only) in German Village;
*Stopped at Tom's Ice Cream Bowl in Zanesville;
*Purchased a book found only at ZCC, titled "Searching For Donald Ross," by ZCC member Mike Bennett. We played with Bennett, and KPL chatted with him for 4+ hours about the book. What does a membership do, when an investigator uncovers evidence regarding its purported Donald J. Ross, Jr. lineage? You can call ZCC and ask them to ship you a copy of the book. It's about $65 total with tax. Hardcover and well written. Coffee-Table size.
Anyway, I don't fill up GCA threads anymore with photography. You can find my images on Instagram. Just like on GCA, you can lurk on Instagram. You don't have to post anything, but you can follow everyone. My Instagram handle is @buffalogolfer and there's plenty to see there.
