36 minutes for me…right on the edge (with 2 kids). 2 hours of total time for an hour practice session at a really good facility is a really nice draw.

Headed out to Dublin / Columbus for the Memorial & Zoo trip for the next few days. Does anyone have any restaurant suggestions or tips for the Memorial?

There are going to be people with better recommendations than me. Food wise if you head down Frantz Road I personally like the Rail for nice burgers and Enricos for pizza

Thanks Joe! Had an awesome weekend despite the weather trying it’s best to make things difficult.
Got a round in at the Asheville Muni on Friday… Old Donnie Ross routing and bones under years and years of city course maintenance/management/budget. Undergoing a 3M reno and the new greens are FIRM. Still has a long way to go but it’s hard to find a better course for $45. Def recommend it for anyone that’s down that way.

Open to mostly anything that is kid friendly that’s not outrageously priced. The Rail has been suggested so far which looks pretty good based on ratings.

Rail is solid- If you like Asian/Chinese food, Sesame Sea is tasty. Dublin Village Tavern is another good option, but you gotta go into downtown Dublin, and that could be a shit show.
Head to Forefest over at Bridge Park Friday/Saturday night. Lots of activities, live music, tons of restaurants.

From the Zoo, it’s a 5 minute drive east into Powell where there are a few nice little spots. Liberty Tavern, Local Roots, Crafthouse #5 and Oishii Japanese Bistro are all within 100 yards of each other. Park behind Liberty Tavern if you are going to any one of these places.
Gallo’s Tap House, Koble and Pablo’s Havana Cafe (not a great sit-down place but incredible Cuban Sandwiches) are all right there too.
All are good food and family friendly, we go with our kids all the time. It also heads away from Dublin so it might be a little easier to get a seat.

You mention Powell, but not Nocterra?

I’m very curious what the logic is for players deciding between Columbus and Springfield. Looking at the fields, it seems like Springfield is an easier route unless the field sizes/number of qualifiers varies drastically.

Exactly the your last point, Columbus usually has 12 or so spots and Springfield has had 6 or 7 i think, i may be off on that. To my knowledge you can put your preference of site on your application but it’s not a guarantee. Some of the really small fields will have 2 or 3 spots up for grabs

Even though kids are allowed there, I wouldn’t call it kid friendly. I love the beer and Ray’s Ray’s is great. I just didn’t see it fitting into what he wanted.
I love a Southern Terminus with Jalepenos as a garnish though…. 1 turns into 10 real quick
