Grove Park Inn

Yesterday the Garbage Minutes Guys got away from the stresses of running a high powered sports blog and played a quick round at the Grove Park Inn Golf Course in Asheville, NC.  Great little historic spot in the mountains of Western NC.  Pillars of industry, politics and American history such as Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Thomas Edison, and presidents ranging from Taft to FDR to Eisenhower to Obama have stayed there.  Best of all, they have a fine golf course, originally built in 1899 and restored in 1924 by the legendary Donald Ross.  Fun course to play and worth the visit if you're in driving through on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
