To my surprise we’ve run into a lot of discrimination here in Columbia, SC. We had the lease details all worked out at one place but the anchor tenant is a 45,000 sq. ft. women’s gym and they didn’t want us next to them. Another great location is owned by eight family members and they wouldn’t allow […]

The tournament plans may have to be put on hold. We are thinking of opening a pool room. There just isn’t a decent one in Columbia. I just practice at home and do all my serious playing on the road. We’ve been out looking at buildings so wish us good luck. So much to think […]
