| Golf Vacations Even Non-Golfers Will Enjoy: Southeastern United States -A book reviewer from Ohio states, "If you have one or more non-golfers in the family, it's important to plan your golf vacation for where there are things for the others to do while you're on the course. Our family had been planning a Myrtle Beach vacation and had found lots of "general" info on the web, but this book speaks directly to golfers with non-golfers in the group, so it was tremendously helpful to us. We're already planning a trip to Florida for next summer, based on this book's recommendations." Includes vacation ideas for Florida. |

Inverness
| Taking its name from the
Stumpknocker, a fish that has loon been a part of Southern fishing lore,
Stumpknockers on the River in Inverness is one of those great places in
Florida for seafood. I'll admit that from the outside it doesn't seem to be
much, but the food served is great. You can find everything from Gator
Nuggets for an appetizer to fresh baked pies for desert. In between there is
everything from catfish to shellfish to great ocean and freshwater seafood.
And, if you are not into seafood, you can enjoy steaks, including their
famous "Gator Steak." Stumpknockers is located on west Main Street in
Inverness, and at their river location on SW State Road 200 at the Withiacoochee River Bridge between Inverness and Ocala. Call 352.726.2212 or Inverness and 352.854.2288 for the river location. Jim |
