We Scooped You, New York Times!
Within the last couple months, iBerkshires.com has posted a couple of features on Dylan Dethier's cross-country golf trek.
Check out which media outlet (you may have heard of them) posted a story about Dethier on Sunday.
Dethier has certainly made the rounds. He was in USA Today a few months ago, and now the New York Times. I heard Al Jazeera is next!
Between the Bachlorette and Dethier, Williamstown is pumping out some star power.
