Ok this might be painfully obvious and having to explain blows the bit but, why no data from Greenland?

Ed Kelly was from Baltimore and nobody mentioned him. Only one of the best all time! Nobody mentioned here could have beaten him, and only Keith could have hung with him at 9-Ball. Kelly played all games great! The best All Around player in the world for many years. Ask Tom Vanover about him.

I knew the Gumpster's father in my area. We both belonged to the same organization and so I would run into him every now and then. He had a deep, booming voice, and was funny as could be. Tragically, Steve's brother passed away several years after Steve from the same type of cancer. His brother's wife, a friend of mine, posts on this forum from time to time, but not often. She is still active in the pool world, competes on a league, and usually goes to Valley Forge each year.

Steve had a good friend, an SES scientist/doctor, who was high in the ranks at NIH, which is right in Bethesda, Maryland, our neighborhood. The NIH doctor also happened to be a pool player from North Carolinia and is a good friend mine as well. He tried to help Steve by getting him in NIH and succeeded. However, the medicine did not work on Steve.

The NIH doctor used to stake Steve in many a game when Steve lived in Maryland. The Gump was loved by all who met him. He was definitely one of a kind.

The Gump was one of my all time favorite pool players, along with Tommy Kennedy. They both always had (in Gump's case) a great big smile for everyone. And both played very good pool, about the same speed. I loved Steve and hung out with him every chance I got.

He got a melanoma about 20 years ago and just ignored it. When he finally went to the doctor it was too late. It had already gotten into his bloodstream.

If you go to youtube and watch the video, you can advance it frame by frame. Go to 27:20, then repeatedly hit the right angle bracket key (>). You will see the 9-ball move. After her shaft hit the cue ball, it hit the 9-ball.

One pocket and banks are special cases, as there are specialists in those games that can easily beat many players with much higher Fargos.

Although they now allow 1p games to go in to Fargo they don’t do a breakdown of 1p only matches. It would sure be interesting if they did.

Fargo is like all Handicapping Systems, not Prefect.

Person who has Fargo but only play 9 Ball on Bar Boxes, has never play One Pocket on a 9 footer, should carry Rating over at First Attempt to play One Pocket?
