Wow just finger warming and 5 pages late but.
Have I got stories from 50 years ago. My encounters with competition at it's highest level occurred in the 80s.
Cole Dickson was one that provided in depth view of life as a successful pro.
A favorite top player is Brady Golan, from Canada. He produced a 147+ score in competition play. Only possible with " free ball" with all balls on the table then do black for ever color. Let's see 147 + 8= 155. Yeah okay, he did it!!!!
Of Course Dan Louie would be my favorite role model. Him defeating Parica back to back in the Tahoe tournament was incredible as both went hill/hill.
So my training was that the lack of Mr in front of the name indicates a Personal friend.
