Gotta throw in a little plug for Tommy Armour. Had a teaching career and won majors after a decorated military stint in WWI. Won after getting mustard gassed. Wouldn’t say a guy like that had no nerve. Butch Harmon had a better teaching career than playing but he fought in combat and won on Tour. I am sure I am leaving out other good examples. Back in the day more major winners were teachers too, some being better teachers than others for sure. I guess why I bring it up is that I agree teaching and playing are separate skills, but I would not blame lack of nerve for those good instructors who didn’t win majors. Maybe some lack nerve, I dunno. I think in more cases it is lack of talent. But the work they had to do to get really good without the top ability helps in teaching.

It could be a lack of talent also but that doesn’t mean a lack of knowledge for sure or the ability to teach

I read the original post (#1) and jumped right here without reading anyone else’s comments. This is a a tar baby issue but here’s my take. In Fresno, Black, Hispanic, Asian pool players abound and on many nights are the predominant patrons. I believe, and I want to, that local demographics are a primary contributing factor and the population of the pool room changes with the time of day, day of the week and month in the year. It does in Fresno because employment hours on your job can vary with the season that can affect your availability, discretionary funds, other recreational activities and family involvement.

Interesting you mention the time of day factor. In one of the first pool rooms in Washington I ever went to on a regular basis, the midday crowd was made up largely of salesmen from the nearby Pontiac dealership, along with former neighborhood residents who'd since moved out to the suburbs. That would have been mostly White folks. But then as soon as the sun went down, the players were 99% Black, because that's what the neighborhood had become. Since then the neighborhood's become mostly White (and very pricey) once again, but the pool rooms have never returned.

still see quite a few 850's here in sweden, especially in the countryside. the 850R was a classic sleeper car, and still is i guess.

this audi stationwagon (kombi) is my favorite sleeper video though:

My son has one of the first Audi RS6 imported in the USA. He ordered it almost 2 years before it was delivered to the local dealer. It is a sleeper unless you look closely at the brakes, tires and suspension. Just doesn't look like a 'normal' family wagon. He's had me in it several times and literally caused me to black out under full acceleration.

Not enough people know who these people are that would give a crap and get enough ratings to make it worth while lol

I agree. The best golf instructors never won majors. They may have not had the nerve to win on that stage but it doesn’t mean they don’t have incredible knowledge and the ability to teach it with your game. Plenty of great players can’t teach worth a damn lol it’s a separate skill
