Hey Scott. I don't know if we've met yet either. If you come to Park on Tuesday's for the tournament (they're still having it as far as I know), I'll likely be there. It's a favorite of mine. Come on out, and you'll find it to be as tough as you expect to be, but still plenty of fun...

Here's Day 13 (link below.) This table is going to be a regular in this challenge, not just because it's one of the nicer Diamonds in town---it actually has a Diamond light on it---but also because it's really close to my house. Day 13: http://youtu.be/lgBTaQI02fk Sent from my iPad using...

Here's Day 12 (link below). It's not the prettiest out, but I've done worse and will definitely count it with the others. I'm still waiting for some more company. Anyone willing to join in the fun I can tell you it'll really help your game. You don't have to do it everyday. Even if you...

Here's Day 11. I completed this day's runout in memory of Martin Reed and his son Brendan. We lost them way too soon, and they will be missed dearly. Martin was the owner of Park Avenue Billiards in Orange Park, FL. Today's runout came on one of their tables as many others have, and many...

Not taking ball in hand... I'm playing it where it lays after the break. A sub-goal of the whole thing is to improve my cue ball control on the break shot. Another is improving my patience, especially when the balls aren't rolling my way. And you're right, cameras are expensive. (Thanks...

Day 9 is done. It took the longest yet, around 2 hours. I think I was tired, but I expect this won't be the longest I have to try. Day 9: http://youtu.be/N4keg1WuA5c Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I've competed Day 8 of the ROaD YouTube challenge that I began a little over a week ago. (link below) Today's run out came just before a charity tournament held for the Robert Galentine Trauma Fund. The event drew forty players, and altogether was a great success. Robert suffered a severe...

I'll try it out for sure. I know that I won't be going back to traditional racks, but I like the idea of testing out a few of these new ones to see which I prefer over the others. The one in the last few videos isn't an MBR, but one custom made at the room by a local who has done a pretty...

After hearing of the pledges made by Mr. Bond and elvicash my mother has decided to match theirs with $100 herself. Mom has always been supportive of my playing pool, but I didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic about my plans to play literally every day for a year. Maybe she doesn't mind so...

I know well of Larry, and you are right. I could listen to him talk pool for hours. Since I explained GTP to him he's taken to calling me 'Prez.' :) It's high praise coming from such a great guy, and I feel lucky to be in his orbit. Jacksonville really has a great wealth of pool players, and...

Wow! This is getting really cool... I almost don't know what to say. Elvicash and Mr. Bond, I am going to try my hardest to stay with this all the way. Your generosity is inspiring, and I will surely owe my game's improvement to the both of you pushing me to continue. You've made ROaD...

Yep, that's the one. :) David is a cool guy on and off the felt. He's been giving me some advice, which I really appreciate because I don't feel he's into offering instruction right now. I'll take what I can get from him. I've never been given any formal training, but I have considered...

Last I heard Neil is living the dream life in Hawaii. He's one of the nicest guys I ever met. He always made himself available for advice. And if Butch, Ramsey, and Larry are shortstops, then you're right. I'm not in their category yet, though I did get the better of Grossman a few Sundays...

Motivation just skyrocketed... Mr. Bond, I will try my very best to complete this challenged as stated. You've added to the stakes, and for that I sincerely thank you. It is no small amount you've pledged, and I will be keeping it in mind each day. It has already made me so much more...

Grand Tour Promotions is pleased to announce that Riggsy's Billiards of Jacksonville, FL is the newest sponsor venue on The GRAND Tour. Thank you to Bobby for all the support. We can all expect more now that you've shown us how. Riggsy's Billiards: http://riggsysbilliards.com/index.htm GTP...

I'm about your average short stop's speed. I can tell you that these aren't coming too easily right now, but I can see how I'll be improving if I stick to this for a year as planned. I'm in relatively good health at the time of this post. I would hate to jinx myself so early in the challenge...

Thank's for the support, Lock. I don't see this week being a problem. I'm gonna do two more, then I'll make a compilation video of the first week's BnR's. Today I think I'll be doing one at Solids and Stripes of Orange Park, FL. The pockets have recently been tightened there, and it'll make...

Should I take this bet? I like the dated paper idea if I were to take this bet, but I'm not inclined to at this time. I'm fairly committed to doing this on a different table every day, and I couldn't expect someone with their own table to do the same. I'd like you to keep posting videos just...
