Hey Crawfish, I think I attended that tournament. Like you, I was young and just getting heavy into pool and excited to attend any tournament in NC, SC or Georgia. The Brass Tap was one of the premier rooms back then. I attended a weekly tournament there once, and most of the names you...

Hey D, Check your PMs. Mike

Hey JG, That's him. He came to Diamonds last weekend and finished 2nd. He plays sporty. Really nice guy, too. I went up Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and sweated the matches. I saw Hal sitting over at the front table but didn't get a chance to say hello. Karen Corr played really well against...

I wonder if he got out the rest of the rack.........

A guy called me a couple of days ago from Spartanburg and said he already had his flyer. I don't think we have to worry about it filling up quite so quickly this year. The guy said Gary went up to $150 on the entry fee. That may be a little steep for me. Mike

I have to go with Neil here and stress the precision cue ball control. I am pretty good friends with a really top level player, and he told me once that the biggest difference in his game and mine was that I shot for position in a 1 foot circle, while he shot for position on a dime inside the...

If you try to gamble without being wise, don't worry. You will definitely be sleeping in your car by mid-week :D .

I ran into Pete a couple of times. Really good guy. Condolences to his family and friends. Mike

I'll hope to be there. Not sure if I will head out Friday night or Saturday Morning. Mike

I'm a fairly green person, and like to think I care about the environment. I have used Tom's toothpaste for a while, and like it, and I know they are a company that seems to care about the environment. So when I saw they had a deodorant out, I bought some as well. I played Shannon's GSBT...

Thanks Stan, I tried to screw an OB1 yesterday with a regular 3/8-10 thread onto my Gulyassy butt, and it wouldn't fit. I'll check with Mike G if nobody here has anything, but I was hoping to be able to trade a little something first, and I would also like to get something used to be sure i...

Does anyone have an OB1 with the Gulyassy 3/8-10 Acme thread joint size? I'd like to try an OB, but I don't think one is available with the special thread size that Gulyassy uses. I'd like to consider trading my Tiger Ultra shaft for it. Here is a link where I tried to sell the Tiger shaft a...

I wonder if that's the same Schon he used until he died. He used that same cue for at least the last 12 years or swo that I knew him. It had red boxes I believe in the butt sleeve and points with a diamond in each point with red and other colored veneers. Mike

I grew up with the old hustlers and there are not many of them left. I miss Fountain Inn Red Willis. He always stirred action and was funnier than hell, mostly when he wasn't trying to be. Eddie Burton is another one. Hard to get to know, but very likeable when you finally got to know him. Mike

I don't think he needs to do too much. There are just a couple of known, pretty high caliber players that usually play. Nothing against Shannon and Marge. They run great events. I guess when you play Shannon's speed, your idea of an amateur might be a little different than others :D . One...

It's funny you should mention Charlie Brinson. I was standing around the Music City that same year with the South Carolina faithful that came, which included Don Stevens, Jimmy Hodges, myself and several others. Charlie Brinson walks up, and Don Stevens asks, "Hey Charlie. Where are you...

Me too, Kev. When I first started attending (the way early 90's), the TD was Dick Gayden, and all the champions showed up. It was kinda like the Derby in that road players and champions both made appearances. A bunch of us even got together once while the Music City was going on and attended...

Hopefully one of us can cash this weekend anyway. If not, maybe we can get into a little action anyway. :smile: Shannon always has a tough "amateur" field, but I really enjoy the tournaments. Mike

I think I may ride over Friday or Saturday. Hope to see everyone there. Mike

Check with Muttley. That's his neck of the woods. Mike
