Words can be so confusing...
When I was a kid, I dreamed of being a scratch golfer...finally made it at 17 years old.
Took up billiards the same year....now I tried NOT to be a scratch player.
...but when I took my first big win ($50)...I got all the scratch...:happydance:
I managed to scratch out a living over the years...which was a good thing...:thumbup2:
But now my game is not up to scratch...:banghead:
:scratchhead:
