A great day golfing with pool players.

The legends and Champions Pool Tour finished its tour of the south on Monday. Although we knew that the timing just after X-Mas was probably a little hard to get done we still had a very successful tour.
We decided to play golf today and Played at Johnny's Country Club. So we ended up playing with 5 of us. Myself, Kim Davenport, Earl, Johnny and Art a good friend of Kim and Johnny. We had jus ta great time woofing back and forth on what the bets were and should they be raised and how much weight and should the weight be changed etc. It was just like a pool room but on a golf course. I took $20.00 from Kim Davenport, this is not because I am a good golfer. Kim gave me a stroke a hole and still almost beat me. He also had some action with Earl and ended up tieing the game and they came out even.
All in all these great pool players can really play golf too. It was nice to relax after being on the road with a hectic schedule and I was honored with the company I was keeping. Well I head back to Phoenix tomorrow and begin working on the next leg of the tour hopefully at the begining of march on the East Coast.
Oh last thing, Earls quote of this leg of the tour was. "If I were a hooker and went to a hotel room to do my job and found out I had to work on T-Wheels I would slit my wrists" He said this in front of a number of people and Archer almost fell to his knees laughing when he heard it. Probably due to that fact that it was said only in the way that Earl could say it.
Well we have had a great time in the short period we have had in the South and everyone has been very nice and helpful. Thank you to everyone who has helped us and supported us over the past couple of weeks including all the APA League Operators, Brunswick Billiards and Got Action Sportswear.
 
Did Johnny tell you about the time him Daulton and Ellis played some guys?? It's hilarious....=))
 
Where does Johnny play his golf? By the way, the offer still stands if your tour comes through Baltimore during golf season. I will get the three of you out at my place (Top 100).

palmer course

Next time you guys make it through here in NC again you'll have to stop by and try the new Arnold Palmer designed course in merry hill, I haven't actually played the course yet but have driven around on it, a very nice looking course.

Is that the seven lakes golf club? Arnold has a nice couse design called River Landing about 25 miles east of Wilmington N.C. that is real nice too...
 
THAT!....brings back memories! After our annual 14.1 tourney back in like 92? I went out with the room owner Peg Leg Pete, Mike Sigel, and Allen Hopkins. I was freaking out cause I thought these guys were killers on the course just like on the table!....not so much......BUT, they would bet on EVERYTHING :) At that time I was probably playing to a 6, and after 4 holes I realized I better miss a few shots so there were no negotiations after the turn!:grin-square: I never felt so great about an 82 in my life!

good times!

What was the total scores???
I don't really want to talk about that to be honest. However I think Ja and Earl were close in the high 70's Kim was around 82 and I was around 95. BUT I havn't played in a while and it was really cold and wet, I didn't feel too good, I have a bone in my leg, they were all sharking me the whole time and my vision isn't what it used to be. I have many more excuses if you need them to justify my crappy score :)

I had been playing bogey or double bogey golf all day and then someone pointed out with three holes left that Kim was getting real close to me and that I was in danger of losing my lead.
At the next tee box I told Kim "Ok I have given you your chance I am going to have to kick up a gear" I was just kidding as I had been trying my hardest all day. All of a sudden I hit a killer drive right down the middle, next shot is a 7 iron that lands 2ft from the pin and I put out for a birdie. Kim looked at me for a second with a scowl and Earl said "He's been stalling on you" to this Kim said "if you make another Birdie I am not paying" I'm sure he was joking but fortunatley I finished with a double and a par. It did look like I had been working him though especially after I told him I was going to play better. The look on his face was funny though but mine was probably more as shocked as his.

I can relate. I can't hit a ball to save my life when I have a bone in my leg.:D:D:D

Earl won the Sedgefield Country Club Club Championship 1 year shooting 75-75....He said he could have won the tennis championship too but had other obligations at that time....He can do it all! :thumbup:
