I've been to South haven and know Bill rowsey.....
My last trip to Tunica I met Bill and he had this young lady with him.
I got bit up by bedbugs at the best western so it kind of ruined my trip there as far as playing. I got some kind of allergic reaction to the bites and got kind of sick along with the horrible itching. Couldn't sleep. Bad for trying to play good pool. Bill had this girl with him and watched one of my matches.
From what I hear this young lady plays pretty good already.
After Tunica I hooked up with Rhea Brooks and kept her on the road with me until my mother passed about 2 months ago.
Rhea worked on the one pocket herself. I'm not into that game too much. She needed to work on her road survival skills and matching up skills.
When I met her she was almost considered a C player. She lost about 6,000 in Columbus. ohio in the 2 months before I met her.
She's on the road herself now down in Texas and making it on her own. Playing tournaments and matching up with different players.
She has a thread here on AZ about her being on the road without Gene. It's called Rhea, the new chapter without Gene.
We traveled together for about 3 months. it was tough but she learned so much and we talk about once or twice a week.
Bill is a real good guy and runs a real nice room there in Southhaven. I was there about 3 years ago giving lessons teaching Perfect Aim.
