I don't know how to title this

Thanks for what you, and especially Bob, are doing during the DCC. That's impressive!

Have you asked Grady to join the straight pool challenge?

The DCC straight pool is all about Bob, without him it wouldn't exist. I'm just there to help out due to my love for straight pool.

Never figured I had to ask Grady to play, he knows where to find us. I will give him a formal invite next year. :smile:

Keep dreaming. Charlie plays in the straight pool challenge every year at the DCC and qualifies for the finals. Grady does not even enter, some straight pool legend...

Exactly so. Charlie ran an 85 on a tough Diamond table this year, and qualified for the final. He beat out both Feijen and Immonen for his spot in the final, which is no small achievement.

Grady could set up a diamond table in room 348 at the Marriott then dress up like a young asian princess. When Charlie takes the bait and keycards' the room, BANG! Challenge Match! TAR could already be there too, kind of like a surprise party!

The "young Asian princess" was a friend of Grady's. The plot thickens.

This is a very difficult post for me to make, as I have always been a fiercely proud and independant man. My wife is dying from three different kinds of cancer. My business is struggling and I have my own health problems but I'll probably live til' I'm at least 80. Besides family, friends and country the only thing that ever mattered to me was pool.
Instead of picking at me for for really bad reasons why not put forth a 100% AZ effort to get me invited to the Straight Pool tournament. I'd love to be AZ's pro and I have a lot to offer, especially with my new material, which will be coming out in Sept.
Some other things you probably don't know about me:
1. If an establishment had good equipment in a place I was working, I'd offer this to an owner: If I didn't run a 100, I'd work for nothing. If I did he'd pay me double.
2. I ran more than a hundred balls in 71 pool rooms, this with different balls, lights, tables and cloth.
3. I hold the high run record on tables with four inch pockets, one of these in the 180's.
4. I robbed, giving up weight, some much ballyhooed players, at 14.1. I won't mention their names for obvious reasons.
I'm not a bitter old man. I am opinionated but I can still play and it's criminal for me to not get to play in the 14.1 tournament.

But what happened 2 this~

Of course everybody is entitled to their opinion. Any poster who cannot see from the evidence I have presented that Charlie Williams is awful for our sport, I just don't think I could ever be your friend.That being said I permanently withdraw any desire or request to play in anything Charlie or the UPA does.
I apologize to everyone I may have offended. In the future I will try to only post about non-controversial subjects.
