Great time at Ron's tournament Saturday. Sorry for such a dismal performance
my first match with Ron. I kind of expected that after a 3 1/2 year layoff.
As the day wore on things got a little better. Wound up in a ring golf game
with Preacher Ron, and Jeff Thomas (sadly though, it was on a 9' pool table, instead of a snooker table.) which turned into a marathon session, with Jeff and I playing till noon the next day. Finally played my way into stroke a little bit. We called it quits about noon Sun. (25 hrs. total.)
Getting way too old for that stuff, but it was kinda fun. We wound up playing for $100/ten a scratch. Was surprised how good Jeff played. Spent most of the night playing catch up. Thanks to Jimmy Langston for comping our time, otherwise we would have both been loser.
Hope to have my new '9 Crown III set up by next week. May start doing a little one pocket tutoring, and have some fun, invite partner sessions with the old home guard.

P.S. Congrat's to Bernie and Rick on a great finish. Preacher Ron, Jeff, and I go way back, but it was my first time meeting Bernie. Fine player, and a real gentleman. A credit to our game.
( by the way Lenny, Rick's last name is "Cosman")
