Matlock........................

My old buddy Dave Matlock finished second in the Kansas State Open 8ball yesterday. He got beat in finals by a good Tulsa local player names Eric Pickar. Eric had to double-dip Dave in the final. Good playing David, not bad for a 70yr. old road warrior.

Some old guys are probably pretty crafty still. Good for your buddy mixing it up at his age.

Dave works at Shooter's in Olathe. Does lessons too. Plays good everything. Really sporty 3c player, hi-run is 17ish.

I believe Junior Brown and Terry Young also finished in the top 5-6. All 3 of those guys can still beat anyone

Watching a recently uploaded old match of his really displayed to me how good his technique was. For a time period that included a lot of loosey-goosey fundamentals, he was rock solid. The guy really took his craft seriously. Probably why he still plays well into his 70's.

Seven feet Diamonds let people show their smarts when physical skills are declining a little. Aside from that, I don't remember Dave ever taking a break from hitting balls for long enough to get out of stroke. He is tough on any table and very deservingly a legend of the game.

At the Allen Hopkins Expo a few years ago a local short stop was happy that he qualified to play in the seniors tournament. After he said it was a lot tougher than he thought as those old guys were way better than those playing in the regular tournament. He was in the money in the regular tournament and didn‘t get very far in the Seniors that had a smaller field.
