I'm still rather proud to have hosted a lesson by Scott at my house on my GCIV. I tried to stay out of the pool room as much as possible so that he and his student could have as much uninterrupted privacy and concentration as possible. When I would eavesdrop on parts of the 8+ hour lesson (from the kitchen) it was impressive.
Late in the evening I joined them near the end of the lesson. Although they had been going at it for over 8 hours, Scott's energy and enthusiasm was just as strong as when the lesson had first started.
BTW... if you ever shoot against Scott in 8 ball and play safe leaving him well snookered on the 8, behind the two balls that you still have on the table and the cue ball against the rail... don't breath a sigh of relief so fast and go patting yourself on the back. Yea, I did that to him and in return he pulled off a perfect 52" kick, then crossed another 25" to kick the 8 perfectly across and into the corner pocket (dead center). He doesn't just talk the talk... Scott can walk the walk.
Scott, I hope everything is going well for you on the road. Every once in awhile, I am down on a shot and hear one phrase echoing through my head. "k******* to n******" <---- those who have trained under Scott know exactly what the hidden words are... (it is my respect for Scott not to openly quote any of his lesson techniques here).
These days I'm no longer reminding myself to do it... I'm just noticing the fact that it's becoming more of a natural part of my stroke pattern.
Tonight is my regular Wednesday night foursome get together over at my place. I will be sure to bring up that training session as these guys are strong 4's and 5's but could easily be 8's with the your training. Maybe they will realize why I am undefeated in the money games that usually break out at the end of the evening. :thumbup2:
All of the best to you Scott.
I played in a tournament yesterday and won undefeated, but I just got lucky! LOL
