Nice pictures, I got ya message, I didnt travell to this event as I really havnt been putting anytime in on the table over the summer. I Have been working hard trying to promote www.strokeitwear.com which is keeping me very busy right now.
Great win for Josh, he has been knocking on the door in his last few events. Good to see you getting out there also Blackjack, I may be at Jacksonville next week for that $2000 added event they have got going on.

Great to hear from you Tony. Just FTR, I didn't play in the event. I worked the flowchart and worked the microphone so that TK could concentrate on playing. He deserves that every so often. Josh played great - like a champ! Mark was playing pretty sporty also! Hopefully I'll see you in J'Ville! Take care!

OW! I did not even know that they were hosting an event
Yeah, that Mark C comes out of the gates really strong, but I have been told that he has a stamina problem, you just have to be able to weather his initial storm.
Thanks for the updates BlackJack.
I spent all day at the HONDA dealership, now I am the proud owner of a new ACCORD, with the better gas mileage and reliability and cost of ownership I can start traveling again. When is the Jacksonville tourney?

Great to hear from you Tony. Just FTR, I didn't play in the event. I worked the flowchart and worked the microphone so that TK could concentrate on playing. He deserves that every so often.

You were smart not to both play and work the board, David. Although it never seems to bother Tommy. He always plays well. I helped with the officiating in Gulfport, and as a result I played poorly. At least I have an excuse for getting knocked out early!!

It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it! I really don't mind sitting out and helping him out. Tommy is a great player and a good friend of mine. I think it is incredible that he can plan and organize these events, send out 1000 flyers, work with the room owners, Pechauer, etc, and then show up and win a majority of these events. There always seems to be a tough field, no matter how big or small.

I'm glad you and others are also willing to help him out !

For any room owners in the southeast - this is a great tour to support! You are guaranteed to have the 1992 U.S. Open 9 Ball Champion in the field, and he is also very entertaining - and he will juggle up to 11 balls at an alarming pace and in slo-motion ... CHECK IT OUT we're trying to teach him new tricks, but you know how it is...

I heard that the Hollywood Billiards Florida tour stop in November is cancelled.

Forgot to add in that the person who told me this said that the Seminoles plan to add in the monies from Hollywood to their season finale taking place the very end of Nov/start of December. That could push the added money up to over 20k.

$20,000 ???



For a regional tour stop?

That's great news! The Seminoles have done a great job supporting pool, and John DiToro does a fantastic job also! If the November event has been cancelled, I'll edit my original post to reflect that. I'll also get with John to verify the info for the season finale.
