I do think he's got the golf bug bad. He wakes up in the middle of the night to watch the Ryder cup, buys golf shit on ebay, goes to driving ranges, buys new clubs, etc., etc.

But...his employee is off getting his heart looked at and orders must be filled. Those racing engines don't just come together on their own. I think he would love to be sitting ringside watching Oliver and the boys string hondos together, but I guess it is not to be this year.
 
OH, i am sorry to hear that there are someones health issues involved.

wish him my best for me. i would call him but i dont have his number. i forgot to save it at Valley Forge !

Dana,

As I promised you during our phone conversation, I'll try to do a 44+ every day just for you and post it - here is a 51 w/ commentary from this morning. This run isn't that pretty, but there is something to learn in every run.

51 w/commentary 10-05-10

Just concentrate on the process and eventually you'll get those higher numbers.

Nice shooting Dave.

maybe you can make a new post everyday to bring some life back into this great forum we have here. call each one like "_ _ Ball Run For Dana xx/xx/xx"

Blackjack I watched the 51 nice commentary. You really do not have to run a 44 for me everyday. I will focus a little more on running my age. I will start playing with camcorder more so I can catch my own 44+ run.

Wish I was going to Jersey good luck to all participants.
 
Played bad tonight real bad played a strong player who kept me sitting 10-15 minutes at a time. I kept getting up and doinking balls into the rail completely out of mojo.

A little advice is that you can flirt and practice all you want, but when its time to dance its a different story. you have to get out and get in action or play alot of tournaments to season yourself and toughen up. you would be suprised of your consistancy and you can reach your goals of running higher numbers.
 
Good Point

Very good point but once a player gets that seasoned consistency, practice is just as important. Yes, getting out into tournaments will toughen up a player but one needs to be careful not to jump into the fire too soon. It can have a opposite affect on a player. Each player is different. Going about how to raise one's level to higher levels is different. It is like that in all walks of Life (job performance, sports etc.).
Appreciate your comments. That is what our 14.1 Forum is all about.

Dana, The friday after thanksgiving their is a Turkey Blowout tournament which is the best 8-ball tournament in town. The same time they are having the same tournament at brickyard billiards which John Scoonfield is calling it the Turkey Blowout, nothing against Bill and Tommy, but Its not right for John to call it the turkey Blowout because we have ran that tournament for about 9 years, we hope to see you and others at the event.

And not to mention that in 8 years of running the Turkey Blowout, We have had anywhere from 85 to 110 players traditionally, untill this conflict of interest, see you next year at the 10th annual Turkey Blowout.

Good luck with your match dennis, so did you film the outing from last weekend ???

Need to post some video from the Derby. I really need to play some straight pool myself as I have not been very focused on that lately. When I went to the Derby it was mostly watching less shooting. Played a couple of short games with Dennis.
 
motivation

Elvi and I have a bet for highest run on video this year. The loser buys the winner dinner at Binions at the Derby next year. This should motivate Dana. They have some nice steaks there.

Dana, what is the cut off date, btw?

Complete by when the Derby begins which is Jan 20, 2012 next year so cut it off on the 19th of January. I think it will take a 50+ to win this I took some innings earlier nothing worth posting yet. I will be haing the bone in ribeye the quesiton is who will be picking up the check. Good luck Dennis.

BTW - I am working on trimming that video right now and doing some title screens
 
I have not been playing alot then i went to see Mr 400 with WBM. I learned a few thing about the game and a few more things about my stroke (thanks John) and i hope to get back to my goal. We will see what happens with this and I will post some video i got to get out of the 20's.
