Notable players in attendance are: Larry Nevel, SD, Jeff Pruitt, Larry Kressell, Sam Monday, Keith Bennett, & WPBA touring professional Belinda Calhoun. Whew!! We had a blast in here last night- we celebrated two birthdays, a surgery ( Jeff Pruitt will be having shoulder surgery on Thurs. and will be out for the rest of the year) and a great tourney! After about the 15th shot it was all she wrote. It was great hangin with the Virginia boys and AZ's Dead Poked.

Why don't you start a little tour or run a few tournaments out by you while you in limbo? You would make the rules=NO bank pool players allowed . Nobody with a first name starting with a "J". Johnnyt

And I told you that if you play, I would pay you double for whatever you win. In other words you're on you own big boy. :grin:
