Some of you math guys appear to be up early.
Dean please don't include the golf angle in this yarn, it might make us all go blind or leave us inert.

We find our self at lunch at the casino with the house man,his shill poker players (all world series champs or nearly so) hoping the kid might play some more cards
preferrably low ante or blinds and high limits where the players knowing the ins and outs of after flop
expertise might take down the cheese,but unbenounced to these poker sharps the kid has been schooled to all the angles,he knows his only chance is high limits,or no limit with big blinds sufficientto protect,worth while stealing and for him tthe kid making quick huge bets frequently causing mahem among the others.
Even this strategy is fraught with peril and offer the kid no long term security,but the the kid can use every loss to build his image and remove the others to a field of competition they are less at home with
After lunch the kid says i feel like golf,you guys wanna come.they really have no choice as they would hate to see the kid get out of their sight because he then might lose everything to some golfers
So off they go,everyone knows how everyone else plays,the kid is estimated to shoot around 90.the average pool player has about a 9 handicap and the kid gets one half vstroke pr hole and 1 stroke except the par threes from the semi scratch player(all this from the front tees
The gamblers ride,the broads take a cart and the Kid calls for his chauffer to carry his bag and caddy
This is where a young Moses brooks from dallas is introduced.
After a few holes the kid is about even and shrieks in pain,its that taped up left hand,it's jusy too sore to play,so they offer to call the bet off.
The kid says give me another stroke and I will play one hamded
All agree to this absurd proposition,the kid loses and it is not even close,the kid complains his right wrist is hurting and he might have to call off the back nine.
Here moses says"kid,I fell good,i think i can beat these guys with 2 and one half strokes a hole"
The kid says,what about it
Never suspecting the kid of treachery the guys jump on it for about $1000 pr player
9 holes later Mo has lost about $9000 and busies himself apologizing and asking for another chance
they all aree and 9 holes and $9000 later the kid says we need another half stroke
the players agree ang raise the bet
after 9 holes Moses is back to even and they retire for the day agreeing to get started in the morning
