Hey everyone I know I didnt have a good showing at the Open this year and Im very sorry to my sponsers. I did really well when I was in ACTION so if anyone out there is up for it, I can make a trip down to this GREAT tournament If I can find a sponser for this one. Like I said before they put the entry fees up and a room and they will get all of there entry fees and the money for the room back right off the top of everything I get back in the tournament. Then we split! I dont think that thats to bad for anyone that takes the risk of putting me in the box. If anyone is intrested Please PM me and let me know. Thank you everyone for ur help and I really hope someone has some faith in me and my ability to play. THANK YOU! The Genie Man!
