Sure makes it hard for those real Open players though. That's why so many don't want to go and why so many try to get into a lower division. I guess if he don't win it, it's only because he got beat by a better Master player in the Open division .
See you in a couple of weeks...Ken
Thats the rub Ken, the flipside of that is if a player practices all year, pays for lessons and grows greatly to the point that the director thinks he/she is now a Master, it stiffles improvement and breaks the heart of the person trying to improve. Id rather have the pansies not show up than stiffle improvement. Getting in the Open is risky anyway because of the shorter race. Those that dont come for that reason only hurt us in the long run anyway and if it wasnt that reason, I am guessing they would have another reason. Dont get me wrong I have been beat by many a master player in the open division. Hope to see you at noon ken.
