Small world SC, Mark Roth and my dad have eatten together years ago. Pop also had a friend who ran on the tour for a few years. Not a super big name as Mark, but it did give him the chance to hang out and meet so many of the greats back then. The tour did stop here in Syracuse for a number of years and Don (my dads childhood friend) and his traveling roomate back then would stay at our home while here. It saved them some money that week on the road and they enjoyed a home vs a hotel.
lol fathersson, that chapter in my life is already written. I was averaging 212-218 when I was 14 and 15 years old. I was throwing a storm fire power, orginal chaos, sledgehammer and a target zone. Then I got hurt and started having problems with my legs so I took time off and didnt come back til November of 2003. I couldn't believe my eyes, people had no form no intelligence no nothing and they are averaging 210-220 EASY. I drill up 3 balls, I have no form and I'm averaging low 200's with out even trying.... I go to a tournament in a house that I ran away with a tournament there when I was 15 shooting 279,279,279,258,259 for qualifying then shooting 705 in the semis and winning 269-248 in the finals ...I go there and go +80 for 5 games and WAS NO WHERE NEAR THE CUT...the person leading had about 12 balls there and knew nothing just how to switch balls. After about 4 months of dealing with the leg pain that I had and having to get used to the new equipment and what had to be done I decided to give it up again.
