Oh, and PM me responses to this. I do not want to waste any more of this great thread on this part of it!
I've seen him play. Many times. He's as good as they come, and I'd put him in any lineup of Seniors or Masters as one of the best in the game.
Once again...I love the jealousy that is being brought out in this thread!
We have a young man here who has gotten some great publicity for himself and the game, and a lot of you older players are taking backhanded pot-shots at the accomplishment?
What is this syndrome of not simply giving congratulations, or glad handing someone who has been recognized?
Do you feel that it pushes you up if you push someone else down?
It is an unbelievably rare feat ever to be the best in the country, or the best in the World at anything...even for a short time.
That is about as rude as someone announcing "I just won the xxx National" and your first response was "big deal, it's only xxx, not the US (or whatever)"
This is why I love the Juniors so much...they enjoy the accomplishment for what it is.
Oh, and PM me responses to this. I do not want to waste any more of this great thread on this part of it!
