Bob could not have stated my thoughts on the subject more perfectly. I have had a few defensive shots find their way to a pocket. Many of the time, it also $crewed me on my next shot as well.

This person apparently doesn't want to keep their patch...

Oh, well [8] is easier than [9] so I can see why it would be annoying playing a guy who is a sl2.

2009 Membership Increase Reminder

nofail — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 13:27:59 -0500

Membership Fee to Increase $5 in 2009
Over the past 15 years, the price of consumer products and services has skyrocketed. In 1993, a gallon of gas averaged $1.11, a postage stamp cost $0.29, and the average price for a new home was $147,000. My how things change! One thing that hasn�t changed since 1993 is the cost of your APA membership. That�s right, for the past 15 years the cost of an APA membership has remained exactly the same�$20

Beginning in 2009, however, the price of an APA membership will increase to $25 per year. This nominal increase is necessary in order to continue to provide our members the absolute best benefits and services. The increase in your membership fee will also bring additional services to you as an APA member. Next year, we hope to be able to process membership renewals online via credit card. We also plan to provide an online member login that will allow you to access your statistics, standings and schedules. We hope you�ll agree that this increase is minimal compared to the exciting new member benefits and services we have planned!

Michael, possibly a race to your handicap number with an extra game for 7's to go to 8 to make it fair for 5's and 6's. I just know that it's difficult enough to keep your own score counting balls and concentrating on shooting. There's a good chance you'll see me there as I enjoy your venue and your local players....Jamie

You will miss 100% of the shots you don't take

I'm actually beginning to think HighamEJ31 was being sarcastic. I've reviewed the logs - ALL of them. There pretty short and not much in there. There are often days between use as well.

The problem with a chat room is people don't come to the site and sit on it. They come, get their stats, maybe post and then leave. So it gets used very little.
