I just got the invitation in the mail...
The APA wants another 40 bucks from me.
And I want another crack at
the US Amateur Championships.
That seems like a fair trade.
In 2004, I tried out for the first time,
along with another 1000+ wanna-be pool players.
I was undefeated in the
California preliminary rounds.

That performance got me into the big show
with 127 other hopefuls.
I was less than spectacular,
and tied for 64th.
In 2005 and 2006
I fell short in the preliminary rounds
and didn't qualify for the big event.
So, here we go again for 2007.
What will I do differently to prepare?
For starters, I'll reduce the pockets
on my Gold Crown IV table to 4.5 inches.
That will give me 6 months
to sharpen my aim and my game.
Never give up!
