    The Law of Unintended Consequences is at work here. In a good way.
    I attended the Giants/Packers game yesterday. Nice tailgate. I made some Chile, and cooked up some sausage. Another buddy brought some thick slab bacon like they use in a good steakhouse. Of course we had all the fixins and some good drinks. Weather was perfect.

    I don’t usually get involved in the drinking games at the tailgate, but I was persuaded to join in on the Beer Pong game for my very first time.

    All of the other guys were using a basketball type free-throw style.
    I decided to use the good old GTC grip, target and toss !!

    Once I got the range down, I started nailing the cups. I was sinking those ping pong balls like there was no tomorrow.

    By the end of the session, I had the other 3 guys copycatting me. It was fun and even funnier to see it at the tailgate. Too bad we didn’t play for money. I think I could be a contender!
    Great time. Lots of fun. I was thinking of changing my site name to the PONGINATOR !!! What do you think?

    Finesse: I am working on it. As you know I practice alone. This is my opportunity to get some practice buddies. I will try and see if I can get some to come to AC in March.
    Best was that the other players were half my age. (They were also drinking…I was not). The old man showed them youngsters a thing or two about shooting to win.
    Next week is the Dallas Game. I plan on taking a few shots of me with some red solo cups at the end of my table, making like I am practicing. (And maybe I will, because as we know "winning is the most fun". Even if the payout is just feeling good.

    Love it. I use the GTC throw when I play Monopoly wit the grandkids. It doesn’t help but it is fun with them. I have them doing it as well.

    Finesse—it may be a long time before they can take the class!!!!!

    I had a deal at a hotel that based on your bonus points on their special offer of rolling dice. Can’t remember exactly how they paid off but I think it was a thousand point for every roll up to 5000 points. If you rolled a seven you stopped rolling. I got the 5000 rewards points and a shocked look from the desk person.

    Now Beer Pong that could get interesting!

    Game Day, perhaps if they at least come to the open house on Friday they might become more interested. Looking forward to seeing you in March.

    Same here Goddess. One of the guys is very interested in coming. He already plays craps. The others do not. But I have a start. TM
