Then see if they improved in say 2 or 3 yrs if they are still trying . <br \/>\n\tTo bad you did not keep a log of who you played with and when .<br \/>\n\tI think you have played with more then any one that I know of .<br \/>\n\tThis is not an easy thing to do .You are right about taking notes and going to school . <br \/>\n\tI have been throwing dice since the early 70s and only doing it the GTC way for a few years so I know it is hard to break old habits .<br \/>\n\tWhen people talk about golfers and base ball players I think boy a lot of them started when they were less then 20 so they had less bad habits to deal with . Just a thought .<br \/>\n\tDo you remember the first person you meet out side of class and when that was.<br \/>\n\tIs that person still throwing ?<br \/>\n\tHope to see you in Vegas .<br \/>\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude42  \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on June 1, 2014, 11:12 pm<\/p>\n<div>Bman, you are correct.  Rose and Doc see students who have many flaws in their throws as well making many betting mistakes&#8212;like getting too much on the table too early, making prop bets from the middle of the table, etc.  <\/p>\n<p>\tI think it would be well worth while for any former student to take a refresher class, tune up or elite video.  Remember the golf pros who are winning on the PGA tour take lessons on a regular basis.  We are no different.<\/p>\n<p>\tAt the very least come to a class weekend for the open house we can take a quick look at your throw and get you pointed in the right direction.  We can also suggest that you may need more help than we can give you in a few minutes and suggest you take a refresher course which will give much more in depth instruction by all the GTC instructors.<\/p>\n<p>\tHope to see everyone soon.<\/p>\n<p>\tRose and Doc<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> brothelman on June 1, 2014, 11:55 pm<\/p>\n<div>Poppy and Aaron retired ball player Bill burton sal segav aka chuco first group I ever played with after class Poppy and Aaron gone Bill Burton always in my heart RTB and Sal still h ear.<\/p>\n<p>\tTommy two names dice pilot doc rose Greg second group I ever played with one am at TI<\/p>\n<p>\tGregg<\/p>\n<p>\tJoe Villarreal NO<\/p>\n<p>\tTimmer<\/p>\n<p>\tDave Da Porker maybe<\/p>\n<p>\tTim C<\/p>\n<p>\tDave from pit yes<\/p>\n<p>\tPeter coppersmith Mark from maine still play with when he comes to town<\/p>\n<p>\tTooter and jimmy the wrench  yes<\/p>\n<p>\tBricker<\/p>\n<p>\tDbr yes<\/p>\n<p>\tfrenchy yes<\/p>\n<p>\tThe contractor<\/p>\n<p>\t tom <\/p>\n<p>\tGet a grip<\/p>\n<p>\tRitchie<\/p>\n<p>\t The griz<\/p>\n<p>\tThe drone pilot from vegas<\/p>\n<p>\tJumbo<\/p>\n<p>\tthese are a few of the early experiences I can put faces to many more but not names<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> ACPA on June 2, 2014, 3:37 am<\/p>\n<div>I don&#8217;t remember for sure, if we have ever been at the tables together, but it have seen at least twice at the tables.<\/p>\n<p>\tNoah<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> brothelman on June 2, 2014, 4:08 am<\/p>\n<div>I have played with you at ballys and at the gold coast with Paul Morten son bless his sole, have a great day .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> ACPA on June 2, 2014, 5:02 am<\/p>\n<div>Your right, I was only remembering when I ran into you at th M.<\/p>\n<p>\tNoah<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> The Griz on June 6, 2014, 12:04 pm<\/p>\n<div>BMan, you are an icon!
