I do too until people start making it personal and jumping to conclusions based upon their elitist, preconceived notions which have zero basis in fact due to their own laziness to actually inquire and not automatically assume. |

"My dear, diminutive correspondent. Your misinformation is exceeded only by your atrocious grammar." - C.E.Winchester III This really is unfortunate when a top player feels like this: "If ur desperate to compete and there are plenty of others like u and ur not willing to put the effort in to improve and compete at EURO/PGA level then here are a few options." This person apparently automatically assumes that people who are not aligned with his opinion and who are lower on the WGR than he: 1. Apparently haven't put in 'enough' time to be come good at the game 2. The effort we have put in apparently is not 'good enough' 3. That we have unlimited or more time to put in 4. That we have no desire to improve or at least the reason we haven't is that we don't have the same desire as HE does. Let me point out a few things. I used to want to play pro basketball in my youth. At 5'8" there is no way in hell that I could become that good, in fact I would have to work harder than others to make up for the lack of height, arm reach, ect. Due to time, school, family money, it just wasn't feasible. I have friends who went to the University of Arizona and was on the basketball team. They were there for every practice, worked harder than everyone else but because their 'talent' wasn't as good, the never saw a minute of play time until their senior year. Simply put, not everyone can be as good as you, Brian. I'm sure I'm head and shoulders better than you in other things, lets say pool and billiards. I once took 3rd in the nation during college. I had a better talent at that game but i loved basketball and golf more. You would NEVER hear me tell you if you wanted to go pro in billiards that you needed to practice more and be better if you were already working hard. I haven't played a game of 9-ball in 5 years but I would bet $100 that I could walk in and with 10minutes of practice, I would beat you in a race to 7 giving you a spot of two balls. I was that good and you don't forget the feel. Unfortunately there isn't a tonne of money in 'pool' lest you want to do the hustle thing. You don't know how much time some of us puts in. I don't see you and only a few others like Boomer, Doyley, offering help to others. Classes maybe? You want to have us sign up for your class so you can teach us to how to be as good as you? Tell us your close secrets, your short cuts, your own yardage charts? Pointers on Putting? No? Didn't think so. I don't diminish how good you and others are on this game. You are at a level many of us can only dream of getting to one day. That doesn't mean that we haven't worked hard, put in a lot of time, haven't sought help, haven't worked with others, ect. I'm just shy of 2,000 rounds completed. How many do I need to be as good as you? How many hours do you suggest I play to be as good as you? If I put in those hours and those rounds, what will you offer if I'm still not as good as you? Some people just have more talent. Good for you, but don't for a moment think you have the right to tell me or anyone else that we're not 'willing to put in the time' cause you have no friggen clue how much time any of us have put in. Get off your high horse and stop being an elitist little turd.  Have a nice day. Ron give us a bit of warning next time ur gonna write a novel. A sh%$ novel at that. |

I am surprised that Doyley has put up with BRian degrading other players like he has today. Brian needs to move out of moms basement and get a life.

I'm okay with light-hearted banter and even some good 'ol-fashioned put-downs, but when it gets personal I take issue.

I wonder if the guys in formula 1 think to themselves, "gee, wouldn'the be a great idea to just take out Mercedes and Ferrari? They can have thier own league to battle it out while the rest of us can have a chance. I just want to be competitive again. I miss the taste of champagne..."
OR in the SPL.."gee, wouldn'the be a great idea to just take out Barcelona and Real Madrid? They can have thier own league to battle it out while the rest of us can have a chance. I just want to be competitive again. I want a trophy..."

Ron, I absolutely understand what you're saying in your response to Brian. In fact, there is a lot in what you said that I agree with. But here is the reality of life. I will tell you my own story so you understand. I am a song writer. I have been writing songs since 1979. That's pushing 40 years soon. Most of the guys playing here probably aren't even that old. I went to school. I learned music theory. I studied the charts. I can compose anything from a symphony (I actually did write one) to a pop song. I have done it all. I can do it all. I have contacted publishers and A&R men and managers and you name it for most of my adult life. I have literally done everything I know to do in order to make it in the music business. Again, we're talking almost 40 years. I didn't try something for just a few months and give up. I worked my ass off. And in all that time I have almost nothing to show for it. I have one song that was published by a publisher who ALMOST got it recorded by Crystal Gale and another song that made it to the finals in a song contest. That's it. 40 years and that's all I have to show for it. Nobody said "Poor Steve, let's change the rules, requirements or whatever so he can have a hit record." This is the reality of life. If you're not good enough, you're not good enough. Nobody cares and nobody is going to change the rules just because you're not good enough. And I never expected anybody to change the rules for me. I had two choices. I could continue to try to have success with my music or I could quit. That's it. Those were my two choices. There is nothing in between. You do, or you don't. But nobody is going to bend the rules to make me happy. I chose to continue with my music and will continue to do so until I die. Just this last year I even set up a Soundcloud account for myself. A paid one. Costs me over $100 a year for something I make no money from. Well, I do, but not from my music. I sell synthesizer sound banks for a living. It's not making music but it's something. This is the way it is Ron. And in a way, I'm offended that people are asking for special treatment because they can't have the success that they want. Nobody is forcing you to play this game just as nobody is forcing me to keep writing music. I do it because I really love doing it. Have their been times I stopped? Hell yes. I took a break from 2003 to 2008 because I was burnt out. It took me almost 25 years to get burnt out, so forgive me for caving in for a few years. But I'm back and quite honestly, now that I just do this because it's in my soul, I'll never quit again. Success or not, I'm in it forever now. This is something from a CD I recently put together. It's a Broadway style soundtrack. Something I had wanted to do since I was a kid and finally did this year. It took me 35 days to write 17 songs. It was the most fun I had in a very long time. The singer is computer generated because I'm too poor to hire a singer. Everything is done by me on PC. Point is, this is life. If TGCT has lost its shine for you, maybe it's time to move on. But please, don't expect the world to change things just to make a few people who are dissatisfied with the status quo happy. In the meantime, I still hope to someday have at least a little success in the music business. Once Upon A TimeHope you're able to make peace with this whole situation. |
