womens competitions

Well, you certainly have modesty going for you

Then brush up on ur cooking skills so u can land ur self a good man,maybe a doctor! Forget about throwing and lifting that's for boys. I hear cross stiching is a great hobby for u dames.

I hope this is just a wise crack instead of coming from someone's (supposedly) wise crack (not talking out one's . . .).

Thank you!  I appreciate you giving me that info, I will put them on my calendar!

Thanks Wally, I am looking forward to it...sorry Mark

Already hit every mark listed above in my first games in Vista in June.  Looking forward to my next games in October.

Thanks all for your help

Hmmm... Are the vista games concidered a legit games?.. I only counted 4 total competitiors.. (2 ams.. 1 masters.. and 1 women)..

And out of curiousity why did you have to enter your own scores?.. was there an AD for the games?..

Don't get me wrong.. you have EXCELLENT starting marks..  I'm sure that you'll be playing with the best in the field soon..

However.. you need to start networking with the AD's out there, and get yourself into some competitions with more than 3 competitors.. Otherwise it's just a demo and your scores don't count.  (in terms of counting.. I want to be clear.. I mean they don't count towards your national rank, and can't be used to get you into the world championships..)..

In my personal experience.. the best advice I can give you in order to throw with the best competition is to travel. (as much as you can afford). Sometimes the best competiton you will face on the field.. may not be who you expected.  You'll also have a great opportunity to network and make new friends.

thanks Jeff!.

It looked so sketchy in the NASGA database.. ( i guess everyone just had to put in their own marks).

As opposed to the not-so-top women Pros?

Will... Good minds think alike. Kristin and I have already been in contact.

Also, if you have any women up in Cortland that are not Pro's, let them know we hold the New England Women's championship the week before that. Most of the women (Maybe all... ) that were in Cortland are what we consider PRO in Maine, so it may be moot, but I thought I would toss that out to you.

I can see Kates confusion with the AD's not entering scores. Here in New England you have guys like Wayne Hill, Scott D, Ken Gustufson, Will Barron, etc... running games. We are spoiled.
