Darts Pro Tournament Addendum

Went to the Grand final for Western NSW in the Wild Turkey Darts Pro Tour; the guy that took me out in the Finals (Dave Whitmore) was the guy who won the event (luck of the draw huh?). Dave (the "Tiger") then went on to beat Steve “The Bronzed Adonis” Beaton, Dennis “The Menace” Priestley, Bob “The Limestone Cowboy” Anderson, Alan “The Iceman” Warriner and Richie “The Prince of Wales” Burnett (all over here from Europe) and win the night. It was great to be there, Dave is a great player who deserved to win, he's off to play on the Gold Coast this weekend, and he's my tip to win the National event.

Wild Turkey Darts Tournament (or - My Foray into Professional Darts)

Went to Orange yesterday for the Western NSW Regional Finals with a few mates in the Wild Turkey Darts Tournament. All of the best players in our area were there, and unfortunately I drew Dave Whitmore (The Tiger) so my day was over quicker than I would have liked, but I played ok, and even won one of the games (Dave is something like No 3 in NSW or all of Oz or something, he doesn't miss much =). My other buddies from Bathurt - Neil Masters also drew badly against a fella named Rogan who knocked Neil out of the running, Dave Cheetham and Rod Evans and myself were all knocked out of the match in the second round. Steve Motton is through to the Regional Grand Final and finished second on the day to Peter someone who was WAY too full of himself and acted like a freak every time he threw a good shot, and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get spoken to about calming down a bit =).
