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. Steve Motton from Bathurst drew badly and didn't make it to the final for the night, but played very well none-the-less. Ozzie was out of luck for the night, as were Peter Corcoran from Wagga, and Al Smith from Coffs Harbour (a late ring-in from an event upset). I got my "Local Champ" shirt and a hat and got them autographed by some of the big-wigs, they were all good guys actually with plenty of time to talk to us mere mortals.
