How about playing tomorrow (Sunday 4/4) at 10 am at the rail yard. I have some left over birthday cake from Whole Foods for after. Or perhaps some croissants.

Days are shorter, and it takes a while for the day to warm up. Rad, Sandy and Melissa have come several times, and others seem interested. I am sure there will be pick up games on some warm afternoons.

A shooting competition in 2000 between Claudy Weibel (in the blue shirt) and Philippe Quintais (considered one of the top 3 players in the world). This was a side event at a tournament, where players must perform intricate individual shots, at increasing distances. Call it “Ringers on your own”. Look at the slow motion replays.
