Ok here we go... Most of the time I talk about what it is like to play at he highest level and lately I talk about the little shoots I go to.... The reason for the latter is two fold.. It is almost twice as much to go to the UK this year and the second reason is... I DO NOT FEEL LIKE IT.
Weird Huh? I mean imagine that all you ever do is based around darts and work? Now factor in that I was spending as much time in TRAVEL just to play as I did in a country to play and then still have to work 56 hours every week no matter what. I am not complaining... I have a great life, I really do. I live in area where it is only spring and summer .. it rains only like 10 days a year and I will always have a great career, I have seen the biggest stages in the world for darts and I have won at every level... I could simply walk away and say " I have done more then anyone ever thought I could" Now to my point....
But as a side.... a fellow decided to review my darts on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPJe2qi7MXA check it out :) Now for the rest...

Well I just barely have time but figured I would write a quick update... I was playing really well overall yesterday and in the 501 doublein/out split bull (so basically playing steel tip) I had 5 10 dart games but unforunately I did not have that form in the finals where I magically fell off the triples. I had shots at my out but those too eluded me in the end as I finished second.
In the doubles myself and Bob Castillo easily won the cricket doubles which both of us being Team USA players you would hope so....
Today has Cricket singles and 501 doubles so I am hoping to repeat and go one further. Yesterday they were streaming some of the shoot live on the internet at www.ustream.tv then do a search for 2010 Arizona Open dart tournament Hopefully it will be there today and you can watch the action live. |

Once again, I wrote a blog yesterday after the youth event to only have it swallowed up by the computer gremlins, so here we go again.
I woke up early yesterday to participate in the adult-youth shoot, which ended up being a lot of fun. I played with a lovely girl named Halli Jurado and we ended up taking second place. The format was adults could play to set up the out, but the youths would have to take the game. Halli displayed World Class finishing all the way up until the finals, where we had a closely contested match, but came up just short.
For the main events the day didn't go quite as planned.......

Well this weekend sees myself playing here in Phoenix at the AZ Open Soft-tip tornament. It started last night and I was able to get off of work for a few hours to go out and capture the Mixed Doubles title for the 4th year in a row and third in a row with Lisa Yee. For those that know Lisa it is no surprise to see her in the winners circle. She has a natural ability that has lead her to represent the USA in Soft tip a few times and surely willl again.
Today hosts the 501 singles, which I am becoming late getting to ;), then the cricket doubles who I will be playing with Bob Castillo. Bob in fact will be on the NDA Team USA for the first time and will surely represent himself well. I am looking for a sweep of all the events this weekend but with soft tip one can never really say as in this game it is not about the shots you hit, it is about the ones you miss. I will get in to that a bit more later when I have time.....
I feel really good so I am looking for some great results today :) Here's hoping..... |

Well, I wrote this outstanding, great log while I was delayed at the airport, but of course I had power failure before I could hit save, so here we go again.
This weekend I am travelling to Sacramento to play in the Camellia Classic, a tournament that I have one the last three times that I have appeared, so I am hoping that my streak continues. Even though it will be a fun weekend of darts and friends, it is disappointing to not be playing in the PDC Tour instead, due to the cost of airfares this year. It promises to be a well run tournament filled with the traditional American games as well as some fun events. It isn't one of the biggest tournaments in America, but it will still have some top American players, such as Chris White who just one his 4th national championship (even though he's Cannadian), Scottie Burrnet, current North American Singles Champion and PDC World Championship qualifier, and Rob Heckman, multi soft-tip world champion.
