Hi Doc, as of now I do not think I can make it out there. If I can figure a way to make it work and cover the expenses I will get out there as your event deserves coverage especially since its one pocket. If you can get someone that will be great to so we can all sweat it. Who are some of the top names who will be there?
Okay, Lenny. I'll ask around. Might be able to get Matt Highsmith. There were also two guys who streamed the last Pechauer event at Skeeter's. I'll see if I can find their card.
As to top names, it's too soon to tell. We do have Grady signed up, and of course the incomparable GulfportDoc. Last time we had Nick Vita, John Henderson, Jason Evans, and of course Mike Surber.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Cliff Joyner sign up. He told me he'd play if he's in the area. Josh Hilliard expressed the desire to play, as did Jerry Brock. JoeyA will be here. I'm also expecting that Jamie Farrell will sign up. Eddie Brown would be a long shot, but we might get Mike Black from Baton Rouge. Lou Figueroa said he won't be able to make it this year. We could get Justin Cone or Harold McAbee. David Parker from Houston said he'd probably play.
Keep in mind that the tournament is handicapped, so a lot of the very top guys will not be attracted. However the payouts, and also the Calcutta could make an excellent payday for the top 4-5 finishers.
