Frank Torres was and still is a great billiard player that plays golf really well as does Carlos. Frank was working at College Billiards in SD a few years ago where there was a golf game going on all day and night every day.

Very interesting, the overlap between three cushion and golf. I like golf already -- even though I have never played it lol

Yes, Kronenwirth. Thanks. Howard was a great natural player. Seems to me that he never learned a system-- strictly feel. Is that right?
There was a murderous crew at Tiff's in those days: Allen Gilbert, Frank Torres, Howard, and several other top players whose names escape me. Tiff, of course, was an excellent player himself.
The 3C/Golf affinity probably has something to do with a player's spatial imagination in regards multiple cushion shots and layouts.

Howard was a great guy Doc, with an interesting job. He worked for Disney and was the guy who signed Walt Disney's name to everything.

Interesting! I knew he worked for the studios, but didn't know about the signature. Tiff's had a lot of industry guys as regulars: writers, technical guys, etc. And as you know, Tiff and his wife were prominent hoofers in their day. Tiff was very light on his feet, and cut a nice figure moving around the 3C table..
