why no hate for PA now
« on: October 28, 2007, 11:53:37 PM »
ok so did no one hear the "your ball will be right back" when PA wrapped a 7 pin, and then his comment of  "at least I pick up my spares" after making it?  is this not just as bad as Scroggs comment a few back about bowling like a league bowler?  Scroggs gets the hate but PA gets a pass?  Discuss!

J Mac whatch the grind of qualifying then match play. They all mumble to themselves or get outright pissed at times. Problem is people can't place theirselves in these mens shoes. These guys have 10 times the amount of pressure in a week than we 95% of the working world. Now I'm not saying its all bad pressure or that they are performing brain surgery but the mental side of the tour is very tough to grasp. PA like Jeff said is misunderstood. He's by no means my favorite but on a more non-competing side he has always been funny as h#ll when I've talked with him or around him and some of the other guys. Remember White hat vs Black hat makes for better ratings also.

5-10% of the tour gets paid well. The rest skirt the edges and probably make less than me which is a sad amount. (Figuring in cost of expenses vs pay) Yes they chose that and most of us wish we had the talent to try it out but its not the glitz most think it is and its more grind I believe.

I have met PA at a number of reginal events and he has been extremely nice and pleasant to talk with.  He really seems like a fun guy to be around!!
