That probably has something to do with it :)

It was cool seein you there, team looks ok but as long as your havin fun it'll be good. 6 players is also a good number for a team, if one can't make a tourny or practice its ok and you can switch out players if they all make it.

As far as being a front, speed does help. Unfortunately, the kind of weight lost that would really help your speed normally takes the better part of a year. Until then concentrate on how you run and where you run. Running low and keeping bunkers between you and back players (or whoever is trying to elimate you at that time) will help a great deal. At lot of times that means running a longer distance than you need, but avoiding crossing lanes. You need to get to know how to judge what lanes you can get through and which are too risky. By lanes I mean open spaces where there are no bunkers between you and the back players off the break.

If you do decide to start droppin pounds don't get discouraged. Just think of it like this, every ounce you drop is one less you have to move to the 50.

And there was us thinking you didn't have any stones... what with that hair and all

Albino a front player? Front of the line at a bar maybe...

[Dayspring]

11 stones. 6 pounds.

And manike, I wouldn't mess with the guy who looks like Jesus. He could be the second coming and we wouldn't know it.

HAHAHAHAHA

My point exactly :)

And weight isn't that big of an issue for me right now. I added a lot over the last few years by living at work and eating out every meal of every day while at work. I've switched jobs, lowered my stress, and now eat things that aren't fried at the mall and I've dropped 30 pounds in the last year.

All in due time.

Like others have said, it doesn't really matter size you are really. As long as you can get to your posistion, stay alive and shoot your angles then you can play front. If you're bigger you just have to know how to read the fields and figure out how to get to your bunker in different ways other than crossing lanes. I don't think your size should restrict you to a certain position, i.e., if you're small you're gonna be playing front and if you're a big person you're automatically stuck in the back. Heck, I'm 5'8" and about 145 lbs. and due to the fact that 5 outta the 7 guys on our team can play front well (including me) I've been playing back for the most part. So props to ya if you're that tall and playing front.

god i'm only like 5'5. i feel tiny

[Lohman446]

I play front and I'm

Oh wait... I don't play front because of size, I play front because I can't shoot the broadside of a barn... always helps to get as close as I can (which explains why I like to bunker people... I seldom miss - unless you count that one one on one tournament that missing on a bunker attempt cost me). Oh well... play to your abilities... if you don't have any get as close as you can and hope they'll surrender, its what I do :)

bunker without paint
had this happen to me, and took the chance that he was out of paint completely. but he had one ball left
