Yeah, we are spread out so it makes it more expensive and time consuming to get together. But that's not all, our pools suck. But wait, there's more... we generally don't start playing until we are in our 20s. That's right, so if it takes 10 years, as the article suggests, we are in our 30s and wearing out (trust me Liam, you'll start to feel it soon) before we are good enough to compete. And then we have issues with pool managers and potential lawsuits, and blah blah blah.

But we are working on making it better. We have a plan. Whether we execute it well or not we'll see in many years. But hopefully we get our Junior program up to one-tenth what you guys have done in NZ over the last 15 years.

And I like the creatively sidetracked angle. Seems I've had that disease for years but just needed a name for it.
