Hey, Neil! Gonna join the IPT?

[mechmat]

Have you applied or are you going to? There's really nothing to lose, this page says if you're accepted they'll pretty much waive the membership fee...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see you on this tour.

Hey Matt,

I don't believe I will be joining that tour due to calendar restraints, I can only take off so much time and still be effective at my job!! Predator has many players that will support and be great ambassdors for our product at these events. The company is sponsoring me for the rest of the 2005 and 2006 seasons with the exception of the US Open.

During some of these events I will be visiting dealers, so it is a dual purpose trip every time. I feel fortunate since I also take a one week vacation every year to myself, usually I go home to Hawaii to visit family. I appreciate your interest in my game, the staff and forum members have been great and I could not have asked for more support.

Tomorrow I am leaving for the World Summit of Pool in New York, the next tournament I will be playing is the UPA event in Atlanta next month. Wish I could go to the US Open, but the scheduling didn't work out and my tournament schedule has been set till January 2007 already. Wish me luck, the final 4 matches will be played at the ESPN Zone in Times Square. With a some good playing and a little luck I have a chance at being on TV doing what I love!!
