I returned Sunday from a nice family camping trip to North Carolina, where the WDF World Cup of Darts will be held next year. We went to the Asheville area and took in some of the great scenery in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The colors were changing in the higher altitudes with a lot of red and gold foliage. We visited the Biltmore Estate, the largest privately owned home in America, and climbed the mountain at Chimney Rock Park. Oliver learned how to shoot a slingshot, we visited with our friend Mary who drove up from South Carolina, and then visited my brother's family in Greensboro. It was a nice time.
There is some good dart action coming up in November for New Jersey area darters. On Saturday, November 8, 2008 between noon and 5 p.m. there will be dart exhibition and clinic in New York City at Blatt Billiards, featuring Jim Widmayer, Bill Bell, Tim O'Gorman, and Joe Swick. The flyer indicates that there will also be discounted dart supplies on sale. It sounds like a great excuse to go into the city for a fun day of darts.
According to the Phillydarts website, on Saturday, November 8, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. the finals of the Larry Wiz Memorial Cricket Chamionship of Philadelphia will be held at SmokeEaters Bar in Philadelphia, at 7681 Frankford Ave., tel. no. (215) 338-4188. Qualifiers for the event have been running since June and many of Philly's best dart players will be competing. Please note that you cannot compete if you have not already qualified.
New Jersey area darters should also be gearing up for the $10,000.00+ Long Island Fall Classic on November 28-30, 2008. The Fall Classic is always a good tournament and it's the last nearby weekend tournament of the year.
Practice has been going well with some slow but steady improvement. I will keep you posted on the latest developments. Until then, good darts!
