Shooters took us down 21-16, no thanks to me.  I went 0-6 in singles.  No excuse for that.  My opponents did not outplay me, I beat myself with the most lame-ass darts you can imagine.  Disgusting.

Redemption of sorts came when Dave and I teamed up in doubles and went 6-0.  So, a .500 start is small consolation, but I will take.  As I promised my teammates, I will not play so poorly again.  That would be like lightning striking twice…

Crap.

Or at least I hope so.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen it is once again opening night in the Seoul International Dart League.

I begin the summer season with a new team, the Rubbies.  I don’t know the origin of the name, but in one form or another the Rubbies have been an Itaewon institution for more than a decade.  This season also marks the return to my bar “home” at Dolce Vita.  I’m also playing with a good group of guys I know well, respect as darters and am comfortable playing with.  My mates are Tom Randolph, Dave New, Dan Orrico, and Rod Rodriguez.

I’ve still got a slight case of new team and opening night jitters, but I expect I will play through it and do fine.  Power of positive thinking and all that.  We open against Shooters, a new team in “A” division, playing out of Blue Frog.

Like it or not, you can expect to see an account of tonight’s action here at LTG.  Look for it!
