What Players Discuss During Breaks

"There you go," Perry Friedman chimed in. "No overlap. Zero overlap."
Ferguson got a distant stare in his eyes. "The thing would be eight months long," he mused aloud. Everyone laughed.

Ferguson cut Bach off. "Ok, besides the Ladies Event and the Seniors Event. There are two events I would not play."
