True, I am not the Jim Akins you know from GA, but we do both play disc golf.
I met him back in the eighties when he was playing in a tourney at UCF in Orlando. I walked up to him and said " Are you Jim Akins " he said yes.... and I said " So am I ".... He seemed a little shocked and wondered what I meant I guess... Maybe I scared him a little.... Tell him Jim Akins from Florida says hey and tell him that I play golf quite often with somebody he might remember, Steve "Slaz" Slasor.
hey e.t., i am coming to atlanta next week for the open. i arrive on wednesday 2 april and would love to have you show me around one or both of the courses, and maybe get a beer or four. email me and we'll exchange numbers. spike at mindspring dot com.
I didn`t notice your post until recently, sorry about that. I`ve researched it some and the only thing I know for sure is the Italian part of my family was from northern Italy. They emigrated here shortly after 1900 to Ellis Island.
Thanks! Maybe I'll look into having the drawing transferred to shirts and caps, or even a custom stamp for discs. Could be used for the 2008 Nebdisc Tour member disc.
Hey #1111,
No problem, happy to throw out some helpful tips especially when it comes to throwing forehand. I am glad that they were helpful to you as well. Good luck in the upcoming year.
