This is Ian Hovey. I'm not gonna sit on this board and talk smack about things they know nothing about, and also ruin my previous spnsorship oppurtunities by acting like my friend but at the same time going behind my back and runing their mouth when I might threaten them. (MATT)
So I've made some mistakes and I'm coming out of it. My disc golf career IS!!! going somewhere. This is only the beginning. Im extremely sorry I made those mistakes. My game is NOT going down the tubes, and neither is my skating. I can only get better at this point. I'm not looking for sponsorship. I get the feeling I might never get sponsored and Im okay with that. But I'm going to prove to myself that I can make it in this great sport that helped put me on this earth.

Thanks to all those who still support and see potential in me. I really appreciate it.

Ian what did I say that was so bad? I said that to say you were the best player in Austin was not an accurate statement right? I mean there are a lot of good players in that town and I think that saying you are the best is taking away from them. I also said that "he is the best player in Texas for his age group" may not be very accurate as well. Then I stated that you won a B-tier with 1000 rated golf and that I wish I had gone since the Open players didn't play so hoTT.

I just don't understand what is so wrong with that?

So saying he isnt as good as people think and then saying that he won a Tournament because the other pros played like crap is a good thing???

No saying that he is better than 6 other 1000+ guys in the area when he is 991 in my opinion is not a fair statement and I said so. I never said he won the event because everyone else played bad because I know he didn't play his best as well.

I really like Ian but I also like many other Austin Pros and to say he is better then them IMHO isn't fair especially since he's only played 1 pro event where some of those pros signed up. I also wasn't too fond of Joe saying he was the best player for his age in the state due to the fact we are the same age and he hasn't ever beaten me.
