But, it might just motivate you so could be a winner. Risky in my opinion.

But don't do it if it does not feel right.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing you at the Devil's!<BR/><BR/>ThomasThomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12642801966035986262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29668877.post-54730257459307790322008-07-18T22:16:00.000+01:002008-07-18T22:16:00.000+01:00We can talk more tomorrow on the way to the Open b...We can talk more tomorrow on the way to the Open but to start the ball rolling I would say no. This is such a big undertaking ... if you are not 100% committed then you won't give it your best and if you aren't able to give it your best then you'll be disappointed.<BR/><BR/>Having said that if you are committed to it and going ahead I will happily help on the back up.<BR/><BR/>JohnJohn Kynastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436853872576303518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29668877.post-15046080958086409912008-07-18T22:08:00.000+01:002008-07-18T22:08:00.000+01:00No you shouldn't do it!
