Handling Decisions - Watching Others
Are you confused by watching other folks run the course? What should I do if they put in a cross where you did not plan one? What if what you plan seems to be failing? Here is a flow chart that will help you decide if you should change your plan or not.

Snooker Tips
This month's tip focuses on Snooker. Below you will find a snooker card originally printed in "Strategies for 3-Reds Only Snooker" in the June 2004 issue of Clean Run magazine.
The snooker card is a two sided card. The front of the card shows you how many points you need in the closing depending on what you have successfully completed in the opening. On the back of the card is the Closing Sequence -this side of the card shows how many points you earn just in the closing when you have completed that particular number.

For an indepth explanation of the snooker card see Clean Run Magazine article "Strategies for 3-Reds-Only Snooker" in the June 2004 issue. You may also be interested in the article titled "Snooker Impaired" which was published in the April 2000 issue of Clean Run Magazine.
