If the closed is in Louisville, will Johnstone play this year? Also, how do we contact him? Last I heard he doesn't check the message board at all.

Has Johnstone confirmed he will be playing? If you give me his number I'll confirm if you haven't. I just know that he got frustrated last time with no one calling him on time and I'd like to make sure that doesn't occur.

Also, if he isn't going to play, it will give Mike Thomas a longer period of time to prepare which I think Mike would be appreciative.

When and where will the Adult Closed be held? I didn't see any posts on it. What time are the rounds? Also, has anyone called Johnstone yet?

From my last conversation with Allen, it is this weekend. Round times are still not decided nor is the site. It will be at 1 of 3 potential sites here in Louisville. Allen may have more details today. I have heard nothing of the conversation involving Johnstone.
