World Ranking at 1st August 2005: 188
Star of stage, screen and lawn, legend in his own life time, Doug Grimsley of Fairfax, Virginia, could easily be mistaken for Bruce Willis. Following a brief, but critically acclaimed cameo appearance in the cult movie favourite, "Boogie Nights", Doug left the bright lights of Hollywood behind to pursue his first love----the quest for the perfect tuna! Aboard his lovingly restored trawler, the "Fluffy One", he spent the subsequent years trolling the Mighty Potomac, practicing croquet, and showering often. In a short, but inspired period of play (or as some have speculated--after a pact with the devil), Doug managed to win the 2003 USCA National Championship on a lucky shot. His additional successes have been both sporadic and mildly entertaining at best, but he continues to strive for the elusive "perfect game".... though often settles for praying that his opponent will self-destruct. Although he does not intend to run the length of Manhattan to get his reward he will be a competitive threat to the other entrants. |
