The encouragement I get from my fellow players helps me a lot. We have some excellent players, guys who can hit that ball a mile a second. But they don’t because we’re down here to...

If we had four walls we could attract more players.

At my age, my knees and shoulders do ache, but once I’m playing, it seems the action lubricates my parts. So I don’t mind it at all.

I pace myself. I don’t strain. After all, it’s not the Olympics. If I get tired, I sit down. The continuous rotation appeals to me to no end.
