Any Players in Pike County Kentucky
I've decided not to make a go club yet, just wanting to see how many players are in my local area before I even attempt

Re: Any Players in Pike County Kentucky
If I recall correctly Pike county is in eastern KY. I would be very surprised if there were any other players there. In the days before the internet I had to take two separate three-year breaks from the game when I lived in such remote locations.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Re: Any Players in Pike County Kentucky
Well, taking Pikeville as your starting point, the nearest AGA clubs are a little far.
Maybe you can find people by posting messages on bulletin boards (the actual physical kind with pinned bits of paper) but a rural, remote area is just about the worst place to expect lots of go players.
Don't expect to find a lot of people, though. It's a pretty rare hobby, around 1 out of 50000 to 100000 people seem to play it.

The pinned bits of paper idea was a loss a year ago, so I thought posting here would be a bit easier of a target

Yeah, small towns are not good for uncommon interests.
I would probably die without internet and mail order to keep me a little connected.
