Paul,
We could have an entry for who wrote the most books....in place of events.
Buggs is working on a new flytying book. It's about Chuck (Huck) and
Jimmy
D's (Jim) Southern warmater flyfishing adventures.
It's entitled 'The Adventures of Hookleberry Fin'.

The thing about games like golf is that there are competitive events as
a yardstick. Most majors, most wins in a row, etc., are ways to "judge,"
leaving room for debate as to which yardstick is "best." Also, because
of the "reward" system, it's fair to assume that few if any outstanding
golfers never enter the lists.
OTOH, fly tying has few events, and a pretty chintzy reward system. So,
while we can look to the 3 or 4 world events for fly tiers for he/she
who has garnered the most "places", it's equally likely that some
non-competitive, unknown, tier is in fact the most skilled.
Here endeth the lesson,
cheers
Paul
