As some member know I have been spending time doing something I can put my interest in and found that shooting pool was a can do in my life.
Well last night I had to qualify and play and win a position to move forward in my dream. :cheers:
I can't wait for March 8) it give's me time to better my game and control :happy10:

Here I go on my first step to Cape Girardeau, MO. to see what it is like to play in a singles 8 ball tournament :happy10::happy10::happy10:

I know it's one step at a time and I just wanted to share that I am moving forward :happy10:

Cool! I used to play TONS in my youth. I had a friend in a legion pool team. They were short a player and invited me in . The other team wasnt happy because I ended up winning the tournament for the legion!

It's a game I truly miss,but no room in the house and no pool hall locally. Just the really bad tables at the local bar. I dont drink so it's kind of a bummer.
 
so do I understand correctly you are going to the regional tournament?
 
Mike, looks like you're on your way. Dont forget to tell the girls about your old buddy Bill when ya make it big.

Last night we had 8 ball league night and And I earned two patches, 1 brake and run and 8 on the brake. We "Treva and I" enjoy getting out for our 8 ball APA league night, and it was a good one :-D The APA sends out a magazine to us know and then and they said I was in it the top ten new Hot Shots in APA :happy10::happy10::happy10:, Dr cue has been helping my game, I watch him on U-Tube. It sure feels good to have people look up to me and tell me how well my game has gotten so much better :happy10:

Thank you John :happy10::happy10: and there is a bit of luck involved on how the balls roll, I have studied on the worst things a pool player does and started there to bring my game up. Youtube has been my friend for sure. I told my team captain last night that was was learning how to keep score and he said to me "You just keep doing what you are doing and we will leave the scoring to us memike" in a joking manner :toothy10:
Treva and I shoot with a Viking cue and I drive a Valiant, so I guess that makes me the V-MAN :-D
