BrandyWine, is right on the mark. I actually appreciate offers of games, as long as a polite decline is accepted, and unsolicited advice isn't offered.

Kind of an old joke for this board....I knew someone was going to say it. Glad I wasn't disappointed.

My teammates always call me that, because I'm the good girl on the team....so they blame me for everything that goes wrong and all the trouble they get into. Of course, that context doesn't really follow me here.... Plus it starts with P, rhymes with T, that stands for Trouble"

Poolplayer2093--I'm just old enough to find that possibility kind of consoling. Randyg--I'll send you a PM.

Okay, I just need to vent a little bit.....My latest coach/mentor just said he can't practice with me anymore because he doesn't want his girlfriend to be uncomfortable with him coaching women. My first mentor stopped practicing with me because he suspected that his girlfriend and I were more...

You can add me to the list, too.

Of course.... Surly, I think your thread has been hijacked. Of course, it just doesn't seem possible to mention the APA without things going this direction. Ken, I do think you're right, leagues are mainly social events with some friendly competition thrown in. Its a great environment for a...

Surly, I spent a good year playing 8-ball in the APA as a SL 2...and yes there were some painful matches that just didn't seem to end....where I felt guilty subjecting my teammates to such horrible pool. But I was lucky to have a couple experienced players on my team who took an interest in my...

Are you interested in playing 8-ball or 9-ball?

Similar experience Johnnyz86- I had a similar experience. I did video analysis with a couple of different instructors and pointed out my elbow drop. Its pretty slight for most shots, but definitely there. Both of them felt that it was a good idea to work on eliminating it because its an...

Handicaps.... Interesting. The problem is I don't think the bars are willing to bother with assigning handicaps. Is there a simple way of doing it that I'm not thinking of?

Once upon a time there used to be a lot of cheap bar tournaments in my area, but they've all disappeared. When I've asked the bar owners why, they all say the same thing, the "sharks" would come in, get a glass of water or one $2 beer and then scare everyone else away....it wasn't good for...

Rakin beats Yu Ram Cha not Iris Ranola The AZB story is wrong.....Michelle Rakin beat Yu Ram Cha 9-7. Iris is still in it after defeating Ewa Lawrence and plays Miyuki Sakai tomorrow. Anway, go Michelle, go!!! I'm rooting for both Michelle Rakin and Iris to make it to the final 16.

I played Gary & Stacy in the Doubles Tournament. Stacy is definitely a strong shooter but it was hard to tell as Gary was so good at placing the cue ball that she had very few difficult shots. I really enjoyed meeting them and enjoyed competing against them. We almost had 'em. Glad I didn't...

That Carolina sneaky is beautiful...but, I'm looking for something simple. Actually without the inlays that's a lot like one of the cues I almost got. I'm looking to spend about 250-350.
