Just means they discussed it back and forth, talked about it basically .........it's slang really but is common in USA and even in UK to a lesser degree. Jawed to you asbani possibly means being snookered on a ball by the jaws of the pocket?:smile:

That's seriously good as is Corvette's.....when you consider that Sevvy Ballesteros' party trick at his peak in the 1980's was to go round Wentworth (The Picadilly Match Play venue at the time and nowhere near 7100 yards) in exhibitions in about 75/76 using a 5 iron AND A PUTTER.

Here's a strange golf spot..... Years ago Maurice Bembridge, an English Pro who once held the course record at Augusta, used to be "the man" for golf money matches in Uk. He had a fantastic record against both pros and amateurs for money yet people used to travel from afar to take him on mainly...

Yep it does sound very familiar ironman.......and to be perfectly honest any family who encourages a family member to take pool very seriously is probably doing that person no favours. As a pool mad person you will forever be viewed by the majority of people, including many potential employers...

Anyone having significant problems making straight in shots might want to consider going on to a snooker table and practicing similar shots there for a while. When you return to the pool table you will approach the shot with much more confidence irrespective of how succesful you were on the...

Leaving aside for the moment the question of what gives you the right to unilaterally define exactly what constitutes the sole possible meaning of "added money" for everyone else, surely the most important bottom line is simply that advertising of events is honest and above board as regards...

Although they were not maried to each other at that time, her husband Ross McInnes is a pool legend and one of the finest, possibly THE finest, uk style 8 ball players it has ever been my pleasure to play against, which I did.....a lot......in the early/mid 80's in Scotland and elsewhere in Uk...

Dates actually clash with the official 2008 European Championships which are being held in Willingen Germany. Not aware of a single qualifying event having actually taken place in Uk. Know that one or two were provisionally scheduled and cancelled through apparent lack of interest there. Think...

travis trotter is my cousin and he would never go to a scary pool hall like that one he beat my uncle his dad this week for the first time and that's something for all the family to celebrate so we went to a club but we had to play with rack cues because we didn't bring our cuetecs on account of...

Alas, there's too many good ones six foot under:(

Bloody poolitics!! In just about every pool playing country in the world during every decade since the 60's at least, at some stage bloody poolitics rears its disgusting scabby head. Always some jobsworths fighting their petty little wars at one level or another. Call me cynical but I wouldn't...

Read the sticky thread on "club membership" which is permanently near the top of page 1 of the Main Forum, all details are in there.

Not necessarily, it happens quite a lot, even in golf. There are withdrawals after the first round of PGA Tour events almost every week as there are in The European PGA Tour. No crucifixion takes place. I personally played in the season ending Tour Championship event on the European PGA...

Good for you BigDog. Re publicity, media etc......none of my business really.....and fully understand your enthusiasm, but my personal thoughts as a businessman would be that a happy medium is going to have to be found at this stage regarding the level you and others pitch that publicity...

Sponsors aren't going to magically appear out of the woodwork just because someone says they can make pool more exciting with this or that game or this or that approach. The excitment and interest is going to have to be generated and proved first in the hope that the sponsor money will follow...

Ted Lowe, tv snooker commentator... "....and for those of you watching in black and white that's the ball behind the blue......" "......and there you are, steve davis pots the black and takes his 3rd world title and the absolutely most remarkable thing about it is that his mother doesn't like...

I honestly don't mean this in any way negatively, quite the reverse. When you cut away all the chaff, at the end of the day Allen is simply offering anyone of any level of pool ability from anywhere a $5,000/- dollar place in a tournament to be run under his reliable auspices. He also...

There is a comparable tournament eligibility problem in uk style 8 ball pool playing countries as well. I think its just a symptom of a much wider ailment rather than a stand alone issue. Like yours their problem has its deepest of roots in pool being one of very few sports in which........ (a)...

If you are currently on Daylight Saving Time (Summer Time) in Washington DC ,which I think you are, that means you are on GMT -4 hours. That means 12.40pm Thursday in Doha Qatar equates to 5.40am Thursday in WDC. If you are not currently on Daylight Saving Hours it will be 4.40 am in WDC. For...

Actually JAM my post wasn't intended in any way to be a correction, in fact I hadn't even noticed the earlier little faux pas about Ashok Kumar's nationality when I posted my explanation of what INA stood for so there was nothing to be corrected as far as I knew at that time. What I was doing...
