I just read in the current Billiards Digest that Ga Young Kim has been "barred indefinitely from tournaments in Taiwan after an incident at the 2006 Asian Games." The article said that details were not available, but that "Kim explained that a rift occurred when she was acting as translator for...

Road player from 'way back....used to travel with Kris Turner, a straight-shootin' gal from my (original) neck of the woods. Haven't heard anything about him (or her) in years! Anybody know how he's hitting 'em nowadays? (Edited to add: I would really be interested in any info about...

Hey Linda, hope you're having fun, and thanks for all the great pics and threads!! Just some random questions/thoughts (forgive me if these have been addressed in other threads - I haven't read them all): Who is Jackie Broadhurst? Has she played in any WPBA events? Gee, Rafael Martinez...

(This subject was touched on in another thread, but I thought it worthy of its own thread): I've always wondered about the adage that one must gamble for one's livelihood to be a champion.....does anyone suppose this is also true in other sports? Are aspiring young golfers advised to golf for...

This was brought up on another thread, but I felt it deserved a thread of its own. Does anybody know anything about Jon (not sure I'm spelling his name right)? Years ago, when the women and men played together and I started playing pro, he was always nice to me and I considered him a friend. Any...

I was looking over the brackets for the women's U.S. Open, and saw that Ga-Young Kim is waiting for the winner of the one-loss side!! How exciting - especially if the final is Kim versus Herndon!! (Way to go, Melissa!) Hmmmm....Julie Kelly in Windsor, now perhaps Ga-Young Kim or Melissa...

Just wanted to congratulate you on your 5th place finish in Windsor!! Way to go!! :) Kerry

Does anybody know why, in the middle of his match against George San Souci, Jeremy Jones unscrewed his cue and walked out? Seems uncharacteristic - I was just reading in Billiards Digest how he never gives up, overcoming great deficits in the Big Apple Challenge to beat the likes of Souquet and...

I was just cruising the brackets, checking things out, and I noticed that no fewer than 10 players forfeited their matches in the losers' bracket!! I know that Scott Frost got lost, but what happened to the rest? And it's absolutely NOT LIKE Dan Louie to forfeit!! Has there been some...

I know that practicing alone doing drills for shotmaking and position is excellent practice and very important, but is that enough? I have two small children at home and a busy husband, so I can't get out and play small tournaments (like on weeknights or weekends), or play other people unless...

Hi out there. I just heard that Corrine Hoffman died. Does anybody know anything about that? Her sister, Bonnie, was a tremendous 9-ball player in the late 80s; Corrine ran the women's regional tour in Florida until not very long ago, I believe. I didn't know her but she can't have been very...

Does anybody have any info on the Pechauer tour stop held at City Lights in Tacoma, WA this weekend? Thanks!
