HA..................... too funny.Hey, 1950 called and wondered where you went, they want you back..

To hell with that
If they're going to start playing like that Chen gal, I wish they all would
quit. They are not only getting to good but are polite, dress appropriately,
gracious, win or lose, what the hell are they trying to do to our game.
They could start playing that silly ass game curling or what ever it's
called, where they use that broom. That would be good practice for em
when they get back home where they belong.

You must live in River City
The last women's event I went to was the Delta Classic in Tunica, MS. 2004
It was a great event and I had a blast. Met lots of Pro's, got pics and autographs.
The place was packed with fans. I can't believe tours wouldn't do good here in the South.
We get NOTHING like that around here.

Pool halls are typically not a place that most women are attracted to. That would be a start: MAKE POOL HALLS A PLACE WOMEN WANT TO GO. Wait, that means get rid of most pool players??? AHHAHAHAHAHHA! I joke I joke. Seriously, walk into most pool rooms and count the amount of women. This is the main issue in my opinion.
Surge in Chicago has a very nice mix of women to men. I am sure there are other places like it, but, not many I have ever seen.

And the US will never win the Mosconi again against the superior Euros
Just bustin balls. I get what you are saying. I watched a girl in Nashville not long ago practicing on a table by herself. I watched as she broke and ran 4 racks of ten ball on a 7 ft diamond in what seemed like 5 minutes. Didn't hesitate but a second before dropping down and firing in ball after ball. Looked like she got bored and went to the bar after 4 racks...don't have a clue who she was, but man could she shoot.
No telling how many girls like that out there. I can't imagine somebody that shoots that sporty being scared to play anyone...
and shoes, offer them shoes
That is the Billiard Cafe in Chicago. I notice Ronnie sitting on the table too. WTF? He should know better!
Cuter cue design.
That game with the 15 numbered balls is the devils tool.... :thumbup:

We are down to maybe 3 or 4 pool rooms in the Philly city limits + a few more in the surrounding suburbs and some of them serve alcohol. All of the leagues (APA, BCA, TAP and others) play in bars on 7 ft tables. Can't get young people involved early if there is no place to play until they are old enough to drink alcohol.
WPBA died when Brunswick stopped putting tournaments on ESPN. There is nobody else going to pay 50k to produce a one hour made for TV event.
Pool is a fringe sport....sooner people accept that the better.
Matchroom sports involvement will be big but the American media won't follow it.

Believe it or not, Sports Illustrated once published one of the best articles ever written on Pool. Of course it was 42 years ago, but the main subject is still very much alive and with us today.
EASY TIMES THE HARD WAY
After long years on the hustle, pool shooter Danny D realizes that he bought a dream. He has also discovered—too late—that the price was exorbitant
High schools have bowling programs now too. It's a scholarship sport at many colleges - Vanderbilt and Nebraska to name two.
Although this article was written on the struggles of being a top pool player 42 years ago, virtually nothing has changed since then - very sad.
