Semi-pro female player

cjr3559 · Sep 21, 2011

I'm looking to see if anyone can tell me who I met.

Earlier this spring my girlfriend and I visited her brother in California when we were at a party in Hermosa Beach. There were a group of girls that I spoke to, and one said they played pool professionally.

For the life of me I can't remember her name. Unfortunately once she said she played pool as her job, my girlfriend whipped me out of there so fast I never got to find out more about her. She said something about being a singer/vocalist earlier in her life, but gave that up.

I know this isn't much info, but does this person ring a bell? I thought maybe it could have been Emily Duddy (looks wise), but I can't say for sure.

Just wondering ---

Can't help you with that, but I like the photo of Fats standing at the end of his driveway in Dowell, Illinois. There were three Caddy's parked in that driveway. I know because i was there once. :smile:

When we fed the dogs, they came running from every direction across those open fields. TRUE story!

I'd say early 30's. No more than 35, can't be much younger than 30.

I doubt it was Duddy. For one, I would say Emily does not look older than 30 and I don't think she has an interest in singing but I don't know her that well. She's from Cali but she's living on the east coast now. The truth is, very few people make a living at pool, even a 'semi' living but a lot of people claim to!

Pretty sure he meant his girlfriend's brother.

It was a large word of mouth type party; lots of people coming and going. He probably didn't even know her. Friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend thing.

Pretty sure he also meant his girlfriend's brother.

Who's on first?

Thanks for the replies -- Mary Avina is close with the interest in art and being from SoCal, but no. This girl didn't seem to have an accent like Mary. Not Angel Paglia, either.

While this forum has amazing powers, you are never gonna get this one answered.

Anyone who claims to be 'semi-pro' isn't anyone of note in the pool world, IMO. Anyone in the know would know there is no such thing as semi-pro. They are all 'pros'.

We know she's female, so that narrows it down to 50 percent of the population. How about hair color and race? Any accent (Southern, New Yawky/Brooklyn, European, etc).

Actual lady pro's living in CA, or used to live in CA for a while:

Tina Pawloski (retired)
Melissa Herndon (active WPBA)
Melissa Morris (active WPBA)
Robin Bell Dodson (retired)
Stacy Novak (semi-pro)
Jenny Lee (off-n-on)
Jan McWorter (retired)
Ming Ng (off-n-on on the east coast somewhere)
Aileen Pippen (retired)
Jennifer Chen (living in Taiwan now)
Stephanie Boch (off-n-on)
Mary Rakin (not sure)
Michelle Rakin (retired)
Mary Avina (self professed pro)
Melinda Huang (not sure)

I am sure there are more, but I spaced out... Please others add to the list.

Semi Pro

A Semi Pro in the women's ranks doesn't mean much. She could just be what you and I would call an average player. Men's tournaments with 64 and 128 players, have women's events that have to beg to get close to 16 players. If she didn't win $3,000 or better last year, I would hardly call her Semi Pro.

Stacy Novak is likely if she sings.

The Callado girls are also top female CA players...Asian or not would narrow this question down a bit.
