I cannot recall a room called Country Club Billiards in SF in the mid-70’s.
I do remember Van’s Billiards, a two story affair, on Van Ness, and Town and Country Billiards in Daly City. It was at the latter that I met Dalton, who was traveling through the area with Hawaiian Brian. A bunch of us went to breakfast early one morning after the pool room closed down. He seemed like a nice enough guy.

It may of been closed by then. I know the Bart was not yet going in, on Market St.
If your back was to the SF Bay and you were walking up hill it was on the right. The opposite side of the Street from Henry Africas.
H.A. was, thee Only bar I ever worked in, where I cracked an egg, dumped the yellow and made it a Tom Collins after putting it in the blender. Also the only bar I ever worked at that, if you ordered a screw driver. We squeezed the orange an then added vodka.
Wasn't....ummmm trying to remember, a good one hole player in his day Ron something/Italian, not Barber. His family was in charge of the bartenders union. I can see his face. Pretty his name was Ron. He played at Gradys place in Colorado Springs in the mid seventies, and stayed for quite awhile.
