Straight Pool Group has been growing so much we were asked to Qualify for the US OPEN

Yep,
We have hit a an untapped resource, Straight Pool is Alive and well in So. Cal, so much so that upon seeing our facebook site with photos, I received a call from the folks from the 2016 US Open Straight Pool Championship in Windsor Locks, CT. And we were asked if we could host a qualifier, unfortunately the US Open is (April 20-24), and we just don't have the time to put a Qualifier together here in the LA area by the deadline of April 6th.
But it was awesome being asked, and look out next year... we will be a force to reckon with at the 2017 US Open Straight Pool Championship!

See you all this Saturday. From 1pm-6pm table time is $20 for the 5 hours of pool, (The early Bird Special) just tell the Manager of Scratch "Real Men Play Straight Pool" unless your a woman then say.... or "GLTG Play Straight Pool!" This offer is good everyday thanks to all the straight pool action! Just ask for "The Early Bird Special" and play 5 hours of excellent pool in a nice quite air-conditioned environment for $20 bucks. Offer only good 1pm to 6pm!

Yes, it was supposed to start at 2pm. It started a little late, I hope next time you come out and play Bill! We have enough to do a 6 man workshop with Calvin Coker. $100 a piece, from 10:00am to 5pm on March 10th, we will be holding it down the street at Diamond Billiards, in Brea, on a Sunday.
Also this was only our 2nd week, I think we did pretty well. it's not easy getting players to shoot together for the love of the game with no $$$$.
I'm proud of what we have accomplished in just 2 weeks. This weekend member Colin Angle will be competing in the qualifier for the US Open in Connecticut!
Lets wish him Much Luck!
Hope to see you tomorrow Bill, and bring some friends!
I can't do this alone.

Morning Sports fans!

Everyone picking out there chalks and what not. I have been working on my break and different breaks shots. I was thinking at some point we could do a "best opening break competition". see who can leave the toughest rack. along with pairing up for some races to 50, so we can get around and mingle more. But always open to other idea's! So come on down and jump in! Don't be too cool for school, and beginners are welcome. Advanced players are welcome as well, we would love to learn from you! Please leave ego's at the door, your ego is not your amigo, I have played with the best players alive and none of them are as stuck up as an average a to b player. We are here to have fun your skill level is of no importance, of course we would love to see some great match ups! So stop on by & shoot some & have fun, over 200 micro-beers, good food, and stay and watch the fight after if youlike that stuff! we'll have and a Ball and Biscuit !

And wish our member Colin Angle Good Luck as he plays Easy street Billiards today in Monterey for the US Open 14.1 qualifier!

Yesterday, Sat. 3/5/2016 Another Red Letter Day for our Straight Pool Group!

Despite some regulars not being able to make it,due to one of our founding members Roman's aunt's passing. We had a big much different turn out, some very advanced players including Ron Rosas of 80's and 90's 9-ball fame! Along with some of the top local talent. Tremoore (the Nigerian Dwarf know as The Terror of Tiny Town) and Jimbo along with a couple Danny K and Hardtimes players. Tremoore (The Terror of Tiny Town) stole the show with a high run of 60 balls his second inning in his 1st match against Ron Rosas! Ron quickly strung a 30 ball run, a safety and several 14 to 18 ball runs together for a win of 100 to 84 total.
Tremoore (the Nigerian Dwarf) kept the High run, Jimbo had some awesome games beating me; who couldn't hit the urinal with a funnel yesterday! But had a great time! Sorry it wasn't as organized as last week but with so many more players it was hard to meet everyone, just keep coming folks hopefully the regulars will be back tomorrow....Open to Beginners, Intermediates and advanced(as well as "wee folk" & Chinamen" Big Prayers going out to Roman's family and aunt who passed away Friday... Roman, Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. May God's Grace strengthen your family.

Its Saturday, and past the start time, but thought I'd drop by to watch. Maybe even get on a table if any are available, for some 14.1.

Where is this going to be?

Thank you to everyone who turned out for my birthday!

This was our best turn out yet! And with the highest caliber of players so far!
No great matches or high runs over 30 balls, but many were playing 9 ball and other games so as to rotate players quicker. Thanks' to everyone who turned out, sorry it was a little hectic and we didn't stick to Straight, but next week we will be back on track! Special thanks to my daughter Angelina for coming out and for Jimbo's mom who made the best German Chocolate Cup cakes I have ever had!

This was are best week on Record! We even had enough for an exciting Tournament!

Awesome turn out!
Beginners, Intermediates and some advanced players competed on 3 gold crowns, it came down to two tables going and the winner of each table played to 100 for the championship! We had a raffle, some OB Chalk and Longoni Gloves donated by BA Pool Tables.
And this awesome looking unmarked cue was raffled off see bottom pic. (um I won it) but as I only play with Schons I gave it to a sweet girl just learning in the APA.
1st Place was Tall Tony Masconi! OB Chalk
2nd Place was Ken"The 9 Ball Jesus" Longoni Glove
3rd Place was "Snotty Scottie Hankie" G2 Tip (Medium)
and 4th
"Malibu Mike Murphy" at least I won this goofy looking unidentifiable cue, just chicken scratch initials on it but it went to a sweet APA 2 beginner, so at least now she doesn't have to play with a house cue! See you next week for my 14.1, Raffle and if enough show up BA Pool tables may donate a Pro-Glove wrist brace or a Ghost ball table marker and Bob Burns Power Practice work-out DVD!

Lots of odd raffle presents please donate for 14.1 to help it grow, any idea's?

It looks fancy but I expect those are decals, and wow the Ivory looks almost real! Anyway I found a home for it with an APA bar-box beginner! If you have or know of anyone that has scuffers or shapers, chalk or old mystery cues like this in your garage or collecting dust, please donate them to our Straight pool community so we can get 14,1 back where it should be The Championship game of pool! This game takes smarts!!!!!!! Thanks again to Alex a BA POOL TABLES in North Hollywood for gloves, Straight Pool Bible (KJV) and Chalk!
