🏆🏆 What is your LARGEST pool accomplishment?

[Bigkat]

Multi-layered answer but here goes......
1) From a playing standpoint: Either won solo or have been a team member of, I believe, 11 national championships or so.
2) Have run over 1000 tournaments around my area over the last 31 years. (Over 18 years and counting on an every friday night tourney) I consider this my biggest and my proudest contribution to pool in my area.
3) But easily my biggest pool accomplishment was convincing my (now wife) 20 years ago next May at the BCA National tournament , that I wasn't just some dumb shmuck pool player and that she would be well advised to date me.

SHE MADE A WISE DECISION SIR!! LOL

Let’s see….

I won the NH State 8-ball Open Amateur championship. No leagues. No handicaps. 9’ tables with tight pockets. I think they were Connellys.

I also won a BCA Pool League “New England States” 8-ball championship. That was on Valley barboxes.

But I think that writing for InsidePOOL, doing color commentary for professional events and being on the HoF committee (especially for the Veterans Committee) are my proudest achievements.

I also have christened a few pool tables, so maybe those top everything else.

OUTSTANDING!!

I have a ton of playing stuff that im proud of and competing also.
Over them all I rate working on my students. Especially one boy who was 13 when he joined my junior team that I taught to play.
He was getting in troublesome company and had problems in school and little ADHD too. Anyways he got into pool so much he focused it so much he ditched his bad company and focused to learn and play pool. He was good player already age of 15-16 but then he found lovely girl and wanted to get money and went to work on his father business to get some money.
He then started play and practice less and less and got married and get children early too.
Couple years later his parents came with flowers and wanted to say thank you for me. They said boy was getting in criminal company and that I inspired him to learn pool so much that it turned his life around.

I think if you can do that nothing else really will top of that.

GREAT JOB. TEACHERS ARE SPECIAL PEOPLE..EACH ONE TEACH ONE

I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express one time. To be honest, the pool wasn't very large.
